We are, right this minute, putting into action plans to get a new puppy. For what it’s worth, we promised Harry a puppy of his own ever since we gave up the cats last summer. We’ve just been putting it off. Until after the baby is born. Until after our trip to San Jose for BlogHer. Until someone puts some rat terriers up for sale. Until after Christmastime. Now, at last, we’ve found our pup. And? She’s mighty cute.
This puppy is in Elko. My mother in law is going to go pay for her tomorrow for us and I’m pretty sure she’ll bring her to Winnemucca for us this weekend. We’re meeting them there to give them Harry. He’s going to spend the week there next week, since he’s on break from school. But we have no name for her. And, I’m sorry, but I’ve already named a HUMAN BEING this year, I’m not naming a dog too. That’s your job, Internets. I’ve got five names here for you to pick from. The winning name is the dog’s name. Sound like a deal? Don’t let me down!

To answer a few questions that J asked… yes, it’s another rat terrier like Beetoe. She’s just over two months old, was born December 2.
Kile’s mom picked her up this morning and apparently there’ve already been several offers to take her off our hands should we decide we don’t want her. Apparently, she’s quite the cutie pie. She’s really tiny (smaller than the pic would have you believe), very active and has already peed on her carpet once and even threw up in the car on the way to her house. Woo hoo! Ya’ll are cracking me up, voting for Chocolate and Poptart. According my mother in law, she is NOT a Chocolate. Maybe on the Poptart. She seemed to think Cora would be a good name. So there you have it. It looks like we’ll have a new puppy come Saturday. *gulp* Hold me.

I voted for Poptart! Of course - we have very weird animal names:
Bambi (cat)
Sunflower (cat)
Cisco (dog)
Lil’Girl (dog)
Sweetie (dog)

I just got a new puppy myself! They are a lot of work, but a lot of fun as well. She came from the vet with a name, but I decided it just didn’t fit her so gave her a different name once I observed her for a couple of days. You can see pics of her at my blog.
Good luck with your new pup!

No matter what you name the dog..it is too cute! That face! I think that Harry having a dog will/ or might help him with emotional issues that he sometimes has. DOGS ROCK!

I voted for “Chunk” - one to give support to Harry and two, because I liked the irony of the name.
Congrats on the new family member!
