Aww Look at the Puppy


The folks went out looking for new furniture and came back with a dog. I don't quite get it either, but it's here and it looks like we're keeping it. We haven't come up with a name yet, I'm pushing for Batman (or the more appropriate Batgirl, since she's a female). The girls have been pushing for Scout, because they just happened to watch "To Kill a Mockingbird" last night.
If anybody has a good name for her post it in a comment and you'll be given the satisfaction in knowing that you prevented this dog from having a really bad name. Posted by Hello

UPDATE:
If anyone knows how to keep a puppy quiet through the night the information would be greatly appreciated.

She has the cutest markings! I heard via Claire via Jim about the new arrival.
I googled pet names and found bowwow.com. They have naming tips- you shouldn't name a dog something similar to a command because the dog can't distinguish the sounds. Scout may sound more like a command than a name to our low language skills friends. I mean - dogs can't even use sign language.
Good luck with the nighttime thing. There are a million suggestions- but usually the only one that works is time; the puppy gets older in a few months.

actually dan, i think the naming is more up to my mom. the girls, as i predicted, don't seem to take care of the dog that much. luckily my mom loves that dog. i guess instead of writing a long comment i should just post something.
