And baby makes three! (The Lott)
This morning Heather and I went to the breeder's home again to visit the puppy a second time. It was a much calmer scene as all of the other dogs were down in the rumpus room. I only had to worry about steering clear of the one 4-legged dust bunny today. Heather loaded us both up on treats which really distracted me from the fact that I was hanging out pretty close to the little ankle biter. And, guess what? Nothing bad happened. The puppy didn't get up in my face once, although she did check me out from a distance. Mainly she had fun grubbing for food and hanging out with Heather and Susan, her first human Mom.
They gave her the puppy aptitutude test again and she was quite a bit more energetic, inquisitive, and confident than yesterday. Later, the puppy chased Heather around the front yard as well as she could on those little legs. She even toted around a pine comb that was probably three times the size of her head. All told, she's far calmer and less rambunctions than her big beefy brothers who are double her size. Thank goodness. I think she'll make a good buddy once we both get to know each other so I told Heather it was ok to get her. We'll go pick her up next Saturday. Let the procuring or borrowing of extra small crates (one for home, one for the office, and one for the car) and the collecting of silly little toys and miniature sweaters begin!
She's pretty cute, almost as cute as I was at her age.
Here she is biting her sister's tail. She better not try that with me or I'll have to give her the what for. Susan thinks that one stern talking to from me is all she'll need to get back in line. No worries there. I'm good at stern.
The big decision has been made, but now we have an even bigger decision to make. The puppy needs a name. This is where you come in. Ideally a name well suited for her, that sounds good paired with Miss Lottie, and to which you can add the "eee" sound to the end if you feel so inclined (as Heather tends to do).
If you have any suggestions, please leave a COMMENT. If you like what someone else has suggested, let us know that too. May the best name win!

congrats heather! she looks like a sophie to me.
Brenda votes for Mimi.
"The Little Nugget" as in "Miss Lottie and the Little Nugget" That's my vote, and yes you're crazy and Lottie will hate you...
Mini Me?
Name suggestion: Brillo (or Phoebe)
my goodness! congratulations on the new wee one! (can we come visit soon?)
At the risk of you stealing the name I plan to give a future puppy of mine (won’t be for some time now anyway), I’ve always liked the name Loki. Loki was the Norse god of mischief, which I think suits any puppy. Loki was a boy, however, so I don’t know if that factors into your decision-making process. It does end in a eee sound, so that’s a plus.
Norse God of Mischief, that's good Eric! I do wonder about tripping over "Lottie and Loki" though. Too bad, b/c that really is a good dog name.
The Little Nugget is really growing on me, but keep those ideas coming, folks. It's way too early to call this race.
I like Sophie.
But here are some other suggestions:
Callie
Izzy
(if they ^ weren't characters on Gray's Anatomy)
Maddy
Sammy
Spanky
Bonnie
Casey
Annie
Hank
Euvegeniah-ee
my old lady names haven't changed since we named THE LOTT!
Here I go, again..
LOUISE
RUTHIE
DOTTIE
SHUG (sounds like the sug in sugar!)
MOLLY
Keeping in mind that Miss can and should be added before each of these when trying them out!
I have a hunch that Miss Lottie is NOT at all excited about this proposition and it is all her Mum's idea! She will certainly be in a state of shock at the audacity of such an action when you ALL arrive home together! hee. heee....
Would Louise be shortened to Wheezy, like Miss Wheezy? If so, I like it.
Re: old-lady names for dogs, I've always liked
SADIE
MILDRED (MILLY)
Wheezy, like on The Jeffersons? Too funny. Moving on up!
