We brought the new puppy home today, a day earlier than expected, as the shelter decided she is coming down with kennel cough which nixed her scheduled spay. Her tummy is a little unsettled, but otherwise she seems fine, and she's very keen on spreading her disease through tongue-to-anything contact.
She was immediately interested in some small wubbies, and even slightly defensive of them when 'Dolon stuck his nose in.
She was even more enamored of a few mostly chewed bones 'Dolon had left lying around. Of course, this also suddenly fixated 'Dolon on his discarded bones. Luckily there were enough to go around.
'Dolon got really excited and wanted to play with her so badly, eventually spiraling into a barking frenzy. The puppy just retreated to my lap.
She has shown only a slight interest in the cats thus far, and so remains unscarred for the moment.
Two hours of exploring, licking, and chewing and she's finally out long enough for me to sit down at the computer. It's going to be a long night...Current front-runners in the name department:
- Líle. Pros: Comes with a theme song (video warning) and is only two syllables. Con: People will think we named her after Dr. Who.
- Viola. Pros: Nice versatile one-syllable nickname Vee, and we can also call her voilà if we think we're being cute. Con: Twelfth Night is not one of Shakespeare's better efforts.

And what's so wrong about choosing a pet's name from Dr. Who? We named our cat Leela after the great huntress herself!
