We’re about to get a puppy–I am so excited!
She is a Brittany.
We’ve been working hard on dog names.
After many suggestions–Molly, Meg, Pippi,Astred, Minnie (for Minerva), a hundred variations on the theme of her being a caramel color–Clare shouts out, “Nipples!”
Ron and I laughed so hard that we cried.  We kept laughing all day–can you imagine petting someone’s dog, asking her name, and being told, “Nipples,”??  I can roll with a lot.  But I think I would be unable to keep composure with that one.

(We asked Clare why that name, and she said because she was thinking how puppies nip at you.  Very intriguing!)
