      A done deal and a birthday present

      Well, I did ask for help ...
      Of course, my comments were not working (but are now "all better" thanks to the installation of Haloscan comments by my wonderful-techy step-daughter), so those of you who may have tried to stop us were unable due to the non-working comments, and now, well, now it is as they say "Water Under the Bridge" (or "puddles on the kitchen floor")
      And anyway, it was Birding Dad's birthday and he really wanted that puppy ...
      So here he is ...
      Michael and the Pup.jpg
      He's 8 weeks, and I swear he has grown since yesterday .. It seems that for now he will have to be called "He who must not be named", at least until we figure out agree on a name.
      Someone is smitten...

      and has suggested names such as:

      Riggins (for Tim Riggins on Friday Night Lights)
      Albus (Dumbledore)

      We were thinking:
      Mr Bo Jangles
      Joshua (Josh)
      Trooper


      The family was here today for the Birthday Parth and they have suggested:
      Finnigen
      Rocky

      ... anyone got any other ideas?
      He is full of trouble, not afraid of anything, bound to be at least 100 lbs, and when he's tired, he drops and sleeps so soundly nothing wakes him. There must be a perfect name out there for this guy!

      To be outspoken when truth is under attack, when charity is being bruised, or when important issues of life are at stake is a good and courageous thing. To be outspoken when nothing is at stake except the feelings of someone else is a small and contemptible thing. ~ Lawrence G. Lovasik (The Hidden Power of Kindness)
