All Work and No Play / Name the Puppy


Monday was a very important day for me. My doctor put me on disability for the rest of the calendar year, but stipulated that I can work 1 - 2 days per week if I'm feeling well. I was able to work about a 1/2 day Monday before getting tired and needing to go home. I'm back at work again today for another 1/2 day. My plan is to work most Mondays and Tuesdays (hopefully full days). The rest of the days will be sick and disability days.

Also, after a nice long after-work nap, we drove down to San Diego to visit a puppy who needed adopting. We'll be bringing him home about a week and half from now. He currently has giardia and we're waiting for his anti-biotics to work their magic. He has a wonderful personality and we're looking forward to seeing him play with Cleo. If anyone can think of a great name for this little guy, we would appreciate your ideas. He's a pure bred Boston Terrier.

How about Carl Jr.? Sounds good to me...... Tesa & Pokey want to meet him soon too. They like little furry things that squeek when you play with them.

We are very happy you are back to work, even just a few hours a week. We know that you are passionate about your work. The puppy is so cute, just a little ball of love and joy. Don't ask me why but the name "Sam" came to my mind as soon as I saw his picture. He is just adorable. but I will bet Mama Robyn and Miss Erica will be the ones to actually name the little guy. There is nothing sweeter than a new little puppy. Have fun potty training. Can't wait to see him. LOve Aunt Sue and Uncle Frank

Should I lightly salt and pepper him before Tesa and Pokey play with him? He'll taste much better that way.

I think that he looks like a Barney...

Dad said, how about Buddha or Panda?
Cassie will like to have someone her size to talk to.

You know I said Sam but I really do like Barney as well, so a second vote for Barney. Can't wait to see him whoever he is.

Since he has giardia, why not name him Monty? (Good for both Monty Python and Montezuma's Revenge.)

Mrs. Van's kids have suggested "Popeye" since his eyes do bug out quite a bit. Ha ha.
