So tonight we went to look at some labrador puppies, and it looks like we'll be getting one of the females. There are nine puppies total, 6 females and 3 males, all of them light yellow (my dad's favorite lab color). They're all very good looking and friendly with very nice parents, so I think any of them will make a good pet. Right now they're four weeks old, so we'll go get one at about 8 weeks. We're third on the list for females, so we'll choose one of them from the four females left after the first two people pick theirs.

I kind of have mixed feelings about the whole thing. I still miss Sierra terribly, and I don't know how ready I am for a new dog. Puppies are certainly cute and sweet and fun, but they also require an enormous amount of work and attention and training. Most of that will be left up to me since I'll be at home a lot due to my night classes, plus I'm the resident "animal expert" and trainer.

Anyway...we're trying to come up with appropriate names for a yellow female lab. Two that I like a lot so far are Willow and Summer. Feel free to leave suggestions :)

Heh, I automatically pictured a black lab. But I like both Willow and Summer. You guys don't want to keep your mountain range theme? Name her Pyrany or Ozark?

As the user before mentioned the "mountain range" theme... You could name the new lab "Nevada".

So it would be like "Sierra Nevada" (and Nevada would be the dog after Sierra).

Did that make any sense? =/

I like Summer

But then, all names are good names.

We need to get together sometime or other. I've been so lazy about calling you!
