As I was attending intern orientation, Melro beat me to the punch of announcing the good news: we got the doggie! Yay.
Here's the scoop. She's a very pretty mutt, with definite yellow lab blood, and possible collie or terrier or shepherd mix. Yeah. Strangely enough, she has the same coloring as The Hamster (r.i.p.), which is a yellow gold tan with white markings -- her face and belly is mostly white, the body and ears tan. Her hair is medium length and very soft. She has nice big brown eyes and pinkish nose. She only come up to our knees or so in height, but she had the body and shape of a big dog -- she also acts like a companion dog, trotting around our legs and not attempting to jump in our laps. So far I have not heard her bark, though MelRo said she did some soft barking in her sleep last night, which means she's REAMARKABLY quiet -- no barking at the pound, none in the car, none in the house, none when we put her in the kennel to sleep (though she whined a little). She loves to chase and fetch, but doesn't know how to sit. She loves people a lot, which is somewhat problematic on the whole "protection" front but to be real, I don't want my dog hating my friends. She's not the brightest dog, but she seems to be fairly well-trained and trainable. She understand "no" pretty well. She's one-year old and mostly full-grown (40 pounds) but still has some puppy-elements to her.
Since the polaroid camera got stolen, we don't have pics of her yet. However, based on the information given above, please help us choose a name for our new baby.
[Poll #37884]
There will be runoff later, perhaps. Though the runoff might include new names I've come across since making this list. (By the way, "Kui-san" is a shortened version of what the kitchen announcer says during Iron Chef.).
