New Addition


She's the new addition to our household. She is nine weeks old and we take her home tomorrow night.

Hubby and I have always wanted a dog. Everytime we see one, the desire just grew stronger. After dogsitting Chloe, a friend's extremely adorable Shih Tzu a couple of times, we decided we could not hold it off any longer. We did our research and decided on the breed that we thought would suit our personalities best. She's a West Highland White Terrier - a handsome little breed when full-grown, and definitely adorable as a pup.

We're deciding on a name. Since she's a Scot by ethnicity, we thought we'd come up with a Scottish moniker - but we're still open to suggestions. Any ideas?

Umm...Braveheart? *lol*

How about Alba (Gaelic for Scotland)? Or even just Gael.

Or any name that begins with "Mac"...

Verrry cuuute!!! :D

How about Jinny ("white wave")? :D

Braveheart...LOL!

Alba's cute, kind of reminds me of Jessica Alba though. Heheh!

Jinny is nice, too! It really means white wave? That seems apt with her color and temperament. It ebbs and flows apparently.

M is leaning towards Katy, which is Celtic/Gaelic by origin and it means pure and virginal. Awww!!! lol I think it's too human a name. And what if a person named Katy came to visit us? :)

Aww...Nessie's a great idea! BUT - is in love with the name Katy for some reason. *sigh* I still think it's too human a name.
