And the Shepherd makes three!

Chris is an enigma. No really, he is. We've been talking about getting another German Shepherd for a long time. We even found one last week for a really good price. You know me, I said 'just go look at him, c'mon, jump babe, take a chance!' And knowing Chris, he said,'it's not the right time, it'll be a pain, I don't know if I really want to go through all that puppy stuff again so soon....' the list of negatives and logic went on and on. Case closed. So! Yesterday after parent teacher conferences (which were fab, thank you) he informs me he has to go back to work for a little bit, and would Aryn like to come with him? (he takes the kids in with him from time to time, so this is not out of the ordinary) Off they go. He calls a few hours later, asking what time we're eating, I tell him I'm just waiting for him. (The burnt pork chops were already to gobble, but that's a whole other story) He says he'll just be about 20 more minutes. Great. I play a little more on the Wii, finish the game, finish up dinner preparations, and I'm standing in the kitchen when he walks in the garage door. With a puppy in his arms. I scream, Riley screams, the dog nearly wets himself, and we have our new Shepherd.

Now we just have to name him. My favorites are Duke and Koz(short for Kozmo). But, Chris, being Chris, is crumbling under the pressure of having to pick a name. I'm having flashbacks of him trying to decide on names for Josh and Sasha! This is always so hard for him, it kills me! Daisee and Tuffy had names instantly; as did Riley and Aryn. Chris likes Grizz, but when we call him that, it sounds so much like Chris. Chris is already very well trained, no need to do it twice!

So, here's my challenge to you; leave me your name suggestions. See if you can't come up with the perfect name for our newest addition. Who, by the way, is way to cute. I mean, just look at him!

The kids love him already, Daisee is tickled to have a new friend, and Tuffy, our resident senior citizen, well, I'm pretty sure he shook his head and rolled his eyes before he walked upstairs. (but I'll also swear Smokey, our first Shepherd, could talk.) Now, on to potty training.

Which will be easier than with Daisee, the worlds most stubborn dog, because Shepherds are smart, really smart. Already he's picking up on things. Did I mention we love German Shepherds?

Because nothing says, 'I don't want to buy your stuff Mr. Door to Door salesman' like a full grown German Shepherd. We can't wait for your name suggestion, don't be shy, name drop like crazy!
