Our new doggie…

Our New Dog

As mentioned in a previous post, we’ve been in the process of looking for a dog. It’s been a little difficult, but today that search came to an end. :)

This little girl is the newest member of our family. She’s a one and a half year old Australian Shepherd / hound mix. At least, that’s what the nice folks down at the San Francisco SPCA think.

She doesn’t have a name yet, so if anyone has any suggestions…

UPDATE: There’s another image of her on my photoblog. I’m sure more will be coming.

UPDATE #2 (7.05.06): We finaly picked a name, it’s Maggie Moo. I personally voted for Itchy McMoo, but Anne Marie didn’t go for it. So far she’s turmed out to be a really wonderful dog.

    Wow, she looks like quite a nice and lively dog, very cute too. I hope it all works out well with you and your new kid!

    i think you should pick from aussie cities and other things australian. how about: “sheila”?
    “alice springs”? “sydney”? “perth”? “fremantle” (or “free-o”, as they call it)? “matilda” (as in waltzing, which could be shortened to matty)? “uluru”? “kakadu”? “kookaburra”?

    woof!

  7. Timmargh Says:

    How cute is she?!?

    After reading Dave’s comment I’m inclined to agree that “Alice” seems like a nice name for her.

  8. Ripsy Says:

    mocha.

  9. Simon Says:

    She is cute! And she looks like she’s going to be very lively too! I’m jealous - I want a dog!

    I would name her Didg short for didgeridoo which is the australian musical instrument which women are not allowed to even touch let alone play.
