Well, I think we've finally done it. We have named our puppy Georgie. She has been so difficult to name. Even the girls commented it's just hard to find the right word to describe her personality! She is sooo curious and into everything. She wants to explore, and smell and taste everything she sees! I could write a book about all the funny things she does everyday. For example she escaped from her tether today and I found her in my bedroom in the jelly bean bag. She had licked them all. Eeeew! Then during the kids easter egg hunt she wanted the eggs sooo badly. She would grab them in her mouth. Empty out the candy and lay down to chomp on the egg. She gathers the toys from the backyard and stores them under the deck. She went to her first soccer game yesterday. She is so vocal and kept griping at me for not letting her go where she wanted to go. Finally our friend's daughter ran around with her until (two hours later) she collapsed in a heap on the grass...she was sound asleep. Anyways I could go on and on.

She and Abby are finally getting along better. Diane brought Chasky over last week and Georgie wasn't nearly as submissive to him. She got right in his face and played with him. She was still cowering to Abby. I finally learned what you mean when you say Merlot rolls the dogs. I stood outside with Abby and Georgie a couple days ago and Abby acted like she wanted to play but she barked this deep, deep bark and would just go after Georgie, grabbing the scuff of her neck. Georgie would go down and then Abby would roll her with her nose, or Georgie would roll herself. They went on and on. Then eventually Georgie would bark back. And now, their play is totally different. Georgie will stay outside with Abby even if I'm not there. She wouldn't do that before, I had to be right next to her. It has been so interesting to watch. I guess they've established who is the boss and all is well. Abby seems very happy to have her to play with.

Anyways, so we've decided to call her Georgie, it's not too prissy, because she definitely isn't that. Also she reminds us of Curious George. She has her nose in everything! I am struggling with her registered name and wondered if you have any suggestions. I can't tell what flows or sounds silly. I know I'm probably worrying too much, but I want her name to be just right. Here are some thoughts I've had and would love your opinion or new ideas. I tried using Curious in the name because of Curious George, but it doesn't necessarily have to be that way.

Oh I wanted to tell you Georgie's is very bright. She is learning sit very easily. I ask her to sit every time she goes in or out and gets her leash on. Also, the big one is sitting to be let out of her pen. She starts jumping around and trying to push her way out the door, but she's learned she won't get out until she sits and waits. She'll even wait when the expen door is open until I tell her she can get out. She seems promising because she is so curious. I think she'll be good at whatever she does. It's exciting.
