Please Meet...

Ivy! (As in "Holly and Ivy")

Yep! That's her name and we're sticking to it. We must have changed our "favorite" name a million times and then when we met her most of them didn't "fit" because she is an extremely docile little girl--not the typical rambuctious dashund we're so used to!

Those of you who mention "dog therapy" and such--you were so right. Ivy will keep me busy with a sort of baby-like nurturing while we wait for Bright to come home. =-)

Thanks for all of the name ideas and votes. Such a fun diversion!

Love,
Anita
P.S. I know. I've GOT to get the tree done!
