Shhh! Don't Tell

If Aunt Jean finds out we are getting another puppy she will never speak to us again. She took in our dog Bella (who was a very naughty doggy indeed) and she still resides with her far far away. The word Springer in Spaniel should have been a red flag indicative of the nature of that dog breed. So we will have to keep our little Schnoodle a secret.

The choice was between this Schnoodle or a Yorkiepoo. I don't think a tiny Yorkiepoo would survive living here. An animal that could fit inside my purse would shorten its life span by tenfold with all these active kids. In my opinion, Yorkipoos are much cuter than Schnoodles, but I chose the practical pooch. The Schnoodle will have a chance since she is twice the size. She will most likely survive an accidental stepping on or door slam. Lol! I also chose this one because she reminds me of my dog Muffins I had when I was a little girl.

Can you help us name her? If you have a suggestion that is not named below, please make suggestions. This is the most exciting part! It's almost as fun as picking out baby names;-)

• Bootsy  - I know this is not very original, but she has four white paws and it is a darling name.

• Jubles - The kids love this name. I don't. It is short for Jubilee.

• Mocha

• Luxey or Lucia - We are picking our little furball up on St. Lucia's feast day. We had a cocker spaniel named Lucy before so the kids did not want to use the same name twice.

• Pucchini

• Bijou  - pronounced (bē'zhū'), definition: French for jewel. I think this is my favorite.

• Ebony

• Noodles

• Latte  - another one of our favorites, but it doesn't have a ring to it and it just might make me think of coffee day in and day out

• Kyrie  - I may need to name her this because I will be saying "Lord Have Mercy" all day in Latin. Lol!
