I am loving the Homer pics! Enjoy the puppy days, they just go too fast! But some days not fast enough! :-)

Happy Birthday Homer!

All the puppies are adorable. The Corgi is beautiful (I have one so I can be a little biased :)

We just got a Pembroke corgi – he’s 4 months old. His name is Fraser (hmmm…) He is absolutely adorable; just can’t seem to get the hang of housetraining. But wouldnt’ trade him for the world. He’s VERY smart. In fact, I believe a corgi would make a great 2nd dog for you and Homer.

They are adorable! I am a long time reader of yours in general, but a new reader of this blog in particular.

And now that I know you are a dog lover (one can glean many things about you from your books, but this was something I had not), I feel compelled to share with you something you may or may not feel flattered to hear.

We (my parents and I – my mother also being a huge fan of yours) are the proud owners of 3 rambunctious Brittanys, and when we acquired our third (a puppy we kept from our first litter, courtesy of the other two) a little less than 2 years ago, we were stumped as to names.

Well, while sitting in a useless literature class on Christian mythology (which could have been so interesting, but alas, was not), I began ruminating on possibilities. We like naming our pets after literary characters (Mama dog is Lizzy, after Elizabeth Bennett, and Papa dog just barely escaped being called Rhett…my father put his foot down and gave him the more masculine name of Hunter), so I began thinking…

Our puppy was smart. Very smart. So smart, in fact, that no matter how many obstructions we put up, no matter how high the fence, she managed to climb it. That’s right, climb it. A 6 week old puppy managed to climb a 5-foot high play pen.

She was also very tall…taller than all but one of her littermates, who was male and just barely surpassed her (In fact, now, at the age of 2, she’s taller than both her parents).

And redheaded.

You see where I’m going, right?

Well, given her propensity for causing general chaos, my brain clicked onto a phrase from Voyager (or Drums of Autumn)…”a great disturbance.”

So we named her Bree.

And I can’t think of a name that would have fit her better.

As a past pug owner I can attest to how extremely sociable they are (am still trying to convince hubby our house needs a pug!)Thanx for sharing your precious pics ( I miss being a owned by a dog! LOL)

And good for you for being the “alpha”… I guess we’ll never see you on the Dog Whisperer. *g*

Thanks for showing us.
