Daniel got a golden retriever pup (mix..but mostly golden) for his birthday. Her name is Lily....but our second choice was Honey and our third was Holly (short for Holland...Daniels middle name).

Congratulations on the new arrival!

She is lovely!
I'll ask Hannah to make a name suggestion tomorrow!

Awww she is so cute. I got really excited because I thought you were going to say Ben would have a playmate. Wink

Logan said you should call her Summer.

Congrats on your new fluffy family member.

LOL I really thought you were going to say you were pregnant!!

My daughter thinks she's really cute (desperate for a dog Rolling Eyes ) and suggested Sky, Tinkerbell and Scruffy Very Happy

How does Ben like his new playmate? Ethan likes looking at dogs from a distance.....but if they get too close he gets really upset!

He's not too bothered, he's not much of an animal person yet. Usually he'll pull his legs up and turn away from cats and dogs. This am he was braver and pulled at her beard! lol. I think the feeling is mutual though as she won't enter a room that Ben is in as he's too loud with all his sreaming and shouting. Laughing

It's so funny.......Ethan gets so excited seeing dogs in the park, on the TV and in his books!

My sister was dogsitting and when we went to visit Ethan just clung to me like crazy...and when I did manage to put him down the dog came over for a sniff and OMG I didn't think it was possible to bum shuffle so fast Laughing Laughing

Someone on facebook suggested "Duster" because she looks like a feathered one, so she's called Dusty.

Dusty.....great name for him!

I was thinking Patch, but his markings are more than a patch on his face!

She is gorgeous!!! I want to get Talitha a puppy and I was thinking of a snauzer/poodle cross. We already have two dogs so there is no hurry for us.
