We’d been talking names for the pup and the Missus likes Butterscotch, Spice (so we’d have Ginger and Spice), Sophie and Daisy. I like Lucy or Sophie and a couple of others.

Here we go again. Not even a half a year after the passing of this years 2nd Annual Meet Your New Dog event and we have yet another petitioning for family membership. And very likely an American Pitt Bull Terrier…. She gets along just fine with the other dogs, even the cat didn’t kill her [...]
