:D I think Ditto's kind of a cute name. If we could do it fresh, I'd actually steal Zoë from your other dog—I've always loved that name.
Zoe was actually named Zora when we adopted her. Sometimes rescue dogs do better when you change their name. And you aren't stealing. If you decided to call her Princess Zoe Sparkles, then you would be stealing.
That … that … that ain't likely to happen. No, pretty sure that ain't happening.
Also, everyone except Jenny should click on this Onion story. (Don't say I didn't warn you, J.)
I actually thought that was pretty funny.
And don't knock Princess Zoe Sparkles. She is the basis of my future children's book that is going to make me millions. She is a real-life princess from the magical land of Hungaria who fought the evil queen Pupmillia (get it?). Wow...that was probably more revealing than anything Suzanne has posted.
Uh...
Shouldn't you be celebrating Yom Ha-Kahless?

Update: me and the missuz are in love. We met the dog we've applied to adopt and she is so beautiful and sweet. Definitely shy in new situations, but she soon started cuddling up to us. For about five minutes, neither she nor Pagan were aware of each other's presence, and Ditto didn't really do anything until Pagan had enough of the intruder and ran upstairs. At that point Ditto became very curious, but didn't follow her up. We don't think there'll be any serious problems between the two. It's weird to say, but I was extremely nervous about this visit out of fear that she wouldn't like me, yet being accepted by her was complete validation for me. If she's not a purebred by official standards, any other breeds in there are slight and buried by her pointer traits. Given that she's predominantly white and freckled (as opposed to brown with white freckles), it seems she's actually an English Pointer, not a German Pointer. Which is good, because I'd hate to find out that she's Bavarian.

Awesome -- I'm so glad to hear that Ditto is working out! I think that her not being purebred is a good thing -- they tend to be healthier and less psychotic. Our purebred rescue is dumb as a post and absolutely nuts (I love her anyway) and our mutt is perfect.

Yeah, I've never been keen on purebreds because they seem more susceptible to problems, either in personality or health. Ditto (soon to be renamed Zoe) really seems all pointer in appearance, however. Her shyness may well be the result of being abandoned when she was a puppy. Her foster owner says that she's come a long way in only two months, but she'll likely always be on the quiet side (she didn't make a single sound in the ninety minutes she was here) and was quick to return to the humans when she went to explore the house. She's also kind of klutzy and not used to hardwood floors. She may well be the perfect dog for us. I'm verging on giddy.

I think she's more of a Chairs Missing kinda dog than a Pink Flag one.

You're going to make me figure out which Wire album she is? Because once I get to know her better, I will. Having placed the idea in my brain, I must. C'mon "Snakedrill" …
