You know what day it is.

Miss Ista is sitting on my lap, wrapped in her binky. She was a little carsick on the drive home, but she's otherwise doing well, and so are the rest of us about her (though we're not the healthiest lot in the world right now: timprov is having one of his bad days, and I seem to have caught markgritter's cold -- but in terms of having the puppy, we're dandy).

markgritter took some pictures, but I'm not going to get them up yet tonight. Still, take my word for it: I have a puppy. Right here. Right now.

Cool.

Puppy! Yay!

Still delighted over the name, too.

She's already starting to answer to it. When she started to chew my mom's sandal, I said, "Ista, no!" and she immediately dropped it. Of course I praised her to the high heavens. Because she is a good girl.

What I don't know is the rest of her name. She has an AKC registry to send in, so she needs a middle name of some sort. So far timprov's suggestions are just Ista de Chalion and Ista Good Dog (because she is da good dog), but I'm thinking something else. I'm afraid it may turn out to be some hippie geeky name, but at least I'll get that sort of thing out of my system with the dog and not visit it on the human babies.

Wasn't there a name markgritter was advocating for a human baby? You could get *that* one out of the way on Ista.

Pion? Yes, Pion did enter the discussion last night.

"Ista Pion" sounds like a baking question to me. Not that it would disqualify it as a name. I'm quite fond of pie.

It sounds like a baking question from a toddler, no less. Not that I'm unfond of toddlers, either.
