Decision time folks! This seems to be the time that firm decisions need to be made, and fence sitters must leave their comfy perch on the post. Of course I am talking about the election. I am out of town on Election night, so Andrew and I voted last weekend. I felt relieved to not need to listen to any politically focused ads, talk radio or otherwise this week. I heard a clip of Jon Stewart making fun of the "Attack Ads" that have Canadians all spun up. Perspective tickles.
In other decision news, Andrew and I are going car shopping today! After a miserable winter that includes me sitting in the backseat (Miss Daisy style) while Andrew drops me off at work, (frozen front passenger door) and sitting in a stalled car for 40 minutes after a little puddle stopped the car in its track, we've decided *f*it! We work hard to afford shit like this, don't we? Here's hoping. Seems the weather doesn't want to cooperate though...10-15cm of the white stuff is floating by my window currently. Makes for realistic test drives, I suppose...if the Golf can get us there in the first place.
Carrying on the decision theme...we strolled purposefully into a paint store yesterday, firmly believing that we know what color we want to paint the walls in our living room...and left 90 minutes later with a book of wallpaper samples and the belief that maybe what we need is new carpet. Grooooaaaaan.
And finally - my weakness for chocolate and my insatiable belief that I am a dog person and will live an unfulfilled life until I have a puppy have collided and harmonized nicely ;-). We decided on a breed and found a local breeder that had a litter 3 days ago! Puppies will be ready when all the craziness around our schedules have finished, and the weather is slightly more hospitable for outdoor activities. We're (hoping) to get a chocolate labradoodle puppy in mid-March. WTF is a labradoodle, you wonder? Labrador Retriever an Standard Poodle mix. This breed works great for Andrew, since their coats are more hair-like than fur, so there's very little shedding. Next big decision is what to name him...! I am open to suggestions (except Harris, since we know who's getting that moniker).

What a cutie-patootie! I think his name should be Cocoa Belo ... it's gotta nice ring to it doesn't it?
Actually this is the dog that I wanted!!!

As for the chocolate lab I one of the names that we've been thinking of is Doctor Belo. Figure that if my brother in law can make it as a Dr so can a dog.
I also like pathagarus as a name.
Pathagarus... just wow. I can hear it now... Here Pathagarus, pathagarus, pathagarus... its just rolls off the tongue like fingers down a chalkboard. Just cause you're a geek doesn't mean the dog has to be one too. That's like naming your kid Richard Leslie, or Mike Hunt, you know it'll leave a scar.
As for Dr. Belo, go with that. Any dog has a better chance of becoming a doctor than you ever will so live vicariously where you can.
Call your new puppy Leroy. As in Bad Bad Leroy Brown, meanest pug in the whole damn town. =D
I personally like names that make people do double takes. Things like "Stir-fry", "Cat", "Dog" and "Mandrew". It always amuses my little mind when casual observers don't know if you're swearing at your dog or the spouse for crapping on the carpet.
