We found girl-dog today. It was so hard to choose among all the
dogs at the shelter, but I had a thin-slice moment with her. She
was in a kennel with a 14 week-old pup, who was harassing her,
and then snapping and snarling at her when she walked near his
food dish. (Bratty, but a spunky little devil, too - he was
about 1/3 her size.) Girl-dog didn't seem perturbed; she
play-bowed, and then she gently placed her paw on his back,
trying again to entice him to play. He wanted to continue
barking and snarling over the food, so she just turned around,
saw us at the gate, and walked over to offer a sniff and a few
finger kissies. She had me with that gently-placed paw.

She's a Lab mix, about 40 lb, short hair, cream with a dark
snout, about 1 year old. Seems very calm and gentle, likes
having her tummy scritched, knows how to fetch and lean into a
leg for a pet. The folks at the shelter know nothing about her;
she was picked up running loose and held for 2 weeks, but no one
claimed her, so she became available last Sunday.

She will be spayed Friday morning, and we will pick her up Friday
afternoon. One dog-sized hole in our home will soon be filled :-D .

Now, for a name... Suggestions?

Marlo or Marla. Female variations on Marley. I saw the movie a few weeks
ago. The book was better.

Please post pictures! Easier to name by seeing the dog. Sounds like a great
pooch.

Atty says YAY! A yellow labby girl! Good choice!
No suggestions on names, just sharing our approval. We want pictures,
please.

Fantastic news! She sounds like quite a find. I like
leaners - that's one of the things that made Cinder stand
out.

In those rare occasions I've gotten dogs without names (or
with names that need to have something done about) I've
waited to get to know the dog. It's been my experience that
it becomes obvious.

Yay!

I've never named a dog, so alas no. (They all came with perfectly good
names, and it didn't seem necessary to change them!)

Sounds like Espanola. The times I've been at Santa Fe they haven't
doubled up.

I half expected you to choose something smaller this go round, but once
a lab lover always a lab lover. Sounds calmer than our current lab
mixes. (Though we had two older and calmer lab crosses that came in
separately Friday and then got adopted together Monday.)

I suspect you don't have a hole big enough for a tripod malemute cross?

I'm one of the most unimaginative people on the planet, so no
suggestions. Just congratulations on your addition - I'm so glad that
hole will be filled. Well, partially.

I'm not good on giving or receiving names, but your new girl
sounds terrific.
