Four-legged family naming

So, we've added a new member to our little, happy clan. My dad gave the boys an early birthday gift when we were in Oklahoma a couple of weeks ago. We are now the proud owners of a 3 month old Boxer pup. She's quite a handful, but is super sweet. It took us awhile to find the perfect name for our four legged family member. Most of you know that we already have two cats: Molly Rainbow and Oliver Whiskers. Molly and Oliver were named for Thomas the Tank Engine characters, so we felt it was only right that the puppy should also have a "Thomas" name. Hence: Rosie.Of course, then we had to come up with the perfect middle name for Rosie. With Molly, Zachary gave her the middle name of Rainbow "because she's a girl and girls love rainbows." (He was 6 years old at that time.) For Oliver, Alec gave him the middle name of Whiskers because when we brought him home his face was tiny but his whiskers were all over the place. For Rosie, Zachary really wanted a name from Harry Potter to serve as the middle name. Hence: Lovegood, for the character of Luna Lovegood (whom we all love!).
So, we have our own sweet Rosie Lovegood as part of the Bishop family. Mike said her name sounded a bit like a stripper's, but Rosie quickly made Mike fall in love with her.

Here she is in all of her cute glory. What a sweet addition to our family.

Good F words

Hey! Not all F words are bad. The best words in the world are family, fun, food, and fabulous! I'm challenging myself to expand my own appreciation of the fabulous F words out there. I'm starting a list of words that I'll eventually write about. Let me know if you think of another fun one.



Family ~ Father ~ Fast ~ Fanatic ~ Fanciest ~ Festive ~ Fanciful ~ Freedom ~ Friday ~ Flower ~ Flagrant ~ Fixable ~ Forceful ~ Forbidden ~ Foray ~ Foppish ~ Fledgling ~ Frappacino ... hmmm... maybe ?
