Tessa chose her own name. She came with the name Grace, actually, which did not fit her at all (she's terribly clumsy!), and she didn't really acknowledge it. But shortly after bringing her home, we were reminiscing about a border collie we'd met in Scotland named Tessa, and every time we said that name, "Grace" perked up. So I asked her if she wanted to be called Tessa instead of Grace, and she wagged her tail and whined! So, Tessa it was from that that day on. <br /><br />How about Sophie or Sophia? I love that it means "wisdom," and everyone - human and non-human - that I've ever known with that name has been delightful. Your girl has a very "Sophie" face, I think!Laloofahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07256023593175821427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279822094292237889.post-69835640902596839842012-11-21T18:10:40.149-08:002012-11-21T18:10:40.149-08:00All good choices.

She'...Well, okay... here are a few ideas, then!<br /><br />She's silent and gray, like the fog, but that doesn't make for a good name. So how about Cloud or Misty? Or you could name her Sylvia (like I named my silver bike!) :-)<br /><br />She looks, to me, like a Chloe or a Lacey. One of our new neighbors has two daughters named Belle and Macy - we love those names, but BW said they sound like they should be Border Collies! LOL Anyway, they'd make nice names for your girl, too. Something old fashioned and dignified. But cute, too! :-)Laloofahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07256023593175821427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279822094292237889.post-91157112756140746802012-11-21T16:26:55.815-08:002012-11-21T16:26:55.815-08:00It was kind of sudden.

There was something about her eyes that spoke to me. And there were no restrictions against young children in her profile. <br /><br />I'd still be interested in hearing names.

I can't wander away from your blog for a week only to discover that you shared such an exciting development as this?! :-) Congratulations, that's really wonderful and she's so beautiful! Hooray you guys for saving her life, and giving her a perfect home. This post just made my Thanksgiving - this is what it's all about.<br /><br />I saw in your newest post that you've pretty much settled on Callie, so I won't bother suggesting any. You'd know best anyway what her name should be. Has she said anything yet? Probably too busy taking it all in and pinching herself!! :-)Laloofahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07256023593175821427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279822094292237889.post-37372147388154869342012-11-21T09:44:26.476-08:002012-11-21T09:44:26.476-08:00Interesting that you say that because Grace was th...Interesting that you say that because Grace was the name we decided we liked along with Callie.

Callie means "beautiful" and seems a fitting name. And I don't know anyone personally who has that name.<br /><br />I've been hearing a lot about dogs not baking for a long time. Last night I showed her a youtube video of a dog barking and she seemed really fascinated, but she came from a foster home with lots of dogs so I guess she's heard plenty of barking. Just doesn't feel like it right now. That's OK. I just want her to be able to bark if she ever wants to.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16146578985330272891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279822094292237889.post-18605617777263677682012-11-19T10:16:13.746-08:002012-11-19T10:16:13.746-08:00She's a sweetie, all right.
