We chose...

FARGO! Well, we have now named him Emmett Doodle, simply known as Emmett. We are about 90% sure that's the name, but we have several other names we like...and we want to make sure Emmett sticks! My students voted for Paco (go figure), I thought about Diddle (short for Diddle Weege--my brother's nickname for me as a kid), and we have a few others that are backups just in case. We got him last night, and as soon as I saw him, I was in love. He didn't have too much fun in the car on the way home--apparently most puppies throw up in the car, and Emmett sure didn't want to disappoint. Needless to say, we made a stop at a nearby gas station to clean things up a bit. He has a really sweet disposition, and he is sleeping at my feet right now. That's not to say we haven't had "puppy" experiences...whimpering A LOT, a few bathroom whoopsies, and a little chewing. He's pretty good to stop chewing on anything you say not to, so hopefully that will pick up and he will remember to chew on his toys ALONE. He has also been successful at relieving himself outside several times! Ok, enough about our first almost 24 hours together. I guess Emmett will be showing up in a good number of posts from now on! Thanks for the help in choosing our sweet doodle!
