Colin,

What a charming puppy. Your children must be thrilled.

How about "Monarch" for a name?

Cheers

OK.OK. Here we go. Couldn't you name a SPRINGER "Boing"? Or knowing you as I do how about "Uisge"? But really, a very cute pup and I'm sure she'll be well loved.

Matriarch, not Monarch.

Unless I am mistaken about the dog being a little girl.

I believe Monarch refers to a sole ruler, gender is not specified.

By the by, Matriarch is a opposite of Patriarch, not Monarch.

Webster's lesson of the Day!

so far the kids are split between Piper and Nessie. We pick her up on Saturday and want to see some personallity before settling on a name.

I picked the pup on last Saturday and we have spent the last few days trying to fit into each other's schedules and routines. She is not a big fan of the car rides, but loves coming to work with me. She's a very affectionate and loyal little girl, and she is very smart. No #1 accidents in the house as she is good about going to the door and waiting for a walk. Not bad for a 2 month old pooch.

That's the dog, now where is that blasted kilt I am expecting

By the way, the dog's name is Piper or Pyper (spelling not yet decided)

I think Ailsa would be a lovely name for a young pup like that.
Reminds me of my dog Pip, as seen below. (Collie/Spaniel cross.)
Get yourself ready for some crazy energy...
