Of Ellison:

"Thou shalt take thy garbage out from thy dwelling-place when the midden-heap becometh full, and deposit it in the Great Big Rolly Thing By The Driveway. Do this, lest thy habitation become stinky: I am the Lawd.

"On the second day and on the fifth day, thou shalt roll the Great Big Rolly Thing to the boundary of thy driveway, even unto the edge of thy driveway, that the Garbage Men may come to remove it from thy dwelling-place.

"And on the first of the month, thou shalt send thy Check-Offering unto the Garbage-Men, that they may continue to do their service, and the Crap in thy Dwelling-Place shall not become as numerous as the stars in the sky. It shall be a commandment unto you from generation to generation."

Read the rest of Ellison's thoughts on modern life and it's reliance on waste removal.

One of the CaltechMom's friend's dogs recently had puppies, and as we've been thinking long and hard about getting a little sibling for the Princess, she offered us one, and we accepted!

The new puppy is a little black standard smooth-coated Dachshund, and CaltechMom will pick her up tomorrow.

The only problem is that we won't get to meet her until after Mom has had her for a couple of weeks.  And she needs a name before then!.

This is where you all come in.  We're having a hard time giving Puppy-girl a name!

We'd prefer a girly name, two syllables, since that's easiest for the dog to learn, and something suitable to a little black doxie.

Also, it can't rhyme with "Molly" or "Dolly" because the Princess' name already does.

Have at it folks.  There may be a prize for the person suggesting the eventual name!

No Dog. She called my mom tonight and said her brother took my dog for himself. The rotten bastard.

1 Oh my. I had my boy about a month before I settled on his name, it took that long to get to know him well enough to name him. Of course, he has his official name on his papers, but I have never called him by that name and I refuse to tell anyone what it is, its too embarassing. Pictures! Pictures would help.

2 I'm so jealous! I had dachshunds when I was growing up and I love them. I like the standard size - the miniatures are just too nervous. Girl names for a doxie - Gretchen (I had a red long-haired doxie named Gretchen) - Heidi - Hilda - Hannah - Irmgard - Ingrid - Elke. I think of those, I like Hannah the best.

4 Raven - because she's black (and it would start a cool new tradition of naming our pets/children for one another). Vesta - your home already has a princess, how about adding a goddess (Roman goddess of the home). Or I like Beth's suggestion of Hannah.

6 YAY a Dachshund baby!! Congratulations!! I remember when little Button fit in the palm of my hand, tail and all... I knew a couple of cool dachshunds when I was young named Schotzy and Candy. I would never have named a dog 'candy' but it really fit this girl. I do love Heidi for a dachshund, of course...
