And it was fun, right up until Luke called her Clara. That is not a hip and cool name, partly because of the very old fashioned girl in Heidi and partly because of my dear Aunt Clara. Aunt Clara is a trip, and the sender of the annual August Christmas card. Plus, who names a dog after a family member? I generally don't get all freaky on the kids, but on this point I correct Luke every time he slips up. Dear Aunt Clara, I really didn't name a dog after you. Even if you are a dog lover, it's not always perceived as a compliment. We're working on saying her name correctly all the time. You're welcome.

LOL! I had a kitten that we named 'Diana' not after my mother, but for the Goddess of the Hunt, because she was a born hunter, from birth it seemed, she pounced on every thing that moved. My mother's name is Diana, and she was *livid.* She made such a fuss about that cat's name, that a few weeks later when we realized that 'she' was a 'he' we started calling him by my father's first name...because we're so very PC.
What a sweetie pie! I am sure that your wonderful aunt wouldn't mind sharing her name!
Christmas cards in August? That lady is right up my alley. ;-)
And I love the name for your newest family member!
What a sweet puppy!
