Mondays!
First, Mom's had a setback. My father called last night to say she'd developed a fever on Sunday, and couldn't keep any food down. The nursing home sent her to the hospital for observation. They are going to keep her, I just found out. She's distraught, because she was looking forward to going home.
Second . . .
Okay, those of you that had bets that we'd get a dog after Rachel spent a day here with Oscar (her little shitz whatever) may have won your bet. Over the weekend I was looking at a puppy rescue site and found Dappler (rotten name, we'll have to change that). Right now he's being treated for a skin condition, but should be available to us in early November. Diana appears reluctantly to have agreed to the new addition.
Idn't he cute?
So we hate the name, and we are accepting alternatives for this Fox Terrier. Suggestions so far are; Muldar, Hobbes, Fox, and "Did Groo the Wanderer have any sidekicks?" (I’m not fond of Rufferto, but it’s a maybe.) So let us know what you think, we have time . . .

Actually, it was Grue, not Groo. As in... The Grue.
Actually, in as much as the comment was made to me while the discussing possible names, Groo the Wander would be the correct reference.
If referring to the appellation bestowed upon the little black dog that lived with us, I assume you are correct about the source of the name, though we always spelled it Gru on her medical records. Additionally, she bore no resemblance to The Grue, as she was very definitely not an evil presence lurking in underground caves. But even if that is all so, the search for a name referenced Groo, not THE GRUE.
Ah, yes...Rufferto. I pitched that name to katie as a possible name for a "future-dog", and sadly it did not seem to win her over. Also from Groo the Wanderer, the character Sage had a cute little dog named "Mulch." I'll keep working on a suggestion...
Interesting . . . I just found out Zorro is Spanish for fox. Hmmmmmmm
zorro?! LAME!
Yes, but I was the one who originally assigned the name to the little black dog, and I assure you that it was meant to be spelled Grue, and was, indeed named after The Grue.
Of course, this name must have mutated over the years into Gru, much like the dog itself mutated, from moth to sea lion to dog, from evil presence to kind and happy creature.
