She has a name!

And it is Izzy! Short for Isabelle, of course. We had to pick a name today so that we could bring her to the vet to get checked out. She checked out great, with two exceptions. The vet believes that she is a little older than we were told. Based on her size, he estimates that she is closer to 12 weeks than the 8 weeks we thought. She also tested positive for an intestinal parasite which is very common in puppies. No big deal. The vet gave us some medicine to give her daily for the next couple of weeks. She had her first dose tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Seriously.

She weighed in at 13 lbs and was adored by everyone at the vet clinic. It didn't hurt that we interrupted a nap to make our appointment. She was very docile.

THE HOUSE!

So a small, but important update about the house. We met with Patti Crum on Sunday (father's day). For those who don't know her, she is Mr. James' sister. If you don't know who Mr. James is, consider Patti to be Jenny's aunt. She is working (at no charge) as our interior designer. We discussed what we needed to in order to get things moving again. We can begin sheetrocking shortly. We have chosen interior and exterior colors for the house. I am excited. I hope to have the den done for football season.

Well I guess Isabelle is out for a human grandchild in the Champion family. Silly me, I tought we might have the first choice of names.

Isabelle is probably out, but Isabella is still viable. I offerrd up the name Hannah Belle because Jenny loves the name Hannah and she is forbidden to use it. She turned it down though.

Let me know if you need some help with the den... football is important. :) Also, don't let Izzy near an L-Vat Wire. Seriously.
