Puppy minus 5 days, and counting

Or should that be Pee minus five days?
We pick up our puppy on Saturday, after Jonas' first soccer outing.



Sam has carefully screened the litter, and picked out the one that seems calmest, and very friendly (with significant input from Cyndy, their breeder).

Today Sam made the introductions.



It is going to be a big change for this little puppy, who is part of a cute little pack at the moment.



However, Julian appears well-qualified to help him feel at home.





We are still bandying about some name possibilities. If you jump in now, you might get to sway the outcome:

Dobby (you all remember him, don't you?) is high on the list. Also Leo (Shih-Tzu's are mythically linked to lions), and Tito (Italian for "Huge").

Here are some more obscure possibilities, with explanatory links.


Fizzgig

of Dark Crystal fame (thank you, Jim Henson)

or Gizmo

which isn't an exact visual match, but I think the association is pretty clear.

Then there are the choices inspired by George Lucas, which perhaps are the best visual match:

Wicket

or

Nippett

Any strong opinions?
