>>Hi Mike,
>>
>>>Saving the best for last, on Friday Allie and I went to look at some golden retriever puppies and I bought one of them on the spot.
>>
>>Good luck - but I hope you got a plan for situations forcing you to live away from home during the week...
>>
>>>The one we chose is female and one of the reddest of the litter.
>>
>>There you go again showing your leftist streak again colour-coded ;-))
>>
>>>... is pronounced the same way as that of my recent ex-girlfriend's daughter. No reconciliation is expected or being pursued by either of us but it's still too uncomfortably close. I can just imagine that conversation -- "You named your dog after my daughter?" No thanks.
>>
>>I know that I am very reserved about putting what I consider private information somewhere on the net -
>>but especially if it concerns 3rd persons, names and personal relationships...
>>I haven't really connected to the FB mindset, as can be seen by my picture here ;-)
>>
>>Still, you might rethink the scope of information offered - you cannot retract,
>>only ask for forgiveness - a situation I try not to enter.
>>
>>all the best with your new dog

>Thanks, Thomas.

>Re red, maybe I should name the puppy Nancy Pelosi ;-) That really is a joke.

>If you are suggesting I should not mention my daughters, they are part of their generation and are out there on their own. It's not revealing anything to suggest their Facebook IDs. From what I have seen they conduct themselves with decorum. In fact on Saturday Allie expressed her disapproval of the things one of Emily's friends says on FB. "You just don't say that stuff." I honestly don't worry about my daughters beyond the low level angst that never leaves any parent. They have turned out well.

Why would you want to harm the dog by naming it Nancy Peolosi?? LOL... I thought you liked the puppy...
