Ginger vs. Molly

First I want to thank you all for your words of encouragement and support. This whole relationship thing is still relatively new to me, since I've prided myself on being a single girl at heart... a heart that is going through some changes for sure

I'll be moving back to Boston in one month. I can't believe it! While NotMexican and I have made some moves towards seeing each other and staying together, he decided he wanted to make another move as well.

We went to a shelter last night and got a golden retriver for him. He has been wanting a golden retriever for a really long time. He did all the research and there is a shelter in colorado that specifically takes in golden retrievers.

NotMexican was very specific. He wanted a boy, adult but not old, lighter hair color and gentle. We walked away with all the criteria except the dog is a girl.

She is wonderful minus the bad breath. She loves people, follows us everywhere, is quiet, slept the whole night without issues, already learned to go through the doggy door... and so much more.

Now NotMexican has someone with whom to cuddle while I'm not around. The only question is what to name her. Poor thing was essentially abused at her prior home, so we have to change her name to make sure the prior owners never find her again.

I like Molly... NotMexican likes Ginger.

I wish I had taken a pic for you guys, but any thoughts on what to name her?
