I saw that movie tonight too. I just got home from the after-movie festivities (also known as the pub).
Car chases, motorcycle chases, riots, a$$ kicking... It was awesome. We saw the preview for The Girl on The Train and I can't wait to see that, even though I'm not really a moviegoer.

I have to admit the plot seemed a lot like the last Bourne film and I didn't love it. Now Ghostbusters on the other hand was great. A great balance between honoring the original (I swear I've seen this movie a100 times) and being its own film.

My sister and I are headed to Hawaii for a 'sissie' trip next week. Loads of snorkeling and swimming. And we plan to see 'Finding Dory' which I understand is well done.

I read the Girl on the Train. Great book. I'm hopeful the film is good as I really like Emily Blunt.

Well, it's a done deal! We'll be picking up our new puppy in a week or so. He's 8 weeks old (tomorrow!), was born while his mom was in foster care. His mom is a Mini Australian Shepherd, and it is thought his dad was a German Shepherd, but I think Rottweiler, looking at his sturdy little self. Zoey mainly ignored him at the meet 'n' greet (until he tried to walk under her, and then there was some amount of HOLY BATMAN.) LOL. Puppy peed, of course. Those first lessons are hard...

Possible names: Duke or Malik. I'm leaning toward Duke so far.... Anybody got any Italian BV names, I'd consider them. We think he'll be about 50 pounds. I would like less, but, hey, he'll be well-trained so it won't matter! Look at the paws on this baby!2016-08-07 12.41.41.jpg

Congrats！He looks like a GSD to me.

P.S. I grew up with a few GSDs. Wonderful breed.

Yep, I feel you are most likely correct. The photo I have of his mom is NOT a Miniature Australian Shepherd, after all, and he definitely looks like his dad was GSD. His tail curls up like Zoey's, so - I'm excited to have another Heinz 57 on my hands!!! Attached is a photo of mom, and one of the puppies. Her litter was only 4, and they were all good sized puppies. Img_0428.jpg

Ooo...I like "Ferro". We'd almost settled on "Rhyn" (pronounced Rin, as in Rin Tin Tin) but I like this new idea.

Thank you! And I like "Ceasar", too, but not as much as "Ferro" or "Rhyn".

Any others? We have at least a week before he comes home, I'm thinking.

Maybe Krim?

India, I thought Cervo would have been the obvious choice, no?

Good ideas. I think "Chervo" (Italian pronunciation) is a little ... chewy. I've always preferred mispronouncing it. :lol:

I was talking to the neighbors about incoming new puppy and was calling him "Rhyn", so "Rhyn" it is. It just feels right. Mark came up with the spelling. I don't recall that he had a lot of choice with Zoey, so it's only fair. Rin Tin Tin is actually copyrighted, believe it or not - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rin_Tin_Tin

Thanks, all!

We're picking up little Rhyn Saturday at 12:30. I've picked up a new leash (cheap, 'cause I know he'll be chewing on it just like Zoey did), a inexpensive first harness, pee pads for the occasional accidents, and two puppy Kongs. Off to pick up what the foster's been feeding (Merrick Puppy Grain-free) until my regular pet store gets their shipment of Orijen Puppy in next week, and we'll sign up for the very first puppy class while we're picking up food. Excited!
