Oh boy!

In approximately ten days (10 days!), we will have a puppy in the apartment! We weren't supposed to get him until after Thanksgiving, but Elisha's mommy is bringing little Krumme to us over parents weekend, Friday after next! He's a little Dachshund from Saucey's (Elisha's doggy) first litter! Krumme is a little red one and we can't wait to have him running around!
We got his name from Harry Potter- Victor Krum. We had a list of names we had pulled from literature: Fiyero, Wicked; Atticus, To Kill a Mockingbird; Reuben, Bible; Tybalt, Romeo and Juliet; and of course Krumme. Everyone agreed that Krumme was most fitting of a small dog, both in the irony of Victor Krum being a large, strong guy as well as the direct correlation to the word crumb.

The spelling was changed for the entertainment of the drinkers in the bunch... (it's a German liquor) If I'd just forget about that detail, I'll be happier with it...
