Which is the Best Dog Name?

A trip to Meadow Lake today spurred a little debate between my traveling companion and myself. 

At the request of another teacher we escorted a stray La Loche puppy to the humane society in Meadow Lake. The puppy is female, a mixed breed, and a beautiful golden brown colour. 

This is the debate:  Which is the best name for this dog?

A) Bacon
B) Chaucer

November 7, 2009

Today is a very special day.  It is the day when two of my closest friends make a lifelong commitment to each other.  It is now 6:00pm.  Half an hour ago the ceremony began.  At this time, I'm sure they have already said their vows, perhaps shed a few tears, and walked hand and hand passed their wedding guests as husband and wife.  I can imagine it.  Kelly is absolutely stunning in her wedding dress.  All eyes are on her, just as it should be.  Ken looks dashingly handsome.  The ceremony is simple yet beautiful.  Today is a day to be celebrated and remembered.

Ken and Kelly,

Although I was not able to make it home to celebrate with you today, you have been continually in my thoughts. I wish you a day full of wonderful memories shared with family and friends.  Enjoy your special day! 

I love you both!
