Forget Bama, Meet Ally

Or Allie. I'm not quite sure of the spelling yet. I was informed today that li'l Miss Bama's name has been changed, because Bama sounded too much like bad dog. We don't want that sweet little puppy thinking she's bad, I suppose. So Ally, it is! Of course, her name is derived from Alabama, the home state of a really great guy named Roy, who was kindhearted enough to take her in when she needed a home. Roy is one of my boyfriend's good friends, and now mine, as well. He's been a bit under the weather, and has been poked and prodded and under the knife far too often these days. So perhaps some more puppy love from Miss Ally will bring him a bit of cheer. Enjoy, and send some good thoughts Roy's way, if you're so inclined!
