The RubyHaus has a new addition as of 8pm this evening. We are now the proud parents of a 1.5 lb, 8-week-old male Yorkie who is as cute as a button. After losing our beloved 14-year-old Yorkie in January, we’re ready to hear the patter of little feet again [New Puppy Pics](http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/Ruby_Rubena/The%20New%20Puppy/) The baby is very playful and is sleeping on his dog-dad’s lap at the moment. He’s a lover and a kisser, too. Now for the naming… We’ve had a couple of good ideas/suggestions: Spencer (I thought it we got another female dog, we could name her Katharine) Max Beemer Mac (and if we got a second, call it Roni) Any ideas? ---

How cute! I think he looks like a Toby. ---

Dammit. That’s what you’ll be calling him most of the time anyway, so why confuse the issue? ---

I’ve always wanted to name a dog “Slug.” Unfortunately, for our dog, the kids insisted on “Pepper.” ---

I don’t care what you name it, to me, it’ll always be ‘booper’. (As in, must reach over and boop the nose!) ---

Obviously, his name is “Killer.” Or “ohmygoshwhoozacuuutestwiddlepuppyeverwazyesYOUare! _squeak!_” because that’s all I’d be sayin’ to him anyway. ---

“Arf.” You have to spell it like that, with the period, for full effect. ---

For some reason I looked at him and just thought Skipper. Which isn’t normally my style, but I think it fits. Also, in one picture he looks just like a Stewie. Maybe just Dogger. I don’t know, I’m so squee!-ed out it’s hard to think 🙂 ---
