NEW PUPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Marianne and I got a new puppy today - a lab mix. We got back from our Chicago trip last night, and Marianne got online and there is a rescue place in Loveland and they had lab mix puppies. We named her Te Beagh which means Little Lady in Gaelic. Pronounced "Che Vek". Since a picture is worth a thousand words, here are several thousand words:

AHHHHHH!!!!!!! She is SO CUTE!!!! I can't wait to meet her! And to hear all about how training goes. What a fun challenge1
I seriously am contemplating getting an early flight home just to see her! I am so excited for new puppy!
Hooray! I'm going to visit just to meet her. And maybe do a marathon if there happens to be one there.
And what a cool name!
Okay, this just makes me a laugh a lot.
I did a little research online for the translation though, and apparently "Beag" (with alternate spellings including "bheag" and "beagh") definitely means "little" or "wee," while "te" is the female article. I haven't been able to find any other sources that tell me "te" means "dram" (is in, a dram of whisky). I did find this cool site though and did a search for "woman" and found a lot of compound Gaelic words for things like "pretty girl" and "old hag." Pretty neat stuff!
Anywho, I just liked the fact that my new puppy and my whisky shared the same name. The both make me happy, so I think it's only fair!
Sweet comment, Q. Here's a neat paragraph from the whisky web site:
Unchilfiltered Te Bheag Whisky - Connoisseurs Blend
Pronounced "chey vek", Te Bheag means "the little lady" and is the name of the boat in the company's logo. The name also means a "wee dram" in colloquial Gaelic.
Smooth and slightly peated from its West Coast origins, this is a connoisseurs' whisky with a high malt content, aged between 5 and II years old, and a hint of sherry from selected casks in which it was matured. In I997, this version was awarded a Gold Label in the International Spirits Challenge Competition in London, followed by a Gold Medal from Selectione Mondiale in 1998.
