"creAAture" made me LOL. 
I'm not opposed to its presence, but I've been opposed to everything (diametrically, it would seem) that she wants about details.
She wants a white/blond-coated female. I want the black-coated male that's available.
She wants a dog-like name. I have no problem giving a dog a human name.
Re: names, she sees no humor in a sight gag. This dog will top out at 12 pounds, and I wanted to name it Moose. Bzzzzzt. Wrong answer.

But it would come running when I yelled, "Hey Stupid! Come here!"

Also re: coat colors, before you get a white/yellow animal...I really hope you don't have dark colored carpeting. Most of our downstairs is burgundy, and I think my mom had to vacuum at LEAST daily throughout the animal's entire life.

JOC, what's a "dog-like name"?
I'm not opposed to giving dogs human names, as long as they're like...not in the Top 100 Trendy Baby Names of 1990-2010 or something. Extra points if it's a human name from a different century, millennium, or culture.
Our dog's name was Nicodemus, which I think is awesome. Particularly because once a year John 3:1-21 would come up in the lectionary and we would all be trying SO hard not to giggle in church imagining Jesus taking a yellow Lab for a walk at night.

Other Box people who don't own a car, do any of you maintain a liability only auto insurance policy for when you rent a car, or do you just buy insurance with your rentals? I'm debating this right now, as I'm wondering if I'm over insured on rentals now. I've got a liability policy of my own, but I'm also covered by insurance provided through my credit card, as well as the insurance ZipCar includes when we use their cars locally. My insurance is only $60/month, but if it's not something I really need, that's $720/year I could eliminate from the budget.

BTW I love that name for a dog. Our cats all have unique names Mephisto, Nero, and Begemot. All three fit their personalities rather well too.

You never know. As a kid we had a dog named Frosty. I've known a couple of other dogs with that name in my life as well. Then, this past summer, I was at a new client and encountered a human there that went by the name Frosty. To make it worse, Frosty was a man of about 50 years old. I didn't know how to react to that one.

HAHAHA.
That's very South Louisiana of you.
We spell anything possible with an "-eaux".
Oh, and our recently-departed feline was named Hobart. For obvious reasons.

Is it population loss, or just a lower rate of increase than the rest of the country? Census estimates suggest that the population increased by 300,000 people since 2000. I wouldn't be surprised if NC, TX, CA, AZ, FL increased more, though.

My family had a goldfish when I was growing up named Flush.
There was also a brief moment when my brother somehow acquired a rabbit. His name was Stu.
Why yes, I find myself normally adjusted to society. Why do you ask? Now if you'll excuse me, I need to polish my tin-foil hat.
