NEW NOMINATIONS!

Several new nominations for the name of little "Puppy Doe"

1. Diogi -pronounced DOG. Get it. This one was first brought up Saturday and it has now been brought up by a close friend.

2. Zevon - We've got a Buffett, so keeping with the music theme, what better name than the writer of Werewolves of London and Lawyers Guns and Money. "Z" for short.

3. Levon - cause he shall be a good man.

4. Norman - would be called "Norm!"

5. Atticus - he's spent the day in a lawyer's office and has acted very much accordingly. By that I mean whining he wants to go home and sleeping on top of the desk. He takes after his Dad.

6. Groove - Because he is the most laid back Yorkie we've ever seen and that was the nickname of a guy with a similar personality at Troy.

7. Troy - for obvious reasons.

And until the results are updated I will say there has been write in emails for Sarge, Diogi, Norm and Groove.

The nomination of "Yorkpie Hat" was rescinded in the same email it was mentioned. By a wise man.

I don't encourage any of you to give to this cause as I love my new family and think Buffett will come around once he sees that it's funny when I chase and bite his tail. I did, however, promise him I would add this to the bottom of my post.

My Top 10 Favorite Kate Pictures

CARL'S FAVORITE KATE PICS




It has been a rough last few days so I want to move on to happier thoughts... Carla Swinney took the best pictures of Kate ever, but this Top 10 is limited to just the ones I've taken of her.

10. Sentimental favorite. Our first Christmas after we married. Love the lighting.


9. Toby Keith hat. Luis Vuitton bag. That's my cowgirl.



8. The Napa Wine Train. I would have liked to have had more balance to the lighting but I love the picture.




7. When you're the last ones left at your favorite restaurant, things can get a little silly.



6. CABO DOLPHINS





5. End of a long day on the water and she still looks beautiful.





4. She's kind of got an Uma in Pulp Fiction thing going on.





3. She was just getting to know Buffett. Win over the dog and you've got me.





2. The real 2nd favorite has not been authorized as the subject of the picture thinks it shows a little too much leg. Therefore, this is a substitute. It was one of our first pictures together taken on our first vacation together. And if I can't show the leg, I can at least show some shoulder.





1. The one that first made me go, "Wow!"




SO... VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE.
