I'm an Auntie!

[CreatureTeacher]

Isn't she beautiful? My mother's new nine-week-old Anatolian pup. Her name is Occam. I haven't met her yet. Planning a trip over the mountains this coming weekend. (Sorry the pics are so big. I'm lucky I got them up at all!)

Cute girl your moms has Emma.

I couldn't see all of it - too big but I"m sure happy for you. In my family that would make me a sister again though

 

[CreatureTeacher]

Yeah, I suppose she's a sister. It's just hard to think of my mom being a "new mom" again at her age! So, addendum: Here's Occam, my new adoptive sister.

Didnt see the second pic the first time, when you do meet her give her a belly rub from me.

Aww she is absolutely gorgeous!! Does her name mean anything special? It's really unique. I bet your mum is really pleased with her new puppy!

Wow, how beautiful...

What a nice puppy he looks like!

I can see adventures are to come from the little one!

 

[Saje]

I saw her this time!!! What a doll. She's so sweet. I bet you can't wait to see her.

William of Occam (Ockham) was a logician in the 1300s. He basically said that the simplest explanation is usually the correct one. It's part of the foundation of the scientific method: Don't add postulates that don't contribute to a theory's predictive power. Smart guy. Mom named her dog after him. Did I mention my family has a pretty firm scientific background? (Read: We're a bunch of nerds.)

Ooh, very interesting indeed, thanks for explaining! I like names that aren't very common - it makes them more interesting.

She's adorable! Too cute to be legal!

She's lovely - congratulations on being a new auntie / sister!

 

[nedim]

Conratulations to the new addition to the family. I hope your mom is happy with Occum and they share many good times together.

She is adorable!

Lovely pup! And so much poise already. She must come from working lines with that attitude she's showing.

So, when it's time to trim her coat, will you be using Occam's Razor?

 

[Doberluv]

She's adorable. How is you Mom getting on with her lately? I love the name and the explanation behind the choice....interesting. I love science too!

Congrates to your mom and you Emma..nothing more exciting then a new baby in the family!

Congrats to your mom & Occam for finding each other! Occam is so cute!!!!

Max says he wants to meet his new sister; he doesn't have many Anatolians to play with on this board.
