Not long now Audrey - its exciting stuff .... do we have a new name for her yet or is Molly staying

3 sleeps!!! ;D ;D ;D

Re name, I'm really, really not sure Have been racking my brain and gathering lots of suggestions from people I know but can't decide whether it's as simple as the fact that Molly really IS a 'Molly'. What do you reckon?

Here are some of the possibles - please feel free to add new names + let me know what you think. I prefer something a bit unique and meaningful

Bramley (village near Guildford - good associations for me + Molly IS the apple of my eye)
Darcey (after Darcey Bussell the ballerina)
Efa (Welsh for Life)
Nooma (means spirit or breath of life - correctly spelt it's Pneuma)
Fflur (Welsh for flower)
Ynys (pronounced inniss - Welsh for island)

As you'll gather I have some Welsh connections but am open to all sorts. All suggestions/thought very welcome! Could do with something light and happy and definitely deliacte and girlie but NOT any name which will cause people to laugh at Molly - being made fun of can be handled by Dilys!

Help me out here please peeps

I loved finding a perfevct name for Aoife, being Irish, I stuck to her Celtic roots and chose that as it means beautiful and radient.

I love Ynys, I also have Welsh connections, and had I have had a little girl, this would have been her name

[indysmum]

Its got to be Ynys and Dilys

[Casparsdad]

I sometimes call her Girlie, because I had an Auntie Girlie who was delicate, always tried to dress up well, and had a coat with a whispy fur collar.

I also like Bonnie, because she is, and light and dainty on her feet too.

And my Mollie thought Shadow, because she's pale grey and white and follows me around !

But Molly is pretty good too!

You ain't sleeping, I seen your posts!

[vickiemily]

very excited for you and Dilys this weekend Audrey, hope you are looking forward to bringing Molly home, and it will be a very , very happy, special and no doubt, emotional day, wishing you all lots of happiness, and hope you chose whether to re name Molly, all of the possibles are lovely, and I am sure once you get to know her more, you will easily be able to decide which will suit her best, so excited for you, have a fantastic weekend!! ;D xx

We went to see Uncle Graham this morning. He removed the sticky dressing on her wound and said it looks fine, and from Monday she can run around off lead, but of course Audrey will be keeping her mostly on lead to settle in.
He said her muscle tone has greatly improved in the month since she came to us. Her weight today is 24.65 kg, so she can still put on a few kilos to reach what he would estimate an ideal weight, around 27kg.
She had her second Vaccination, so she's all set to go to Audrey on Sunday.

Whilst we're looking forward to seeing them together again, and are very happy for their future, we will miss her, and I think Caspar may too, for she has been our most successful foster so far with regards fitting in with Old Grumpy.

So pleased that all went well at the vets and she is ready for Sunday.

I love the name Molly, but you will know Audrey within a few days, as to what to call her, whether Molly stays or has a totally new name to go with the wonderful new life she is going to have with you and Dilys

[aijee]

Thank you all again for your really lovely comments

My new hot favourite name-wise is Kalli (from Kallos, Greek for beauty - comes of searching the internet at 3.00am!) I think it sounds great and she is indeed a beautiful girl, both inside and out. It feels like an easy name to call out in the woods, rolls off the tongue + isn't too dissimilar to Molly in terms of 2 syllables and the sounds, so may be a bit less confusing for Molly.

I am SO excited about bringing Molly home on Sunday, it's quite hard to describe but it is as though Life does indeed have a beauty to it again which simply hasn't been there for me since Willow was PTS. Please don't misunderstand me, my life has been really good in many, many ways over the past year and I have much to be thankful for, but nonetheless something very fundamental has been missing - hmmmm now, would that by any chance be a lurcher?!

It is wonderful to hear that Molly is doing so well post operatively The hugest thanks again to you Keith and Mollie for so willingly carrying the weight of the spay and post op care and for generally taking such wonderful care of Molly over the past 4/5 weeks

I am absolutely sure it will not be easy for you to hand Molly over on Sunday and I imagine that Caspar too will indeed miss her presence in the house. Mega hugs to you all.

Just 2 more sleeps ;D ;D ;D .......

That's a laugh - you're not sleeping!

Kalli is a terrific name, and one that she wouldn't find too difficult to adjust to I shouldn't think.
Roll on sunday.

[gilly73]

I am so happy to read through this thread and see that you have finally found your babie girl Audrey

I so remember the feeling of counting down the days, when Ollie was due to come here I didn't sleep for days ;D

I love the name Kalli, and the meaning is so beautiful

I so so so look forward to meeting her soon

[Fran]

If you're sleeping I'm chinese/doubledutch & pink with purple spots

Kalli sounds a lovely name but only if she answers to it ;D ;D ;D

Hope all goes well on Sunday

[indysmum]

Kalli - thats my favourite so far


ONE MORE SLEEP AUDREY

[little Sal]

Soooo excited for you Audrey, we all know just how much this means to you and not only is there no sleep til you're with your special girlie but they'll be none after either .... can picture you gazing upon her with the biggest smile on your face hour after hour ;D ;D

As for the name game good luck ... I looked up so many for our bundle of floppyness that I lost count. You'll know when its the right one , that gorgeous hairy gal will tell you

[wee_island]

Sooo excited for you ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
and Kalli is a lovely name

[moopops]

One more sleep (or lack of sleep) Audrey! Will be thinking of you tomorrow I love the name Kalli

[elmersmum]

One more sleep, Audrey, will be thinking of you tomorrow.

I just wanted to add to this thread a message to Keith and Mollie: as well as fostering Molly/Kalli, they have quietly and compassionately been nursing another soul too And, I'm pretty sure that letting Kalli go will have been very tough

Respect and love to you both for ALL you have done to make sure Kalli made it into the right home

[Mimsmum]

Over to happy endings then poppet.

[aijee]

I decided it was about time I did a Happy Endings update for those who don't log onto the general forum pages.

Well, I think it's fair to say that Kalli is thriving! ;D


Then





Now










Thank you SO much SLR for allowing me the priviledge of caring for this lovely girl
