Vanity Fairest

Her name is spelled right! My brother told me it was Haily or Hailey. I should have known better!

The Grishes have a new member of the family. Already! And much to my mother’s dismay. So much for not having a dog for awhile.

Dad keeps calling her Annie, and telling my sister to stop calling her Annie. Mom keeps lamenting how sad Annie would be that we’ve replaced her already, and how much she would hate that we have another dog in the house. My poor sister is trying to maintain her sanity.

She’s a 4-year old German Shorthaired Pointer. Apparently very gentle and friendly. I’m going to have to go home to meet her soon! She looks like a great dog.

Small issue: I liked the name Annie for a baby. Annie Newman. Cute, right? I might have gotten away with it. But I also liked Haley, and naming my children after my family’s dog’s is probably not going to fly. We had a Mitzie until I was about five, but that’s out of the question.

Welcome, Hayley!
