The Last Full Moon
The days are getting longer. Soon the stars will be gone until fall. Last night on the way home from work I couldn't help but take a minute to enjoy this full moon.

Searching for Spring
All this week I look for signs that spring was really coming. Besides the fact that we still have light at 7:00 p.m. the field by our house did not convince me spring would come to Fairbanks today.
Finally, yesterday the temperatures increased. In small amounts we can actually find water flowing outside.
To me the surest sign that spring will come soon was finding the first pussy willow of the season.

Naming Our New Pup
When I was a kid the only pet I ever had was a goldfish and he never really had a name, well not until the day I came home and found him sitting in the hot sun of the window belly up! We would bury him in the garden and I needed to put a name on the Popsicle stick grave marker. I decided to call him Speedy because he would swim around in his bowl really fast causing a whirlpool effect and then when he tried to stop he would get swept around the bowl a few times in the current. The poor fish never got a name until he died though. I always felt bad about poor Speedy.
I mentioned this story to a friend in college once and she told me the story of her friend B.G. who got her name because her parents actually never were able to come up with a name and the name on her birth certificate was B.G. (baby girl). I knew if I were ever to have children this would be their fate!
When David and I decided to get a dog I hoped that he would be good with this whole name thing, but it turned out that he struggled just as much as I did. When we picked up Brody from the shelter we talked about changing his name. We actually gave it a few attempts, but it turned out he would barely come to Brody, so changing his name didn't seem like a great idea.
