So I took a change and decided to actually talk about my problems to the only person who I should really be talking about my problems with, and my anxiety was put to rest.

So indeed we'll be adopting our four-legged surrogate child.

Anyone have some ideas for dog's names? Apparently it's not allowed to be too complicated so I was thinking Toby after Sherlock Holmes' dog (well, not really his dog, but the dog he borrows). Of course, meeting the puppy before naming it is important but I'm just looking for ideas.
