That is indeed a cute dog. "Bandit" is probably too conventional a name. How about "Autolycus"?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
brenda, does cutie dog have a name that is staying, or do we get to help name it?
Her name is Darby. I haven't really thought about keeping or no yet.
She's wandering around getting a feel for the place. We already got caught in a thunderstorm on our first walk. Poor baby.
She looks like a total sweetheart, brenda. Yay!
OK, sorry about the name suggestion. Already has one and Darby is a cool name.
Cutie Darby!
You should just add "Terence Trent" to her name and let it go...
awww... little Terence Trent Darby!!!!!
Better that than what my head is stuck with right now, which is "Operator" by Jim Croce
Somehow, you saying that has got The Witchita Lineman in my head!

How is the cat dealing?
It rained for about 60 seconds here, then it stopped. The temperature has dropped about 10 degrees, though.
She's about two or three, so given that I haven't been struck with inspiration, the name will likely stick.
So far she doesn't seem interested in the cat (or the cat's food) which is all to the good. But is likely also a factor of still being a little freaked at new places/new people.
This org, Project Rescue Chicago, got her from a traditional shelter, then she was boarding at a daycare for a while. In either case, not much human contact, so they got her into a home and said it took about two weeks for her to get comfortable and warm up, after which she was sweet and warm. The rescue people were all "no really, please believe us!" Makes me wonder if people backed off from her before because she wasn't all cuddly.
She's definitely shy, but not scared or flinchy or anything so I think getting settled shouldn't take too long. She was with the fosters for about two months, but from her paperwork it looks like she's been in shelter/foster since at least September. Poor wee girl.
Cat is displeased, but not hissy or anything. She's hiding under the bed at present, but she was doing that for three hours before she got here, so.
