My Rory is "slightly" named after Rory on Doctor Who but mostly for Aurora. But also because I love the name and it's different from my dog's name (Spencer) enough that they won't get confused on who is calling them. The cat was almost named "Diamond" or "Cinderella" because I let some of the Littles help me pick the name but I decided to overrule them this time around with the codicil that they can help name the next animal I get.

I used to have a needle phobia like WOAH but being a Dog Mommy went a long way in helping me. I almost fainted at Spencer's baby shots (nearly nine years ago now) but she was so calm about them and didn't cry or anything so I got much more calm about them. Animals are amazing!
