Sir Toby Belch by Randy
Sorry to keep you in suspenders for so long.
After much debate, we have named our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Sir Toby Belch. We really tried to take his name from British Royalty. Ann had her heart set on Henry. But Meredith vetoed that saying her firstborn son will be named Henry (I'm sure her yet to be determined husband will be okay with this). Erin has a degree in English literature so we decided to check Shakespeare. Sir Toby Belch shows up in Twelfth Night and has a festive personality. We also love the movie, Juno, and there's a line in a song from the soundtrack that goes, "Joey never met a bike that he didn't want to ride and I never met a Toby that I didn't like." So Toby it is! Thanks for all your suggestions. As you can see, running in the yard makes Toby smile.

The early literacy spot was wonderful. We all thank you
