I found a Maine mix that I liked and we were going to go get that one, but decided to stop by the local shelter and see what they had. Hubby said it had to be a boy.

They didn't have too many and this little girl stole my husbands heart. She was a stray that they had picked up and had been at the pound a week. They said they guessed she is about 10 or 12 weeks. So we had to bring her home. She seems to really like people, and wanted to be held or sitting on us all the way home. I have her sequestered in my sewing room and she is quite playful.

So she needs a name. Any ideas? My husband normally does the naming of pets, but he takes forever. So any ideas will be appreciated. I suggested Pollyanna, and call her Polly, but he said she is not a bird.

Anyway def for calico is: a plain-woven cotton cloth printed with a figured pattern, usually on one side.
