Need I say more? Cocoa Latte is her name for now although Greg’s pushing for Starbuck. My brother commented if we choose that name, both Smith siblings would have pets named after characters in Moby Dick since he has a cat named Queequag. I think Greg was referencing the coffee shop more than the literary character. She’s half Bernese Mountain Dog and half Rottweiler so we have a big girl on our hands.

All sorts of puppy joy in the Valentine household.
