Well, today is the day, we'llbe picking him up at two o'clock this afternoon. The name question remains unresolved, but we have agreed to put "Black Magic" in the papers and then see what kind of "everyday name" seems most fitting once we have the dog.
I'm all for Blacky/Blackie, just have to convince my girlfriend...
Thanks for all your suggestions and keep them coming, this is not over yet...
