Preliminary Placement

Looks like if all goes well our dog will be the one names Leeta.  She's a pretty, mid-sized black one.  We don't know yet whether she's pure Labrador or is a mix of Lab and golden retriever.

She's really nice and attentive, but is certainly trying out her boundaries with me.  We got to take her to lunch with us and now she's already been in the bathroom with both of us and didn't flinch when Susan gave herself her daily injection.

We don't know where the name Leeta comes from - it's only existence I know of is as a character on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

I was curious so I looked up the name. According to familyeducation.com, these are the origins and meanings:

Latin: Joy
Swahili: Bringer
Greek: Small with wings

I looked too, but I couldn't find much verification for the translations. Hebrew is supposedly "orchard" too. Leda is a Greek myth character too. Something to do with a swan.
