Name one "Aileen Cannon" so you won't be so sad when you give her away.

I apologize Ms. Vance, it was an effort to add humor to the conundrum. I think the 11th Circuit would be willing to give away Judge Loose Cannon to any Circuit who would have her.

This is definitely a contender!

Definite winner. I'm late to the game, but my bride suggested this, too. Lucy for the ginger, Ethel for the grey. <3

As you are on your way to Austin, you might consider Lady Bird, one of my all time favorite women! Thank you for keeping me informed and sane throughout.

Oh Biff, I will miss the stories about you. Are you going to get another rooster? Lucy for the red head for sure. Maybe Ethel for the other one?

This sure has been quite a week, buckle up, something tells me it isn't over yet. Safe trip to Texas Joyce. Have fun with your Sisters in Law pals.

I cannot articulate how much I love your chicken love! This, from a brilliant legal commentator who has helped me understand so much about the crazy stuff going on. You bring me joy! Therefore, name a chicken after me. xxoo

Thank you for the update on the chickens. I see these two little ladies adding a lot of light to your life and ours so I propose, Mimosa and Bellatrix, both bright stars in the night sky. Thank you for including us in this important transition from critter to pet.

Love this but we already have a Bellatrix! My German Shepard (She joined the cats, Harry and Hermione, and our boxer Miss Fig, so we had a theme going there for a while)
