Unfortunately, unless Anya made a big deal about it, Beau would likely call the dog Fluffy regardless. The monk pet the dog and then picked her up so she could lay back and rest the puppy on her chest. She didn't care if she got slobbered on with dog kisses or what, but it felt nice to have something that gave unconditional love with her.
Fortunately, neither Anya or Pushok mind--Pushok licks contentedly at Beau's chin for a bit before settling in for a nap. Anya studied them for a moment with a sad sort of smile, then sighed quietly and retrieved her book from the bedside table and sat down on the floor next to Beau's head. "You can stay as long as you like," she told her, giving Beau's hair a quick pet much the same way Beau was petting Pushok before opening her book at the place the ribbon was tucked and settling in to read in companionable silence.
