Galena’s
second litter turns TWO today!
I’m not sure
if it’s because this was our largest litter, at eight puppies, but I’ve always
had the hardest time remembering all of them. We use book characters for the
names we give Galena’s pups, and almost all of these pups also have names their
owners gave them, so having to remember double names is also a challenge! For
this litter the names all came from the Roman
Mysteries series of children’s books that we were reading at the time. Here
they all are (new name + book character name):
Nellie
Serena
Holly
Delilah (I think I’ve got that right)
Maggie Clio
Baloo Lukos
Hazel (I
think she stayed Hazel)
Bolt Skylax
Ophelia
Angel
Maui Tigris
There was
quite a range in sizes for these pups. By the time they went home at age 3
months, Lukos, Skylax and especially Tigris were quite large, well over 10 lbs,
while little Angel was barely half that size. For whatever reason, Angel didn’t
find a home until she was 9 months old, but we loved her to bits. She was
always very quiet and unassuming, other than wreaking havoc on her favourit
chew toy – my dirty underwear… (KIDS!! Close the door to my closet! Harrumph.)
We see
Nellie and Angel fairly regularly at Doodle Romps, and Maggie and Bolt have
joined us a few times, too. Baloo lives in Montreal and Maui in Washington DC,
so those two are Far Away. We keep hoping that Hazel and Holly might join us at
a romp, too, but so far they’ve always had other engagements.
Happy second
birthday!
Have a great
fall romping in all the lovely leaves.
