Happy birthday Nellie, Maggie, Delilah, Angel, Hazel, Baloo, Maui and Bolt



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.
