Happy Hunter?

Here's our Cavalier baby boy!!:) We're buying him from a kennel in Belarus but both of his parents had been imported from France.
And in France they have a strange one-letter-per-year system for dogs' names. All puppies born in the same year must have names starting with the same letter. (HUH?!)

It's "H" in 2012.

The funny thing is that French cannot pronounce the /h/ sound. And many don't.  So the joke is on them... or is it on us?:) 
You have no idea how many times I've heard from someone they were "very angry" while they were "very hungry" in reality.

Regardless of the fact that we're not in France I feel like cheri N. would be more comfortable observing the one-letter-per-year rule. So...

We had Hunter first. Seriously?! Then I kind of wondered about Happy. Yesterday I came up with Honey and texted N. We both kind of liked it.

So when starting this post today I asked cheri N. to say the name out loud. And there it was... /oni/. /oni/, not /hĘŚni/. 

After stressing the importance of Honey being Honey, not Oni. I went back to blogging. And that's when it hit me! Our Honey was born on Dec 1, 2011.

2011! His name is supposed to start with a "G".

The joke is on us.

Any suggestions?

It's a boy!

Two weeks of madness before leaving for France, 17 days being lost in Brittany and Paris cut off from the Internet, almost a week after coming back home and... I'm back on the blog:)

I'm back with pictures and stories from our French vacation that should hopefully last me right until I rediscover the inner photographer who's gone... (I don't know where she's gone but - wherever it is - I'm looking forward to her coming back.)

Also, I'm back we're back with a plan to adopt a Cavalier King Charles!!

/ photo sent by BF / let me know if its yours /
To do that we need to wait for me to move here, which will take from 2-5 months. But we've started looking for kennels both in France and in Ukraine already.

"Ze Devil" aka yorkie and American Cocker Spaniel had to give. We're having a petit cavalier:)))
