Three “little Siegfrieds”

Karen, who sold us our beloved Siegfried back in March, has announced the availability of three more “beautiful Cream/White puppies”:
My daughter said, "Aw, don't you want another? Just ask DeAnn how much more fun it is with two! I copied her so she could see the photos. She sent a picture of their two [Wolfie and Beauregard] in her Christmas card."
    I replied, "They are sooooo cute, and we love the 60-pound version also, but two, big Siegfrieds? You've got to be kidding!"
    Then DeAnn suggested that we purchase one of the little Siegfrieds and name him Roy.
    That wasn't the first time that my wife and I had heard that one. She decided she had to set the record straight:
Siegfried is a reference to Wagner, not to Las Vegas. We'd have to name the dog Wotan or Siegmund; for a female, Brünnhilde or Sieglinde.
She even got out her set of DVDs of "Der Ring des Nibelungen," to check the spellings.
    This might be a good time of year to watch that....

    Morris,
        That was very funny and cute to boot. Thank you for thinking of us and for the free advertising too.
        I am glad Siegfried is doing well and you have moments where you have discussions of adding another. If you are ever in need of a female version of your home boy, we're here for you.
        Take care and thank you for thinking of us.
        Stay warm,
        Karen
