Siegfried Dean as a pup |
all still beloved

[The woman] who sold us our beloved Siegfried back in March [2009] 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 in her Christmas card.”

Then DeAnn suggested that we purchase one of the little “beautiful Cream/White” Siegfrieds just announced 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 those DVDs....
