  • So I FINALY got Charlie all registered and papered with AKC. Unfortunately we had a big old issue with his name. :eek: I caught it right away on my AKC page. So being the diligent environmentalist that I try to be I sent an e-mail right away to have Charlie’s name corrected. Received an e-mail that they had fixed the name and would send out a corrected pedigree and certificate. Unfortunately the name was still incorrect. So I got to call and talk with a very nice gentleman who fixed the issue and assured me I would be receiving a corrected pedigree and certificate. I told a friend this and he said, Great now Charlie can be a super spy with good fake names. I can only assume that it aught to be a blast when I register Zaire as her name is entirely in Swahili. :D

    Many of us have total Swahili names for our registered names…. Check out Mickii's registered name... Zuri Ti-Tanza Wazi Ajabu

  • Beautiful…what does it translate to... go figure it probably will be painless with her. I Figure it was just a crazy fluke. It's not like Charlie's name is super tough: Avatar's Charlemagne Veritas. Of all the problems it was with the word veritas. :D

    Zuri is the breeders Kennel name, Ti - is for Tri color, Tanza is my kennel name, Wazi is loosely translated as Obvious, and Ajabu is Magic. Kristii's name is Tanza's Kenyetta (Kenyetta means sings alot… which she does NOT, ggg)

  • Nice. Katie was kind of put off when I told her I was going to name Zaire a Swahili name, but she came around when I explained to her what the name meant. Nyonda Zaire Usharifu "Beloved Nobility of Zaire" <g>She is proving not to be much of a talker to me, but oh boy does she chat with Charlie if she thinks he is ignoring her. :D</g>

    They are adorable :) Watson always gets identified as some sort of terrier. He has been a rat terrier and a toy fox terrier…

    It seems to me there are a couple of issues here. I don't think a shelter wants just any JoeBloe walking in one day to say "hey I'd like to help by walking your dogs". The shelter needs to know something about its volunteers though a criminal check might be a bit much. If someone has been volunteering at a shelter for some time so the staff knows them and now new policies are being put into effect, then the shelter should have some sort of informational meeting/handout for all its volunteers so they know what and why. And even when volunteers have been accepted, some mini-training should be included for handling dogs. Many shelter dogs have been abused so I wouldn't want a volunteer who grew up under the "old" system of training with spanking and collar yerking now handling a special needs dog. Actual certification for dog walkers - no - the government intrudes enough.

    I love them. They are, of course, where the voting goes on. But I have been there for years. For the last 3 yrs part of my daughter and my gifts to each other is the gifts that give. Each year I have given her a certificate from buying a stove.. well here it is. She varies what she gets me.

    @Maya: If you're living in Holland, you need a Friesian!!! :D I have the most wonderful friesian, her temperment is amazing. She's not even 3 yet but she is just so sweet and gentle!! But, do keep us updated. I've had horses since i was 3 and they are a huge part of my life. I couldnt be without them even though im not as involved in the horse world as i once was!! P.S. I have some photos from a show over here in the UK with shires in their traditional plaits and tack if anyone is interested in seeing them. Its just amazing!! Yes!! I love to see the pictures!!! I like the Friesian horses but it's not a breed wich can used for lots of things, they are to special i think :D I like the Friesian for shows and as a barouche horse (is it a good word?) I once ride a Friesian and it's different with riding a normal or western horse. They make larger steps and it's very comfortable riding! A friend of us breeds the Friesian :D @moetmum: That sounds exciting, hope it all goes to plan. Our neighbouring farmer used to breed shire horses, they don't breed now but still have loads of horses. They go to loads of shows, they were sponsored by a local brewery. The horses are fascinated by the basenjis, and always want to come and have a look! the b's aren't keen when they snort at them though. I have never heard of a horse milking farm before!! Wow!!! If it was a little bit near Holland, I really would come over to met you and take a look at the shires next door :D:D We're don't going to live in Holland :D In Germany they have also some very nice breeds Hannoveraan, holsteiner (i don't know the english names…0
