Lol

Well, on cp names, we did have Rohn as a name, but a really good friend, also a musher, had the same idea and named his little boy Rohn a few years back , so we can't use that now as i am kind of an uncle to him. Neither of us had told the other of the choice to use the name lol. Damn! Ems and i both liked that one.

We joked at Takotna, tak for short, which i do kind like, Nikoli we don't really like anyway and my younger brother is called nicholas luke but goes by luke so also knik is out. I joked at unalkleet lol but that was just that lol. I do actually like Deshka, think it's a great name, but Ems's isn't so sure as he would just get nicknamed des (dez) or desh as everyone shortens names. Nome could have worked for a girls name. So that's Iditarod names. Skwentna, iditarod, galena, ophir, McGrath, Rainy, Finger lake, anvik, anchorage, cripple, eagle, elim, fairbanks, kaltag, koyuk, shaktoolik wasila, yetna, shageluk, safety and white mountain just don't work lol :lol: :lol: :lol:

We do have some others which we are trying to chose between but not going to put here as they are our top 4 or 5, gonna give it another day or two and maybe we will have a name by the finish lol


And no, dog drop is not an option as a name Dilli hahahaha

Fingers crossed he aces that quiz and is soon home, looking with amazement at the wonderful scene on his nursery wall. (Insert heart emojis here.)

I'm taking it to mean Young Short Pants Lord of the Hunden needed a good Bilirubin number for his discharge ?

Now that he is feeding like a ravenous puppy, his bili #s will drop fast. You can help those numbers with sunshine, or just like they do in the neonatal nursery-- under lights.

I'm quite sure Young Short Pants has already learned how to summon his " staff". That is the first and foremost skill of young Lords and Ladies.

:D :D :) :lol: :P :P

Tangles, you forgot Golovin and Koyukuk, Huslia in your list of names. Naming is so hard. If you look at Yukon you have Dawson as well :)

Happy to hear he has figured out how to "eat", everything must be learned, even that!

And totally agrees with all Breeze said, summoning the "servants" comes naturally :)
