Joyeux anniversaire, Natasha

Today is Tasha's 9th birthday! Woof!

A photo from last December.

In France, they expect that dogs, especially those with "papers," to be given a name that starts with a certain letter of the alphabet. When Tasha was born, the official initial (chuckle) for 2017 was "N." We wracked our brains for several days to come up with a name that works both in French and in English* and finally landed on "Natasha". She actually gets called "Tasha" (or just "Tash") most of the time, but her registered name begins with an "N." We joke that we named her after a Star Trek character.

It helps to say the name out loud and imagine yourself calling that name in public.
