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.
She is such a beauty. We’ve been visiting for a long time. I remember her gotcha day!
ReplyDeleteAs is, she deserves to wear a winner's rosette, or medal or whatever. A very happy birthday to our dearest!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Sweet Girl. My granddaughter is also nine, but born in 2016.
ReplyDeleteYes, I remember her “gotcha” day, too :) And meeting her when she was still a big puppy, at 5 months old. Sweetie :)
ReplyDeleteI always remember her birthday because it’s two days after mine. Happy Birthday, Tasha! 🥰

Happy Birthday Tasha! C.
ReplyDeleteBelated greetings, Tasha! You are really photogenic! I wish I was...
ReplyDeleteTasha says "Woof!" to all for your well-wishes!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what a "gotcha day" is...
It’s the day a dog goes to its permanent home. In the case of shelter dogs, their actual birthdate is not usually known so their ‘gotcha’ date is celebrated instead.
