  I always loved the name "Solstice" ... also said if I ever get a puppy, I'd name it Shifu ... since it would probably think he/she is master of all (Shifu will have to wait ... my dog Ryker thinks he owns the place!)

  Have fun with the lab ... they really love the water and are great leapers!  Check out the "Big Air Dog Jumping Competitions"

  Behold! The dog in question belongs to adorable Renn. I have a Maltese named Sophie, after one of Louis XV's daughters...as you will likewise notice, should you desire gazing at her portrait, she also was a true dog...so to speak...thanks for all of the additions, I live for them...Incidently, I was aware of Oprah (Okra, as I call her), however being that she and I are mutually exclusive (mostly political) I excluded her.
