Thanks Walt. I like that one as well. I tell people it's not that his ears are so big. It's that his head is so small.
His name, Siutik (See-You-Tick), is native Alaskan for "ears", forget which tribe or dialect, but I found it in an online dictionary that had severeal hundred words translated into english. Being a dog he only really responds to the -tick part of the word, at least that's when he responds. The the first two syllables are just a slurry preamble that probably has nothing to do with him. The same is true of my 5 year old Canaan Dog's name, Alornerk (Ah-lore-nerk)(Alornerque for our friends in and around Montreal). I usually just call him 'Nerk for the same reason as above. And his name means "Under Foot" or "Underfoot" in a Inuit language. But I could never decide if it meant the former more literal meaning as "under my foot" or the latter one I wanted, which describes most any herding dog's puppy-hood. All right, I'll go to bed. Looks like the eastern seaboard will still be there by Monday. Referring to someone's earlier post about the non-catastrophy, I have been rolling my eyes at the talking heads hyper-descriptive blather for a week now. Good to prepare the masses, but not by sounding so much like a wolf, or the next one will get 'em. On Aug 27, 2011, at 09:16 , Walt Gilbert wrote: > That's a great-looking, Dingo-esque dog, Joseph!
