Coming soon….!
Wednesday, October 1st, 2008So, I’ve been debating getting new friends for Orlith for a while now and finally decided to get two new girls 
Contacted one of our breeders, Wheatfields Rattery (no online presence at the moment, unfortunately, or I’d include a link), and she told me she’d be breeding some Huskies soon. Immediately I wanted one (or two), but the mating didnt take. Luckily, another mating she had tried before that did take and out popped three ratlings: two boys…and one girl! The girl was a little smaller than expected, so she didnt tell me about her in case she wasnt going to rehome that one, but the little one is doing fine and she was immediately picked by me (even before I got the photo!).

The next decision was whether I was going to pick from an existing litter of capped and hooded Dumbos, or whether I’d wait for the next Husky litter. Of course, being Ms Impatient, I asked for photos of the Dumbos 
I had a nice selection, and eventually decided on a black capped one with a mismarked face

So now all is left is the wait, and of course the naming! I’m more leaning towards keeping the same theme, which at the moment is dragon names from the books of Pern, by Anne MacCaffrey. I had four “computer” names before: Linux, Apple, Intel and Xeon, and now I think four “Pernese” names are suitable: Feyrith (RIP) and Orlith.
The names I’m leaning towards are Ramoth, Prideth, Wirenth (pronounced “whirr-enth”), and Meranath (though this one I struggle to remember haha). Decisions decisions! Michael thinks I should name them something completely different…but what (if you have any suggestions…..)? I like themes, and meanings behind names, and at this point I’m reading the Pern series, so it fits. Also then the names will run in groups of four and the next babies I get after these two will be new names.
*sigh* I guess I’ll eventually come to a decision, but I think Ramoth definately has a spot 
More pics, simply because they’re too cute!
