Sitka, Sidka!

I thought I should tell everyone about my name...I meant to yesterday and I got carried away with other things. But now that Mom is done using the computer and she let me have a few more minutes, I thought I would use my time wisely and let everyone know about my namesake.OK, here's the story... When my mommy and daddy first went to look at me and decided they would take me, they couldn't take me home for another TWO weeks! They had to wait because I hadn't had all my shots yet and I was still weaning.

(speaking of weaning...my first mommy and daddy, Jewel and Howl)

My birth Dad, Howl

My birth Mom, Jewel

So they went home and tried thinking of names for me. The first names they talked about were:
Bristol (As is Bristol Raceway)
Rowling (As in JK Rowling) Casper (Yes, just like Casper D. Dog!)
Sitka or Sidka
The next step was narrowing down the names, Daddy's favorite name was Britsol and Mommy's favorite was Sidka (versus Sitka because she wanted to be able to call me Sid for short).
I guess Mommy and Daddy talked about it and talked about it and talked about it and decided on Sidka. They decided Sidka because of it's relevance to Alaska. (Alaska is known for it's snow, snow is white and so are Eskies!) Plus, Mommy and Daddy LOVE Alaska, they love the snow, the snowmobiling, the ocean, the salmon, the mini Alaskan huskies -also known as Alaskan Klee Kais- (yes, I know I have competition...).


See, my mommy and daddy didn't want a reused name like Snowball or Sugar (yuck, talk about embarrassing!). So they thought they'd get an original name with Sidka! So far we haven't found any other Sidkas! We've heard of Sitkas and we've heard of Sids, but we haven't heard of another Sidka--does anyone know of any doggies named Sidka like me?!
