    Had a male Newfoundland (Newfie) years ago and I named him “Beauregard”. Best dog I ever had. 175 pounds of big, dumb, loving, loyal galoot.
    In French, the meaning of the name Beauregard is: Respected; regarded highly (literal translation is Beautiful/handsome gaze).

    Beautiful pup Mag!

    Although if you're gonna have him in public, maybe "Blackie"? After C-Ville, screaming "blackie" at high volume in your part of the state could become entertaining.

    Good one. I have a story on that.

    Must have been around 85 I was doing a stone masonry job way sown in the bushes. My crew was an old black guy and two of his sons. I was about 40 feet up on a scaffold and looked down to see a black labbrador stealing my lunch. Not thinking I yelled "Drop it you black son of a bitch." Six eyes cut skyward. I quickly realized my mistake and yelled down "the dog, the dog" they saw it and cracked up....Damn dog got my lunch though. True story.



    For a female maybe 'Ebony'. This is wht ahis one year old sister looks like today.

    Being ...?

    I was wondering that myself. Who knows what lurks in the mind of a moderator.

    Could it be "Collar" as a Bostonian would say it?

    Or a mis spell of 'Kali"
    Kali, (Sanskrit: “She Who Is Black” or “She Who Is Death”) in Hinduism, goddess of time, doomsday, and death, or the black goddess (the feminine form of Sanskrit kala, “time-doomsday-death” or “black”). Kali’s origins can be traced to the deities of the village, tribal, and mountain cultures of South Asia who were gradually appropriated and transformed, if never quite tamed, by the Sanskritic traditions. She makes her first major appearance in Sanskrit culture in the Devi Mahatmya (“The Glorifications of the Goddess,” c. 6th century CE). Kali’s iconography, cult, and mythology commonly associate her not only with death but also with sexuality, violence, and, paradoxically, in some later traditions, with motherly love.

    I think he was referring to a word associated with time.

    Folks get stuff confused and twisted all the time.

    People come to us all the time figuring on getting some hocus-pocus chanting and incense burning, as if they were still on holiday in India.

    That was interesting read, thanks. I have done some study of Hinduism, am familiar with much of this, studied the Bhagavad Gita in some depth, but had not encountered Kala.

    Not unlike some of what I was alluding to in the thread on Aldo Leopold. Aristotle said "Time is but the measure of repetitive motion" (be that the cycle of the moon or half life of the cesium atom).Though I note it for convenience in the world I no longer experience time as cyclical, but as linear. Thats part of why the repetitive celebration of holidays strikes me as odd.
    [h=2]Is Time Real Or Illusory?[/h] In Hinduism time is regarded as an aspect of creation. It exists only so long as we are bound to the things of this world through our senses. Time is a mental concept created by the movement of our senses, the celestial objects and our perceptions. It is part of the illusion in which we live and which we take for real. In God's consciousness there are no divisions of time. There is only the present moment, one continuous, indivisible and indistinguishable state of existence.

     
    All I know are good cat names... But I think Lowlight is a good start! As Frank isn't a good name for dog that isn't a Dachshund.

    But I will say congrats on the new litter! Post some pictures of the whole pack when they get fully-photogenic!

    Cheers,

    Sirhr

    At that rate, go ahead and call her "Rodillera."
