The Final Name

So we are left with Lady Legbar as our final name recipient. Everyone should understand how important this name is to me. I could not enter into this lightly.

Many names were considered. The favorite before she arrived was Galadriel staying along the LOTR theme of strong women with Éowyn. But when she got here it did not feel right.

Then I considered Fendi to go along with Gucci and Posi (pronounced pozzie, short for Positano). They did not suit her.

Here is our girl.

As I sat watching her it suddenly came to me and I think it is the perfect name. It pays tribute to our leghorns of old and brings their memory forward to today. In fact it brings a tear to my eye as I type this.

And best of all, it suits her

Spoiler: And the name is....

 Glynda​

For those that have not read the entire thread. It connects back to our leghorn

And in celebration, some music.

The brown girl is Amidala aka Frenchy, open your mouth and you'll get tongued

Navi is the little white girl and she is by far the smartest and sweetest.

Try 3 dozen

I'll try to get an accurate count today. We gave, traded, and bought some recently.

My sweet boy is not doing any better. In fact, this morning his eyes looked extremely yellow...like my husband's Husky when his body systems started shutting down in old age. It is time. If it is Mareks, then it has definitely spread to some organs, as @BY Bob suspected. I'll snuggle with him for a bit before, and tell him what a wonderful boy he is. I wonder just how much they understand by body language and tone. I hope he knows I love him.

Rest in peace, my sweet boy. May you be strong and well and have all the hens you wish for on the other side.
