Nah, I took that pic some time back. I do, however, only live close enough right now to only require a ~2 hour plane flight to get there.

Aaaahhh, such a cute pupper! I’m grateful you cared enough to ask, and that you are being thoughtful. Hope you have many years together!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

I had to think about this one for a while. I don’t know for sure if the name you chose would be considered offensive, but it very well might raise some eyebrows. To be safe, you might want to consider renaming them “Tikvah,” instead of “Hatikvah.” That way your dog’s name still means, “Hope,” and keeps the general idea I think you all were going for.

Another cute pic! “Hatikvah” means “The Hope” in Hebrew, and is also the name of the Israeli national anthem. Hence, my previous comment.

Great, now I’m hearing the song in my head. The joys of being Jewish clergy. Cute pupper!
