congrats James. Your pup has been a favorite among the younguns here (the kids' post bath time entertainment lately has been a slide show of the pups). Well, to be honest, ALL the pups were favorites of the boys. We're itchin to get one next year.
Now, what's the name?

What a cutie!!! Name?
thanks guys.
Her name is going to be "Phoebe" . . . feminized and short for Gaston de Phoebus.
jt
ps. We all know who HE is. I mean, c'mon.
heh heh
Gaston III of Foix-Béarn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Gaston III, comte de Foix)
Jump to: navigation, search
Gaston III outside the Château de Pau.
Gaston III outside the Château de Pau.
Gaston III/X of Foix-Béarn, also Gaston Fébus or Gaston Phoebus (April 30, 1331 - 1391) was the 11th count of Foix, and viscount of Béarn (1343-1391). Officially, he was Gaston III of Foix and Gaston X of Béarn.
He was born in Orthez, the son of Gaston II/IX (1308-1343) and his wife Aliénor. He married Agnès (1334-1396), daughter of Philip III of Navarre and Joan II of Navarre.
Béarn had passed to the county of Foix in 1290. Count Gaston III Fébus paid homage to the king for his own county, but refused to give homage for Béarn, which he claimed as an independent fief, with its chief seat his stronghold at Pau, a site that had been fortified by the 11th century, which was later made the official capital of Béarn Province in 1464.
Jean Froissart recorded the splendor of the court of Orthez under Gaston Fébus in the latter half of the 14th century. Gaston recorded the three "special delights" of his life as "arms, love and hunting"; he wrote an important treatise on the latter entitled Livre de chasse.
He was succeeded as count of Foix by Mathieu of Foix-Castelbon.
Congratulations Jim! I hope that it was your girls who did the pickin'!
Pete
Jim: haven't left a comment over at Hunting Haiku in a while, but it's sure nice to see that you have a new pup. She looks fabulous.
Anyways, fall isn't coming soon enough. Make sure you get Her Majesty out in the woods with you. We found our first grouse this past weekend up in NH.
best
