its our first time that we celebrate the b-day of america :D
Sanne wen to the shop to by stuff to celebrate she wanna buy a america flag but the didnt have one :( she wanna have a big flage so she could take photo with us in the front
well she was disipointed but then the idea our 3 funky furiends did a 4the july party in hawaii theme
so did we :) this is a speciale photo fur you!
HAPPY 4the of july!!!
we love the name game and we think why did you human choose EL'BOW and HAUWII omd!
so we will tell ...
EL'BOW
why el'bow? sanne will tell
We had to choose a name with a E (its a belguim law that dogs with a pedigree must begin with the letter in that year)
We were think think fur a funky and original name the name that came was :
Elvis, Elliot (that was our favo name until we choose el'bow), Ewok, Eskimo, Ellias, Eal, Edward
Until that moment we are a crazy family so we have lots of crazy moment . we were riding to look at the puppys again and i sleep out the car and felt (i dont know how!) and landed on my el'bow and i had a big booboo. so i sad would it be funny if we call him El'bow?
and El'bow was the name!
And we arent sorry about that crazy name it just perfect fur him!
or Dancing Elvis the mastiff would be funny to hahaha :-)
HAUWII
Why hauwii?
Hauwii was my first dog that i buy so i can choose anything i like fur name but it had to start with a H.
oh that was a challenge i like
Hippy, Happy, Hippo, Howard, Henrie, Hercules
and it coudent end we the same sound as el'bow
Then i was thinking about my teen years. i was a very very big fan of the backstreetboys :D hahaha
and ther is a Howie in the group that was cool!
as you know we what it a bit special so
you speek it like howie but you right HAUWII
haha the owner of the munsterlanderkennel always says HAWAII haha

Thanks for helping us to celebrate the 4th of July! I love the story of El'Bow and Hauwii's names!
ReplyDeleteBoth boys look great in flowers! I think they must have some Hawiian back among their ancesters.
ReplyDeleteI love both El'bow's and Hauwii's name; moreso now that I know how they got them!
Ah, thanks for the tip, I had been pronouncing Hauwii's name wrong in my head all this time!
ReplyDeletePawesome post!

Hi guys! we popped over from Dennis' place. nice to meet you. come say hi sometime, when you get a chance.
ReplyDeleteyour pals, Morgan & Maisie
Hi guys - we love your names and have often wondered how you got them, especially El'bow!! Great post! And cool holiday photos too, you two are so cool! Schnauzer snuggles - JD and Max.
ReplyDeleteThat is funny how El'bow got his name. But it totally suits him. Hey! We haven't forgotten your birthday. Don't worry.

What cool stories! When I first met Hauwii back in the sporty dog group at MangoMinster I kept reading it Hawaii then I thought about it some and realized it is pronounced like Howie! Very cute Name! El'bow is funny too ;-) I assumed it meant something else in another language... he he very funny it is really Elbow!
ReplyDeleteWe like yer stories. We're glad they don't have that naming rule here beclaws me and Meja would not be us. Since we were born in the same year/same litter I guess we'd be Meja and Mobo or Bobo and Beja.
ReplyDeleteNot the same...
Bobo and Meja
We want you to know. Our Moma loves reading your blog 'cause it reminds her of the "good old days" when she lived in Antwerpen so many many years ago. (She lived on ... okay ... bear with us ... d'Roost d'Alkemadelan. Then on Koningen Elisabethlei. Then on Lappersbrug. How's that for an attempt at memory and spelling?) Anyhow, just tonight the family was remembering two things. The ice cream truck that used to drive by and serve coffee ice cream with yummy Belgian chocolate sauce. And the extra yummy bread from the bakery just down the street. You are sooooo lucky to live in such a cool place. We love reading about your days and adventures.
ReplyDeleteOh! The little poodle born there was Tia. T was the letter. If you the math, and go back many generations ... you'll figure out when she was born! Ha! Can you count back that far?
Keep your stories coming,
Jake and Fergi (and Moma)
Yes, very original name stories!! I always wondered, El'bow, if your name had the same meaning as it did in english! :-) But tell me - why do you put an apostrophe in the middle of it? Why not just "Elbow"? That is why I thought it must have a different meaning in Dutch!
