Puppy Named. The Angels Rejoice.

Thanks to everyone who sent their best wishes for our new family member from Australia.

We have named him Clancy after Clancy of the Overflow, a well known poem by Australian poet Banjo Paterson. Clancy lived an idealized rural life, compared to “the dusty dirty city” and "the round eternal of the cashbook and the journal." Which describes our own choice of a life of rural travel.

Paterson also wrote the song Waltzing Matilda. And Clancy made an appearance in Paterson’s poem Man From Snowy River.

No, we didn’t know any of this either. Just shows that there’s more to them Aussies than kangaroos and eucalyptus trees! And very cute dogs!!
