I have spent too much time trying to think of a name for this new four legged friend. Many names were discussed and debated and many factors came to play in how this dog would be summoned.
Finally, this past Tuesday the decision was made. He now wears a name tag which says: "Silas".
In the naming process, I was attempting to play with the languages I'm familiar with from living in Europe for sometime, but sadly nothing seemed to fit.
The first night Silas was home, my parents came to visit and welcome him to the family. He quickly became comfortable with the three of us, as he lay in the middle of the floor sprawled out comfortably.
As we discussed various name possibilities and how life will change with an adopted retired greyhound. My four legged black rug then let out a very contented and loud sigh and continued to do so throughout the evening.
Thus "Silas" is shortened to "Si" which is pronounced "Sigh" which suits him perfectly. Come visit me and I know you'll agree.

How nice for you to give your dog a Lithuanian name! :) Well, Greek perhaps, but common in Lithuania male name;)Cheers!
