Our "babies" in November '03
Our "kids" in May '04
(Look how long Lisa's hair has grown :-)
The larger, multi-colored one is male, and named Ozu. He is named after the Japanese film director, Yasujiro Ozu, who was famous for his low-angle camera work. A camera mounted on a really low tripod is called a "doggy cam". We figure that Yasujiro would have appreciated our Ozu's point of view on the world.
I learned later that the word ozu means "little wave" in Japanese. If you've ever seen a Peke walk, you'll appreciate the serendipity in the name.
