...dares to name puppies after super heroes...

This post could alternatively be called ...dares to love again... because, after 6 months of grieving our beautiful little Cavoodle girl Indy, my little family & I have opened our hearts to a new puppy.

Our 9 month old black ball of joy, Indy, was tragically and traumatically taken from us in a random dog attack in March this year. And it sucked big time. My heart broke, I experienced a deep grief for the first time ever, and my faith in God as a protector was shaken - but not broken. I might blog more about Indy, my first baby, another time, but my husband Matt and I got through it. We turned to God rather than away from Him, and let the healing process occur naturally.

A huge step after that was getting another baby girl Cavoodle, Polly. Who is an incredible character, quite different from Indy in many ways and yet also very similiar in others. We adopted Polly at the start of August this year.

Polly is short for Polaris, who is a female member of the X-men. She just happens to be good friends with another X-men character, Colossus, which works well since our Polly absolutely adores her big brother, our Setter Colossus :)

Polly & Colossus

Matt is a MASSIVE comic book/superhero fan (more about that later) and I love that we name our puppies after superheroes - people/creatures who don't just want to save the world, they go about doing it.
