I had dreamed for a while that if Rasmuses brother Remu would have progeny someday, I would like to have a puppy of that litter. I had followed him grow and seen his results and met him many times and had nothing bad to say about him. So when Kirsti told me about the plans to mate Khaos Zany "Mira" with Remu, I was naturally excited and reserved a male puppy from the upcoming litter.

As it then turned out, our family extended with a new member, Noki-saluki, over a half year before Remu x Mira litter was due. It seemed I couldn't take yet another dog to live with us, since Noki was still just a youngster when the long expected afghan hound puppies  arrived into the world. Still I couldn't let go of my dream of Remu's puppy, and luckily I found out that one of my friends, Laura-Elina wanted to fill her big dream of getting an afghan hound and it seemed to be a good timing to her too. She was also interested in this same litter I was, so I decided to change my reservation for a female puppy and we would then buy the puppy together with Laura-Elina.

We were at second place on the reservation list for female-puppies, as Lena, who is the owner of the dam Mira, was at first place naturally. The whelping started around 6 pm and it seemed like all of the puppies had been born until 9 pm. There was just one girl among them.. Laura-Elina and me were almost certain that we had not been lucky enough to have a puppy this time, but Myy was just keeping us excited! There was then a few hour pause in the delivery, but at 11.30 pm it started again and Myy was suddenly born! She was the last one of the litter, and had a starshaped mark on her forehead. Oh how happy we were!

Eventually when old enough Myy moved to Ikaalinen.  She lives there now with Laura-Elina, her boyfriend and Bambi-saluki as her big sister. Her brother Nemo also lives nearby and she has even more friends living at Laura-Elina's parents household (swedish vallhund Inkkari and finnish reindeer herder Pihla) so she sure does have friends to play with.

Myy was named after a character of Tove Jansson's Moomin books, little My. And could there be a name more describing! Just like her excemplar, she is also proven to be very outgoing, temperamental, energetic and self-assured youngster. 

Myy has also attended a few trackracing practises and shown great enthusiasm when chasing the lure! Also obedience training seems to be fun for her! Later on she will also attend shows and we will follow her development with great interest.
