The phrase "To thine own self be true" has really resonated with me over the past few months. In context, it is ironic given the speaker, Polonius, and his blunders both before and after the advice that he gives Laertes, but the phrase itself stands alone as good advice and is frequently quoted out of context for that purpose. It has encapsulated my feelings about the litter.
Jazz herself was bred when we saw A Midsummer's Night Dream one hot July weekend, and almost exactly 9 weeks after the production (some 9 weeks and 12 hours) these little beauties were born. My favorite play is Hamlet, but I quickly realized during a rewatching that its grim tone didn’t lend itself well to the registered names of happy, bouncy, healthy Saluki puppies, so I opted for a broader, more approachable theme-- Shakespeare.
The litter itself is somewhat indulgent for me because it is my first litter where it is really "mine" and the Shakespearean theme is equally indulgent to someone who teaches literature as a full time job. Jazz herself was born in my house a little over four years ago in the very room where she gave birth, and since she was the only girl in my litter, all of my hopes and dreams were put on her shoulders. She became my first bred-by champion just after her second birthday. Shortly after the birth of her puppies, she became the first Saluki to get a CHIC number, from the scheme that I managed to pass through while chairing Health & Genetics during her pregnancy. Her expression reflects her sire whom I lost too soon. And while none of these babies will ever be him, I’m comforted knowing there will still be little Najib grandchildren running around, loved and adored by their families.
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
