Introducing Nabu! (pics) [View all]

Back in January of this year, we lost one of our babies, Zatanna. It was a devastating blow, especially for my husband. We all mourn differently. I cried for months. He withdrew, and then I saw him constantly searching something; it was websites for chihuahuas. Eventually, we found one; his name was Milo. We drove to Arkansas in April and picked him up. He was immediately affectionate and playful.
We decided to name him, Nabu (Nah-boo) after a magical helmet in DC comics. The reason was two-fold. First, the Helmet of Nabu was worn by the comic book character, Zatanna, and the last syllable has the "oo" sound as in "Voodoo", who we lost two years ago. It was a nice combination of the memories of the two babies we had lost.

Without further ado...Nabu, a.k.a "Demon Dog". We was about 4lbs when we got him, and now weighs in at almost 9lbs!









And as "Demon Dog"!
