She is usually a wild-eyed whirlwind and a natural enemy to in-focus photography. I feel so lucky to have captured this :)

    Another cute pic! “Hatikvah” means “The Hope” in Hebrew, and is also the name of the Israeli national anthem. Hence, my previous comment.

      Oh goodness. I knew the translation, but I hadn’t realized it was the name of an anthem. I’m not sure their mom knows either. I’m Swedish and she is from Ukraine, but neither of us are Jewish.

      Could our naming be considered offensive?

        I had to think about this one for a while. I don’t know for sure if the name you chose would be considered offensive, but it very well might raise some eyebrows. To be safe, you might want to consider renaming them “Tikvah,” instead of “Hatikvah.” That way your dog’s name still means, “Hope,” and keeps the general idea I think you all were going for.

          Thank you for this. Then I won’t go through the bureaucracy of changing her official paperwork since we already mostly use the shorter Tikvah. I’ll just stop using her full name in public and in writing :)
