This is very interesting, Sinbaje. I have also read that because of the way water is recycled in reservoirs (in the UK, I don't know of other countries) such residues are causing hormonal problems in humans!
@lvoss:
Most likely L'Ox will be staying. He has been pretty insistent that he is Kinetic Interesting Times since he was born and Interesting Times is the name I have been saving my keeper red/white Nicky son.
Sometimes I also feel sorry for him having no littermates but really he doesn't seem to mind much. He just really wants to be a big dog and fit in with his pack. Yesterday he mastered climbing onto the elevated dog beds and was rewarded by having Nicky come and curl up next to the bed he layed in.
Congrats on your new addition of the pack then :) He's a lovely puppy, very nice.. :)
This probably won't help, but Deke is really short for Zindeku it means "protective charm" in swahili. Thats not his registered name. His name describes his personallity now, but not when he was a puppy. He grew into it.
