A Night to Remember

Izzy turns two today.  Today-ish; we don't know his exact birthdate, but April 15th is the date his namesake, Isidor Straus, went down with the Titanic.  Isidor's wife Ida was lost too, because she refused to board a lifeboat without her husband.  "I'm not getting in the boat," she was heard to say, or more probably, "Ich komme im Boot nicht!"  Now that's liebe.

Izzy's original name was Colby.  We changed it to Isadore because he is adorable.  And because, like the Strauses, he knows how to love.  And because no self-respecting dog wants to be named after a cheese.  Unless it's Wensleydale.
