As I dance and sing I notice the Lhedis who's approached me with the ball I dropped, and I smile, taking it and continuing to sing before throwing it for her to go catch. She seems to love the ball so I watch as she chases after it and brings it back again, tail wagging. She's gorgeous and obviously playful.

By now I've stopped my dancing but I'm still singing quietly, and I kneel in front of her and pet her. I was hoping for a girl, what with the song I chose, and I sang happily to her, "Noona neomu yeppeooo.." She wagged her tail and I pet her so more. "It means Noona, you're so pretty..and you are so pretty..you look like the remnants of a lightning strike..like some electric current is flowing through yo--" I stop and think about it for a second. "Maybe that's why you're so hyper and playful? Kaede just lies around on his lazy butt all day and when I get up from the bed he takes over. Maybe you can get him up. He's brown like you too..you two would look perfect in a photo together." I smile and she wags her tail, dropping the ball at my feet.

Immediately, I know what to name her, as I'd looked the name up before. "How about I name you Elysia?It's from Greek Pedion Elysion, the name of the heavenly fields of Elysia, a section of the Underworld mentioned in Greek mythology. The mythological place name may have evolved from the designation of a place, or person, struck by lightning (enelysion, enelysios); if so, the name means "lightning-struck."

Of course she barks happily and wags her tail and I smile and move to hug her and pet her more. I get up and she picks the ball back up, proudly claiming her prize as her own and no one else's from this day forward as we walk.

As we walk I go back to singing and dancing, changing the lyrics a little. "Elysia neomu yeppeooo.." <3
