Gloria’s cria Gabriella has gone home:

We’ve decided on a name for Saffron’s cria. It’s not exactly heraldic, but it *is* Medieval. According to the Book of Beasts, the “Latins” called a certain fish Mora, because it “compells vessels to stay motionless (mora=a delay).” It says, “The fish does this, not by a grip, but by sucking very hard.” Go Mora.

And finally, Latte’s wee boy:

We’re considering calling him Enfield. He’s got the big foxy ears; the white forelegs could be a nod to the eagle claws. The Enfield Repeating Rifle traditionally came “in the blue” — a dark steel color. Aaaaand, “Enfield” sounds like the name of the sort of guy who’d wear a suit all the time, like our little tuxedo boy here.
