[voxtexy]

Owner: envious.
Name: Annabel Lee
Name Meaning: A snippet of Edgar Allen Poe's poem- Annabel Lee

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we—
Of many far wiser than we—
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee:

For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling—my darling—my life and my bride,
In her sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

[Firedancer77]

Owner: Firedancer77
Name: The Highwayman
Name Meaning: Named after Alfred Noyes’ poem, The Highwayman. He often seems like a ghost, hanging about silently like the odd dog that he is. He also is a little less well-behaved, sometimes stealing things from the handler when he wants more attention than he’s getting. That bad habit is being worked on though.
Gender: Male

[Chanceuxcat]

Owner: Chanceuxcat
Name: Forged in Fire - aka Blade
Name Meaning: From J.R.R. Tolkien's poem/quote All That Is Gold Does Not Glitter, the line
"Renewed shall be blade that was broken"
- I feel like it means what once was "broken" has become stronger, and it reminds me of firelight reflecting off a sword, just strong in general The whole poem feels like it's awakening a power deep within. This collie is sweet, but gets a little hyper and flashy while competing. She loves doing any events/shows (as long as she is in front of people lol) and behaves well for her handler even if she is excited.
Gender: Female
