SANTA'S ADORABLE REINDEERS
Published : December 31, 2011
My very own Santa's Reindeers
"Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"
~The Night Before Christmas (A Visit From St. Nicholas) by Clement Clarke Moore~
Two of our family dogs named Nina and Daz gave birth to beautiful puppies this quarter. These dogs are related to each other as Nina is Daz' daughter. Our family loves dogs and they have been part of our lives since I was a child. Nina had five (5) healthy puppies and Daz had eight (8), however, sad to say only two of them live so the remaining two pups are the lucky ones. My stepmom said, Daz is not supposed to give birth yet so most of her pups did not live. One day, I was thinking of giving them names and in the spirit of Christmas, Santa's Reindeers came into my mind. Santa Claus originally has eight reindeers, who magically pull his sleigh through the sky. They are named Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donder and Blitzen. There is another reindeer named Rudolf from the story "Rudolf, The Red Nose Reindeer" written by Robert May in 1939 and became popular and no.1 hit song in 1949 sang by Gene Autry. Due to this popularity, Rudolf became Santa's 9th reindeer, the lead reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve with a glowing red nose.
The
Father and Mother : Batibot and Nina. Actually they are siblings but
they were not born at the same time. Nina is about a year older than
Batibot.
HERE ARE NINA'S PUPPIES : Born October 9, 2011
CUPID
Cupid
flies straight as an arrow, with a keen sense of direction that always
keeps him on course. He is usually harnessed alongside Comet and always
hitched at the lead of the team. He is a very loving reindeer.
COMET
Comet can
be relied on to stay on course no matter how strongly the winds
blow. He displays a unique leadership ability. He is not as fast at
Blitzen but fast enough to give the lightning-fast reindeer a run for
his money. He is always hitched with Cupid at the lead.
BLITZEN
Blitzen
is the fastest reindeer in the sleigh team. He has more determination
and never backs out of any challenge. Blitzen is the German word for
“lightning”. He is the second strongest reindeer and always hitched with
Donder right next to the sleigh.
DASHER
Dasher
is always ready and willing with lots of energy to spare. He is known
for his short burst of speed and energy. Usually harness alongside
Prancer, helping to fill the team with enthusiasm for the journey.
PRANCER
Prancer
is full of fun and energy. He displays a tremendous amount of
confidence and the most majestic of all the reindeers. If ever the
sleigh team is flagging, it needs only to look to Prancer to put a
spring back in its step.
Father and Mother : Pom-Pom and Daz
HERE ARE DAZ' PUPPIES : Born November 16, 2011, These are the lucky ones who survived out of eight puppies
RUDOLF
The
newest member of Santas team Rudolph is smaller than the other
reindeer, he makes up for it by having more heart and more stamina than
the rest, plus that very special nose…At night and during bad weather he
guides the sleigh and lights the way.
VIXEN
He
is very clever and strong-willed. He can be relied upon to never give
up, even in the worst weather. He has great strength and stamina.
Usually harnessed alongside Dancer.
I only have seven (7) puppies so I am missing Dancer and Donder but here is something about these two reindeers
DANCER
Dancer's legs are strong and muscular and slightly longer than those of other reindeer. He displays flair and elegance. The most graceful reindeer in the team, although not the largest.
DONDER OR DONNER
Donder is the most powerful of the reindeer. His hoof beats sound like the rumble of distant thunder. In fact, Donder, means “thunder” in German. He’s always harnessed alongside Blitzen nearest to the sleigh where his strength is most usefull to control the weight of the fully loaded sleigh. Sometimes his name is spelled Donner.
