EllenEveBaz Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 This morning I heard all sorts of different squeaky sounds from the living room -- it was Gelsey, trying out her new stuffies. She barks thank you, thank you! The sea life theme is original -- who else gets a holiday seahorse? The treats will be put up on the shelf, ready for future indulgence. And I know I'll enjoy the Charleston coffee and houndie earrings. I've been meaning to tell you that I looked up the meaning of the word galoot, since that's your cute nickname for Roman. It was used as early as the 12th century to mean a sailor or oarsman (sometimes with negative connotations) on a sailing galley, with variations in several languages. Our galoot probably came from the Dutch, which just meant sailor. That seems particularly apt, given your job related to the maritime industry. I have this vision of Roman hiding out on a big vessel from Holland, and then hopping off when he got to Charleston harbor.
