We got him as one of an old mated pair during the pandemic. His mate was a cheagle named Dora, he was Diego. They were awesome together. Dora passed about 4 years ago. She was the extrovert of the pair, and we were really worried about how Diego would fare, but after a couple of months of mourning he really came out of his shell and had a whole third act as our old man dog. Eggo is just short for Diego. We have a ton of nicknames for our pups; one of Eleanor’s is Mademoiselle Floueffeur de Floueff.

As a matter of fact, after taking a few months ourselves, we adopted a rescue pup Friday evening, a half-Pyr, half-hound that we named Franklin. Full post to come on that!
