[nagdu] my new dog has a new name

[Lyn Gwizdak]

I enjoyed this post, Mardi Wolfsinger!  How do you say "Wolfsinger" in 
Lakota?  Another good name woould be Kola - friend.  I saw lots of Lakota 
words in the book Lakota Lame Deer wrote in the early 1970s.  Hope Nici 
works out well for you.  I liked that story about how you saw him and he was 
too much money and then the next year, his price came down and you got the 
money to buy him.  Maybe this is meant to be!

Hope all is well with you!

Lyn and Landon
