After asking the rooster formally known as Dottie, multiple times, what he would like to be called, the name Valtaris came to me early one morning. I was gently awakened and I could feel a presence. "I am Valtaris."
Still somewhat in a daze I asked, "Who are you?" And before I could receive a response, I knew it was Dottie.
"I am Valtaris." He repeated. "My name is Valtaris." He said again, just in case I hadn't heard it the first two times.
" Valtaris it is, but you know John is still going to call you Dave? or Donnie?" If a rooster could smile, I felt him smile.
I wanted to thank everyone who offered a name for the Rooster. When I asked you for suggestions, I knew that I would either receive a name via one of you or the rooster would finally offer me a name.
