Ada

By adapar on September 25, 2008

Mi first choice was Hypatia but that name is reserved for the cat, so she remained nameless for a few hours. The abandoned mutt with a head wound, two months old, dehydrated, flea-ridden and with a few ticks was anonymous from the moment I found her abandoned near the car to half hour after the vet cleaned her up, injected her antibiotics, wrote a prescription and gave us advice.

It had to be the name of a mathematician and a woman.

Meet Ada Augusta.

  • English was only used to keep the spirit of the page but we should teach her more languages. I am thinking English, German, French and Klingon. What do you think?


    And now I realize that the spirit of the page would have been better served by Scottish. Du'h!
  • And there I was, thinking that Wedgie was something else entirely :D

    Nichts zu danken, herr Lanark. in the contrary, thanks for make me learn about such an interesting character.
  • apoloduvalis
    You're right, it works. She is so cute! Are you teaching her in English?
  • It's not a live feed but it works :)
  • ** insert bagpipe music here**


    An' ya han't seen me Wegie yet... (wegie = glaswegian)
  • Oops that was quite a quantum superposition: Amalie + Emmy => Emily?


    Could well have been Ammy, and if my memory continues worsening, will be Millie.



    Thanks for the correction, herr Duvalis.

  • I thought so because she fits the bill. As her name is "Amalie Emmy" maybe "Emily" is just a lapsus-inspired choice :)

    By the way... the crowd is demanding more photos of Ada Augusta. A webcam live feed would be ideal but regular pictures would suffice for now... ;)
  • apoloduvalis
    Are you referring, perhaps, to Emmy Noether?
  • I must confess that "Emily Noether" meant nothing to me until now. My ignorance is bottomless and that's why I love it: I can fight against it every single day. Unlike Ada whose only fight from now on will be to get some chocolate.


    And Lanark, is that your Scottish accent I feel?
  • Aye, Hypatia is much better for a cat. This wee one looks a little bit more of an Emily Noether. Perhaps the name could reflect the fact that she is going to have a quite easier life than poor lassie Hypatia. At least, from now on.
  • Thanks mon ami. I'll post more photos in a few days.
  • Cuando ví la foto en el msn, como es pequeña y estaba sin gafas, creí que tenía un moño morado, al entrar a la página y ver ya la foto real y la explicación, las pupilas de toda la tribu se mojaron, un pequeño ser que encontró amor, la vida es muy linda y siempre nos dice algo.

    Hey, she is so cute! Congratulations :)
