My Australian Cattle dog Sydney had a litter of puppies on June 20, 2000. I wanted to track their progress so I named them after vaccum cleaners because they were "little sucking machines". There was Eureka, Hoover, Kirby, Oreck, Dirt Devil and Dust Buster to name a few. All the pups found good homes and we decided to keep Eureka because she was Sydney's first born. It was Sydney's first litter and she really didn't realize what was happening until Eureka was born. Eureka means "discovery" and it is also the California state motto (I am a state worker). All the other pups were re-named but Eureka kept her puppy name. Eureka lost her right front leg to bone cancer on April 24, 2008. She is doing amazingly well. We now call her "the amazing Eureka!"
