Lizzie is
named after the Firelizards from the books of the Dragons of Pern,
author Ann McCaffrey.
As Ann McCaffrey is not pleased with everyone using her characters
for just about everything, I obtained the permission of
Ann McCaffrey to use her characters for names for my future puppies
long before Lizzie was born.
We even discussed a proper kennel name, based on the Pern characters
but in the end I went with Starcastle Hounds (my name means star
fortress) instead
I am forever
grateful and indebted to Ann McCaffrey for this honor!
