A Bit About Sunni

Introducing “Evening Song’s Morning Light”. Miss Starla has an important role to fill here.

​

The name is taken from a breakfast camp song that my family sang every morning of my childhood, hearkening back to my parents’ days as camp counsellors at Camp Roger in Michigan.

​

“We thank Thee for the morning light.

For rest and shelter all the night.

For health and food and love and friends.

For everything Thy goodness sends.

Amen”

​

Her call name will be "Sunni" which is a reference to "Your mercies are new every morning", Lamentations 3:23.

​

Sunni will stay as a farm worker, agility or dog sport partner, and a (potential) next breeding female, the beginning of the next chapter of Evening Song English Shepherds.​

​

She is just as well suited to have a litter with Steady, in the future.

​

We are excited to see her reach her potential, and to integrate into the daily chores and training here!!!

​

And I love to have a song with a video that goes along with a name, even if it's two songs for one little pup. I heard this song on the the local K-LOVE station, driving to my friend's home, when we still were not sure if Starla was staying...

​

Instead of jumping right into our scheduled meeting, I had to look it up on my phone and send the video to myself. (The weird ways that my brain works.) LOL! But that was my moment, when I knew she would stay.

​

The phrase "He made His mercies new, 'cause He knew we'd forget" jumped out at me on that day... I thought, the pup could be named "Mercy"...

​

But the song goes on to say "There's never been a morning where the sun don't rise". There you go. "Sunni"

​

We Are Messengers, with "A Thousand Times".

He made His mercies new, 'cause He knew we'd forget

All the things He's done, And just how good He is

He's a faithful God, every word is true

And He always does just what He says He'll do.

​

(There's never been a morning when the sun don't rise)

​

From Evening Song Starry Night, her mama, to Evening Song's Morning Light, the beginning of the next chapter.

​

It is perfect.
