Photos of Romana, her 3 sisters and their parents

Romana and her three (3) sisters were born on Monday, 06 July 1998
(1998 is the Chinese year of the 'Tiger'; and, 22 June - 23 July is the Star Sign 'Cancer')
The litter consisted of 2 sable & white and 2 black & white long-haired Chihuahua puppies
Romana is one of the sable & white puppies in the images below
Each puppy was approximately 4oz (that is, ~115g) at birth
The registered name of the breeder's kennel is "Chiberovaes" and is located in Queanbeyan, NSW
Romana's registered name and number are "Chiberovaes Two Hearts" and "9100001171", respectively
Note: Timelords (see below) have 'two hearts'. However, I understand that Romana's registered name,
and those of her 3 sisters, come from the titles of songs by Sir Cliff Richard
So, was Romana's registered name a sign that she was meant for me?
See the Chihuahua web site links below for more information on this breed of dog
[I have also included links to the homepages for these web sites and some K9 records]

Images are in date taken order and, where possible, also in exposure order

The name, Romana, is derived from the name of a companion in the BBC-TV Sci-Fi series 'Dr Who'
Her full name is Romanadvoratrelundar and she was also a Timelord (well, Timelady)

With the introduction, this year (2002), of 4 Neuter Classes (Classes 15 thru' 18) I am now able to enter Romana in those Championship Shows which have chosen to at least include Class 18 ('Open Neuter') in their Show lineup. Since this new class was introduced, we have entered all of the local shows which have included the Neuter class and have, on all occasions, won "Best Neuter in Breed" and in almost all of these have got as far as being able to compete in the "Best Neuter in Show" or "General Special" event on the program.

Travelled with the following:

Romana chose to regenerate on a whim. She selected Princess Astra of the planet Atrios as a model for her second form. This Romana is more light-hearted than the first. She likes red wine and has her own sonic screwdriver.

Romana II knows martial arts.

Adric enters the story in "Full Circle", during Season 18, and becomes a stowaway aboard the TARDIS at the end of this story. Meanwhile, Romana II departs at the end of "Warrior's Gate" which also marked the end of Season 18.
