"And you. So," said Susitna, "What should we name them? There's 3 girls and 2 boys.". The black-and-gray one looked somewhat wolfish, and was a little bigger than the others. So I said "Let's name him Stadka. The black one with the gray eyepatches, let's call her Taiya.". Susitna said "Those are nice. And the others?". "The all-black one by your front legs, let's call her Dvina.". "I like that. Let's call the other two Arigo and Nakeen.". "I love them all.", I said. Steele looked on from outside.   STEELE                                 I saw Balto and Susitna name their pups, and I felt happy for him. As a friend. I walked away, smiling. The sunny day matched my mood at the moment. A pretty Husky named Leona came up beside me, and we talked for a minute. "Steele, want to watch the sun set later?" she said. I said "Sure."                 A few hours later, we walked to a snow hill, sat down, and watched the sun set.
