* I wish the little Italian Frida had a different name because now I have to make a footnote to say, “Not the same Frida as the previous chapter’s Frida.” The Croatian Frida was named after the song “Frida” by the Croatian pop-punk group Psihomodo Pop. The family had to come up with a name that started with F since all the pups of the litter were supposed to get names starting with F. As Matea was thinking of a name, she heard the song, which starts with lyrics that translate to “Frida was my queen.” “I knew Frida was going to be so important to us, like a queen, so it was perfect,” she says.
