Princess's Kids

INTRODUCTION: Character listing. Long ago, I had the Shetland sheepdog character Princess, from the King Kuts stories, "marry" the Doberman pinscher, Thor, who was so smitten with her in my writing. (Princess and Thor were the names of a real Sheltie and Doberman which lived down the road from me long ago, BTW.) They had two litters of puppies, I think, and for some bizarre reason--maybe because I was learning about some of them in school?--I decided to give them all the names of famous people in early American history. Well, except for two...but you should tell who those two are just by reading. "f" and "m" stand for "female" and "male"; "S" and "D" stand for "Sheltie" and "Doberman," whereas "M" stands for "mix."

And now I present...the definitive list of Princess's kids. Written on a torn-out sheet from a stenographer's pad; I made up Princess's kids around junior high (1989-91), but it looks like this list was written up much later.
