For some reason the one photo with Michael and his Spitz [Post #368] didn't copy.  Here is the URL:

Where did Alexei come up with the name Joy?

I don't know why Alexei named his dog "Joy".

This was rare on another thread, you may have seen it, but I think it's appropriate for this.


Great friendship!

Yes, it was not easy but I've finally found the letter. :-) I've found it in the German book "Alexej, der Sohn des letzten Zaren" (Alexei, the son of the last Tsar) by Elisabeth Heresch.

Alexandra sent the letter to Alexei on October 31, 1914. As I only have the letter in German, here's my translation (only the part in which Alexandra mentions Joy):

"...What about your dog? He follows (your command) better when you call him "Joy". That means "joy" (the original word here was in Russian) in English."

Here is my copy in German:

"...Und dein Hund? Er folgt besser, wenn du ihn "Joy" rufst, das heißt auf Englisch "Freude"."  

This was found under section of Alexei and his pet Joy.

 Alexis and Joy
 
From Tukker-ragazzo's collection. 10

1914
Hi,me again! More Pic.of our dear tsarevich:
1914,Crimea,Livadia:

...[in part]....

Joy looks fairly young here. Are there any earlier photos?

Which photo is earlier?

I am taking liberation and posting something that might not be necessarily on topic for this thread... completely. It's a rare image (to me anyway) but it's of Alexei and not OTMA. It's too bad this wasn't a "Rare Picture" thread.

I was emailed this lovely image of Alexei earlier by Mr. Davies. New to me, and it seems to be in the same time and place as the first picture Mr. Davies sent me.

Enjoy

The last one you posted was certainly taken earlier than the one I had posted. I don't recall seeing any Alexei's photos in 1913 with Joy.

Unless...Is this Joy?



I also got no clue when this one might have been taken...Anyone? 1913?

Don't see the white around the nose, chest and freckled forelegs that Joy had.

Yes, you are correct. In the last photo, the white doors behind the Joy reminds me of those in Governor's Mansion at Tobolsk. Thought that one could have been at Stavka as well.
