Your chinese friend was right it is pronounced 'shee-ah' - the word Xin is pronounced 'sheen'

Thanks hun! Guess what? The blue girl's pet name (ie Xia's litter sister) is Xin! I actually like the sound of "Shee-ah" and "Sheen" better than Zia and Zin

Erm.. I think I pronounce her name wrong every time I attempt to say it lol. I usually pronounce the X as a Z so it sounds more like Zanyang, but thats probably wrong. Cleos breeder has told me many time,s but I always forget
When deciding on our Affix, I really wanted something Chinese, but decided that it would be far too much of a mouthful.
