Now I am as much of a dog lover as anyone, but I would never be so cruel as to name my dog “Spot”, even if I had a dog, even Michael Vick wasn’t that cruel! Dogs are one of God’s creatures also, and should be given at least that much respect, but many people can’t even do that! But if you did have a dog named "Spot", and you wanted to get rid of him, could you use "spot remover"? "Spot" is what you call a stain on your carpet, not a dog! But I suppose that would be a suitable name until you could house-break the dog ... and if he only craps on the oriental rug, it should be an Asian breed, like a Pug, Akita, Chow-Chow, etc., just so that you would be politically correct!
What I want to know is, what is your pet’s name – tell me; what is the name of your pet, tell me what kind of pet it is, and what the name is. I think this will be interesting to find out what people name their pets.
As I am writing this, the telephone repairman is here with me fixing my telephone line, so I decided to ask him [Terry] if he had a dog; and if so, what is the name of the dog. Terry admits that it is not really “his” dog, but rather his girlfriend’s dog, which probably means the dog, will not listen to him, and is only obedient to his girlfriend. Anyway, Terry’s girlfriend’s dog is a Dachshund named “Penny”; and if you happen to be familiar with the breed at all, you can imagine what Penny is like: a Dachshund who wont listen to Terry, stubborn as a rock, probably sits at the foot of the bed and growls at them when they make love, loves the mailman and hates the telephone repairman.
When Terry returned from testing my phone line from outside the apartment, I asked him if my assumptions about his dog were correct, and he began to chuckle and said, “You hit the nail on the head”. My perception of a dog I had never met was exactly right.
Currently, I don’t have a dog, but my last dog was a Labrador Retriever named “Tar Baby” and she was awesome in the field, the water, and on the golf course. Now, before hearing a bunch of shit about the dog’s name being racist, and that I treated the dog like a slave for retrieving golf balls, let me say that “Tar Baby” was the dog’s name when I bought her, because the stud dog was quartered in North Carolina; I did not name the dog. If you are familiar with North Carolina history, the “tar” is associated with working in the tobacco fields and the stain it leaves on your feet, hence the name “North Carolina Tar Heels” [name of University of North Carolina’s basketball team].
I am considering getting another dog, and will choose between a Boston Terrier, Jack Russell Terrier, Airedale Terrier, and a Chesapeake Bay Retriever. Of course I have not settled on a name, because that very much depends upon the personality of the dog and the particular breed I settle on. That should tell you quite a bit about my personality by looking at the breeds I would consider; obviously I value loyalty, because that is a trademark of all terriers, and retrievers have an insatiable desire to please their master at any cost. The truth is there are many other breeds I would also consider, just because I love dogs, but those choices should tell you something about the person I am.
What I am curious about is, what kind of dog [pet] you have, the name of the pet, and something unusual that the dog does that makes it a unique pet; and don’t forget to tell me how much you love your pet also! They say you can tell allot about the owner by the type of dog they have; now, don’t get all flustered just because you don’t have a dog/pet, tell me what kind of dog/pet you would like to have if you could, and why you would love to have that pet so much.
Breed:
Name:
Unique Characteristic:
Leave me a comment telling me these three things, and then stop back to this post later to see what other people have written about their pets also, OK … READY, SET, GO!
