It was short for "Boswell Johnson". I've no idea, before you ask... Actually, no. It was short for “Boswell Johnson”. I’ve no idea, before you ask…

Aw, CG - I guess I'm just gonna have to kennel Harley Dog when you come to visit (even though, he is a sweetheart of a dawg). ES gets mad when we pronounce it dawg. In his crazy teenage jargon, he likes to call it a doge (rhymes with vogue). He got in trouble one day when a neighbor dog was barking at his friend's house. He kept yelling over there saying, "Stupid doge, stupid doge!" and then realized that the owner was standing nearby.

Thanks for the info on the Scotties. Just like anything there's a lot of detailed and interesting information about most any topic out there. I always thought Toto was some sort of terrier.

Which is to say, he was black with bits of gray to break up the black. Like salt and peppery. The white is a West Highland Terrier. Pet peeve: People think the dog in The Wizard of Oz movie is a Scottie. It's NOT. I don't know what it is, but it is not a Scottie. In the books, Toto looks more like a Scottie, but in the movie, they did not use one. Don't ask me why - I think they screwed the movie, anyway! (Oz is REAL in the books.) Most Scotties are fairly clannish, actually. Rags was more open, and I think you're right - he was "special"... and was so glad to be loved, he just spread it around to nearly everyone.

So they're lithe and bumbling, eh?

In our boys' case they're greyhounds crossed with Saluki. Or possible greyhound crossed with baked potato, given their idiocy.

For a minute I thought your hamster was named Cindy. I love it when a pet has a person's name. When my 9-year-old moves out of the house (she's allergic to cats and has asthma) I'm getting another cat and naming him Gary. Just like SpongeBob's pet snail.

I love the fact that you refuse to let a dog shit on your lawn. I'm right there with you and my lawn ain't even close to manicured. And I will have nightmares for a while, Michelle, now that I know your SIL has a <b>RAT IN THE HOUSE BY CHOICE!!</b> I like pets who have a longer name but go by the shortened version most of the time.

I had to quick Google the Scottish Terrier just to see if I was thinking of the right dog. I was. Do they only come in black or white? If so, that's sort of an awesome feature right there.
