[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Ugh. Squeaky noises drive me bats, connie, whether in toys for tots or dogs, or coming from the tots or dogs themselves for that matter. Sorry.
The whole noble-title-as-name thing earlier in the thread sprang to mind when I came across someone named [common_firstname] Earl [common_lastname]. I've seen "Earl" as a name so much that I totally forget that it used to be a title along the lines of "Count".
Titles as first names I've come across while researching genealogy:
Master
Judge
Princess
King
Earl
LeRoy
Marshal
Royal
Baron
Colonel
Marquis
Major
Pope
General
Duke
Squire
Beej, Bartleby is adorable! I don't think I'd seen any pictures before.
One of my dad's old dogs was a cross between an Irish Wolfhound and a Doberman/Bouvier De Flandres mix. BIG dog, who looked like a brillo-coated mutant hyena. She was given up by someone who was trying to breed a Big-Ass Scary Guard Dog. Things, however, did not go as the chuckleheaded breeder planned: whenever the Big Scary Hyena Dog barked, she sounded like a Yorkie on helium.
A friend's great grandfather was born Sargeant Pepper. (in like 1885, long before the Beatles, yo)
Then he went into the military and became a physician.
I have Dr. Major Sargeant Pepper's tuxedo tails in my closet.
Pope?? As a first name??

Seriously? Whoa. That's just wrong.
I tend to consider even the 'ugliest dog' contest winningest pooch to be adorable. But once we met a chihuahua/wire-haired terrior mix with a wicked underbite on the street. Ug-to the-MUGly. Name? Chewbacca, natch!

Pope?? As a first name??Yup. I've known two in my lifetime. In both cases, blue blood families.
I'm eating soft boiled eggs with butter and salt and pepper.
Why do I not eat this EVERY day? Like a DOZEN of them?
Pope?
Good grief.
I have Dr. Major Sargeant Pepper's tuxedo tails in my closet.
Bless. That's fabulous.
