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??
came across someone named [common_firstname] Earl [common_lastname]
Like...James Earl Jones? :)

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?
NATLBSB!
Aaaand suddenly I'm awash with nostalgia. Didn't that predate COMM?

Seriously? Whoa. That's just wrong.
What made it really sad is that she was the biggest sweet-potato-marshmallow of a lovey dog. It wasn't her fault that her head was 90% jaw w/ big sharp pointy teeth.
