Doggysattva

I like Peaceable Pooch but I would spell it Doggiesattva. The hippies will get it.

My Mom sent me an email where she remarked that Dad told her he saw me get a hug from the icky bro-in-law but that she managed to avoid touching him all day. The subject line of the email? "I win."

Thanks Laga. I called a friend to get a reaction and when I said doggysattva out loud, it didn't work at all. It was one of those funny only to me moments.

Peaceable Pooch it is. Domain bought and all.

doggysattva totally works out loud for me. I'm pronouncing it like the Steely Dan Boddhisattva song, so "dog GIE sat Va". But yeah it might be too intellectual for the average consumer.

More praise for Omnis_Audis: My brother's wife said she was really glad you were there, too.

I love it. Especially your pronunciation. But practicality will out.

Peaceable Pooch puts it right out there...no thought required. Making it easy is the key, I suppose.

Once I finish completing my main site...which is thisclose thank goodness...I'm going to have to create a logo with Bartleby sitting on a lotus flower or some such. Should be fun!

There will be a plane here at 9! ...but no crew until 10:45. And now weather in LA is bad? Argh.

Love the name, Bonny.

Glad you had a great time with the fam, Laga and Omnis.

Go d!

Airport food scares me and I really wish that the "free public wifi" popping up on my Mac was legitimate, but I think it's likely a fisher. Damn!

Thanks for all the well-wishes, everyone. It really does help.

Damn, K, that sucks. Though, yay for phone internet, even if no wifi? Eesh.

Yeah, it got really windy and cold here all of a sudden.

Yes, yay for blackberry internet, limited and slow though it may be. The first-world woe that I have with that is just that I'm running out of things to watch on my inherited video iPod and can't download more. Ironically, the iPod had plenty of room for TV shows, movies, etc, but I can only download a few at a time because my laptop doesn't have enough room. Otherwise, I would have downloaded a lot more last night just in case.

My poor laptop is getting pwned by a year-old iPod.

I think this is the better choice, because I don't think you want to depend on a target audience of Americans savvy enough of that lingo to have "peace" be the first thing that comes to mind instead of being twelve and running first to the Kama Sutra. Which, I am sad to say, is me, at least. Unfortunately my store of Buddhist words and phrases is rather limited. So while it would not be hard to imagine that your prospect client base might be more educated than I, I'm not sure it would protect you from some weird inquiry calls.

running first to the Kama Sutra.

This is such a good point. It never even occurred to me.

The Doggy Lama would have worked, but my efforts to build on that cuteness just fell short. This was one of those cases where 'clever' is just plain a bad idea.

I'm liking Peaceable more as each moment passes. My clients really are 'able' to have a balanced, peaceful dog with a couple of simple shifts in perspective.

I tried a lot of variables to include all pets but I have to confess that I'm really only going to work with dogs. The cat angle will be covered by my podcast guests. My only contribution to the cat management world is 'every dog wants a job, every cat wants an employee.'
