    My dear friend Suzanne Carpenter had a little dog named Lucky. Damn thing was suicidal. Pretty much every time it ever got loose, which happened way too often if you want to know my opinion, it would end up in the road and then get run over. I honestly lost count of how many times that dog got hit by cars. Lucky would also seek out chocolate and acquire it by any means necessary. It ate so much chocolate that it eventually ended up developing seizures, and then down the line, outright strokes. And yet, it lived to be something like 18 years. It’s been so long I don’t recall exactly how he passed or exactly how old, just remember Suzanne would talk about how old he was all the time.

      The best dog.

      I know another best dog. He is the most laid-back terrier ever. He has a job where children read to him to gain confidence, and he will sit still and listen the whole time. He is sixteen years old.

      His name is Dude. He abides. It is my privilege to look after him for a few days a week, and he is the best dog. Sleeps most of the time. Walks around my yard in the same pattern he has for years, every few hours of the day. Mostly blind and pretty deaf.

    Pets should always be allowed to name themselves. If you watch them for a while they will tell you their names.

    I had AKC Springer Spaniel hunting dogs with registered names of Cash Out the Window, (he wasn’t very good at hunting), Eightball, (because he was just a big goof), Onee, (firstborn puppy, but you can’t register a number as a name), a current one named Tater Tot with a call name of Tater because potato head is too hard to say.

    And don’t ask how I renamed a cat my Wife had to Fuckin’ Cat. He really seemed to take pride in that name too.

    My friend has a cat named Wu-Tang Clan Name Generator. And that’s what the legal docs say too. Wu for short.

    And I have the lore because I named it more or less. Me, Cat Owner, Other Dude talking shit like 3 guys do. One of the things being you have one cat now you need a second one. And were just fucking about with names. Other Dude is like used a Wu-Tang Clan Name Generator. And I’m like no no no THAT is the name. And I guess Cat owner thought that was good shit. Cause like less then 6 months later not only did he get a another cat like we call he indeed named it Wu-Tang Clan Name Generator and she ain’t nothing to fuck with.

    I had a cat named Scrots. It looked like it crawled out of a dumpster and had very short hair with a lot of exposed skin… kind of like a scrot.

    We adopted it because we knew no one would want a cat that ugly. Turns out it was also a royal cunt of a cat and probably preferred living in a dumpster.

    It made me realize that, like people, not all animals are good. I’m sure that cat went back down to hell to torture more souls after she died.
