WHAT'S IN A NAME ?

Petey tagged me for the name game. All about me.

What is your name? I've got a few. First one was given to me by the Foster Furs.



Called me Spot.Where they expecting Dalamations? I was also christened at the Kennel Club with my Pee Degree name. Hair Trix! Ha ha!! All five of fur sibbys are Hair something or other. But I'll tell you bout that another bloggie. That's handsome me, second on the right. And this is me as Spot chasing Fur Mom Diva. Before I had to leave her.



Got me a third name when the 2 leggededs took me home. It was a long drive. Took fur ever too. Over 6 hours. They yipped and yapped back and forth bout what to call me all the way. I could hear them. Between chucking. Snoozing. Peeing. Cuddle Breaks. "Want a traditional old name. For an old fashioned sort of dog. Don't want a name any other dog has. "Walter? Cyril? Reg? Mom rooted for that one.Cecil? Edwin? Claude? Wilfred? Clive? Yes. Clive.They still like that one. 200 miles further on Daddi Square said "Got it! Eric!" "Never heard of a dog called Eric!" For some reason this made them snort with laughter. Guess I'm dog-a-blogging grateful considering the alternatives.



My first day as Eric. Do I look an Eric to you? It sort of niggles. Everyone giggles when they hears my name. What's so funny?



Here's me, now Eric, with one of the stuffie Wheelies. See how he's spying on me? Watching my every pretty puppy move? Yes Wheelies. I was on to you from the tender age of ten weeks.



Eric Dastardly giving that silly straw stuffie a good going over. Look how I'm laughing Darstardly as he bonks his old noddle and nose on the floor. Tee,he,he!!

Other names? Well Daddy Square sometimes calls me Eric Slow Hound. Bit of a joke on the other famous Eric. Eric Clapton. That old rocker. His nickname is Eric Slow Hand. Get it? And Square Dog. Suprisingly often I'm called Good Boy too. My newest name I gave myself after reading my Dog Book from Simba. Eric Dastardly.

If you could change your name, what would it be? Change my name? Too right I would. Who wants some old 2leggededs name when you're a four footed dog? Not me. I would have a proper dogs name. Like Butch. Champ. Rover. Or Bonzo. Bonzo!!! That's the one, properly pawfect. Tell me,if 2 leggededs can change their name by Deed Poll, can I change mine by Dog Poll?

What's your pet's name? Pets? I don't have ANY pets. Oh-oh. Mom says I do. What!! No!! Surely not!! Don't mean the silly wheelie stuffies? Not proper pets. Don't let me pet them. Never pawlite to me. I'll only going to tell you their names as I know what the next question is. And I so want to answer it. Here goes. The Wheelies who live here are called Bertie, Jeeves, Wooster, Enid Wheelie on Wheels and that waste of space, Wally Wednesday.Who is NEVER going to blog on a Wednesday. Or any other day of the week. EVER. NEVER.

If you could change your pet's name, what would it be? This is good!!! I'm liking this question. A lot. Course I would re-name them. Bertie - Scram, Jeeves - Clear Off , Wooster - Shove Off. Wally - Good Riddance. Enid Wheely on Wheels - Push Off . Ha,ha,ha,hha,haa!!!

What's your brother or sister's name? Brother Otis. His Pee Degree name is written in Russian. Strange huh? He's a Blue Kittie. Of the Russian sort. A Russian Blue. Can I ask you? Does he look Blue too you? Mmmm. Thought so. He looks sort of grey to me too. Only 6 months older than me and thinks he's a dog. Cos that's what I tell him. Doesn't go outside so doesn't know any different. Never going to know as no one will tell him...errr...unless you do.


Otis started as he meant to go on. Top Cat. Always getting one over on me.
Or is it getting me over?

If you could change their name, what would it be? Easy. Buddy. My brother and my best buddy.
Please consider yourself tagged if you want to play.

Hey Eric, Spot is rather an unimaginative name (no offence intended to any Spots out there). I rather like Hair Trix though. Is that because you're always having trouble controlling your barnet? So you were temporarily a Clive? I think you were lucky they changed their minds pal! Mind you, I was nearly called Trampas after Doug McClure in The Virginian. Phew, what a lucky escape THAT was.

PS Thanks for the award pal, I'm touched.

the many Bs said...

hi Eric, we really like your name. we think Eric has the right amount of sophistication, mystery and intelligence - perfect for you!

good job on renaming the wheelies. we have some too and they're useless.

woofs.

Unknown said...

Excellent answers, Eric! You were the cutest puppy ever. Whoever knew you could have so many names? Although I must say, I prefer Eric to Bonzo. Bonzo sounds too much like you'd have to wear a red rubber nose and a point hat and ruffled collar and be a circus dog, walking on a big ball.

And speaking of BIG BALL, you're not yanking my leash are you, pal??? Dare I guess???

Your pal in fuzzy anticipation,

Petey

Dewey Dewster said...

Why Eric...

You were just the cutest puppy ever....how could anyone have called you Spot...and Hair Trix....why you have a delightful name now, Eric....that was Pap's father's middle name....'n a proud Swedish name it is....distinguished too...

I can see ya took on the wheelies pretty early in life 'n put 'em in their place too....good job...maybe ya should try pushin' 'em in that pond that got ya green a while back 'n see if they can swim....

Oh, 'n thanks a bunch fer the award fer sure....I'm honored.....

Dewey Dewster here....

Duke said...

What an adorable puppy you were, Eric, and we love that picture of Otis strangling you! How come you hate wheelies? Our sissy, Autumn is very sweet!
Congrats on your award!

Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch

Joe Stains said...

I have a 2 legged name too, Joseph? what sort of name is that. I think your name suits you just fine. I can't believe you play with cats like that!!

Scruffy, Lacie and Stanley's Place said...

Oh Eric....this was a super post...it just shows the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence (especially when Stan is peein' on this side...)!! Did you notice you want a proper dog name and I want a hooman dog name...I WOULD LOVE TO BE CALLED ERIC. Seriously...anything is better than Scruffy...Bongo?? Well...I can't vote for that one. I think Spot or Rover would work too...very sarcastic. Mumsie wanted to name me Dammit...but she hopes for grandchildren some day and didn't think that would fly with them or the AKC.

So you were in the naughty corner JUST BECUZ YOU NOTICED THE HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS RECENT ACTIONS OF THE WHEELIES???

I'm agreein' with ya...something is UP. I took the libery of checkin' the old text messages on Gilbert's cell...they're all coded with tons of references to WD40 and wheel realignment, but a snoooper er super dog can tell that the messages were extremely subversive. Keep ur eyes peeled.


I am BOL with joy at my award!!! Thank you, thank you!!!

Stay outta the naughty corner, Eric...and let Wally Wednesday post this week...sometimes if ya give somedog enough rope, they'll trap themselves with it....

Scruffy

Chef said...

Eric, you were the cutest little wirepup I ever saw. Could just kiss that little nose!

I happen to really like your name. Eric sounds kind of like English royalty - like if I met you, I'd want to bow or call you Sir or something. It totally suits you.
