One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for July 09, 2020

Why is the dog suddenly brown? He used to be white with black spots…

You know how far back this is if you’re quoting Randy Jackson…

2002 just called. They want their cultural reference back..

Call him Rick or Ricky.

And then there’s David Grisman, AKA “Dawg”.

Why is everyone so obsessed with the color of the dog? Does it really matter?

I have a American Staffordshire Terrier named Dog. lol

Why confuse the dog with a new name? How would you like someone to arbitrarily change yours?

They don’t change Willie’s name but I guess they do ,somehow, change his color. :D

I had a friend who adopted a dog named “Dude”. She was embarrassed to stand outside when he’d escape yelling “DUDE”. I suggested she change his name to “Fire”.

Shades of Shari Lewis’s kangaroo puppet Captain Person.

My nephew’s beagle started out as Arnold, but he got tired of explaining that it was after Schwarzenegger and he soon became Copper for the rest of his life.

Not a name change, but I was tempted to make our dachshund Angel’s command word for “down” “Earth” (“Earth Angel, Earth Angel …”)

“Roscoe”
