I've always been in favour of giving dogs 'human' names. That way, when he or she starts chasing a cat, squirrel or something when out in the open and off the leash, when, let's face it, emotions can run high, shouting something like say 'Roy... No Roy, you cunt, leave that fucking thing alone... No I'm not fucking joking... No... No Roy, don't take it's life!' etc has a certain added frisson WRT the other punters.
I was once at 'a shoot' (pheasants, partridge, it was a while ago now,) when somebody had brought along a gun dog called Robert, who was supposed to chase through the cover, scare up the birds, as gun dogs are. There's a way of doing this, but Robert, the dog, was too inexperienced, and kept on making mistakes. Consequently, his owner spent a lot of the afternoon accusing Robert of being a wanker, a shithead, a fucking arsehole and so forth, which given the fact that at least two of the gun men on this particular occasion were also called Robert, led to a certain amount of confusion a bit later on, as I'm sure you can imagine.
I'm not sure if it's a day I'll ever forget.
(In all seriousness though, chief, good luck with the pup, though I'm sure you won't need it - it's the right thing to do, fuckin' 11, 23!) |
