Wally
Hello friends. Here's something you'd never ever have imagined in a million-trillion years... our family is getting a dog! Yes, that's right, my family, the anti-social-no-visitors-when-we're-all-in-our-pajamas-only-had-fish-and-parakeets-as-pets-family is getting a little doggie. How you ask? My brother-in-law has a hard time saying "no" to free things and he's a doppey kind of guy but has a good heart and whatever, so he "adopted" this dog from a friend. But, my sister does NOT want a dog in her house, so he agreed to find someone else to give it to. Enter my father. I guess it's an old person thing, but finally my parents are starting to loosen up in things like spending money on "luxuries" like brand name cereal and air conditioning, making food other than just turkey and chinese noodles at thanksgiving, and allowing a dog to live at our house. Anyway, my brother-in-law really really really really wanted us to keep the dog so that he could visit it whenever he wanted (i.e., instead of giving it to some stranger kid) and my dad actually caved and said that we'll take the dog! I never thought I'd see the day. Anyway, we don't technically have the dog yet, because our house is not conducive to pet-having (we need to build a fence and a doghouse and food and stuff that dogs might need), but we're getting a dog.
So here comes the problem of naming the dog. Actually, it's name really is "Doggy," which is fine with me and it's what I'll probably end up calling it by mistake anyway. But my parent's wanted a real name so here are some of the suggestions:
From sister and brother-in-law:
1. Kal-bi
2. Bowser
3. Dino
4. Skip
5. Fuzzybutt
6. Waldo
7. Max
8. Hairball
9. Hammie
10. Mango
11. Scout
12. Wally
From parents:
1. Vegas
2. Buddy
3. Inu
Out of those, I like "Fuzzybutt," but this dog is not that fuzzy. Of course, I tried in vain to get my names inputed in there also, but, unfortunately, my family did not take very well to "Yevgeny," "Juan Carlos," "Stinky McDogPoo," or even "Wally von Dogbert." Too bad. Anyway, we finally decided that this doopey dog should really be named by the doopey owner (my brother-in-law) with an equally dorky name, therefore, may I introduce...

Does everyone read these comments? Well, congratulations to you who are reading this now because you will get to hear a secret behind my (apparently) evil doggy Wally. In areas of Europe, Australia, and South Africa "wally" carries a derogatory connotation. It's kind of like calling someone a "goober," "goof," "moron," or "prat" (all are also very good doggy names by the way). How do I know? Because when my sister's boyfriend lost his keys, someone called him a "wally." Then, when he found his keys right where they were, his friend from South Africa called him a "wally." So Nicole I guess your unsuspecting accomplice for evil plots idea wasn't too far off afterall, darn that Wally von Dogbert.
