John Adam’s dog’s name

[Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984]

Ok, this is worse than naming a dog Worthless. Of course dogs don’t care what you name them as long as there’s a food bowl and an occasional treat.

 

John Adams named his dog Satan.

I’ve known of a cat or two with that moniker and I recall a friend who had a horse named Satan.

I've known two cats named Salem... both black, of course.  One was owned by Helen Brimstone's mom; the second by her son, Richie.

 

Salem No. 1 passed several years ago.  Salem No. 2 was a stray that Richie and his missus adopted - they had him checked out; the vet declared Salem No. 2 to be a young, healthy, and already-neutered male.   No. 2 was  relocated to Richie's grandparent's farm a few weeks later, along with "his" litter of five kittens.

Well that would tend to explain what he didn't have any cojones.

I had a dog named Stain, it used to amuse the hell out of me when my wife would go outside and call the dog to "come" in 

 

     The neighbors used to laugh at her too!

I have a good friend whose ex is nicknamed Satan. She was worse than Satan when she was drinking.

I used to know this woman that had an extremely mean, but also extremely well trained black dog named "evil N word".

 

There was a sign on the fence warning to stay out, but the new meter reader ignored it.

 

The woman heard the dog open up, and quickly ran out the back door and yelled, "Evil N word, SIT!!!!"

 

Both the dog and the meter reader immediately put their butts on the ground.

My ex didn't drink.  Didn't need to....

A dog trainer whom I respect said pets live up to their names.  Be careful.

Had a minister of our church get an oops puppy from my brother's dog. An irish setter that got bred by a yellow lab. The pup turned into dog that looked like a red lab that he named Cinnamon. interesting when he called for the dog using the shortened name of Cin (sin). Also had a hunting buddy name his yellow lab Honey. At times wasn't sure if he was calling his dog or his wife.

Best dog I ever had was my liver Brittany, "Woody."  Short for Woodrow Throckmorton Dog, or Woody T., or occasionally something more colorful.  Extremely bright and a terrific field dog - on three legs for most of his life.

 

I was gifted Woody as a pup by an old frat brother and hunting buddy, Dave D.  Dave owned Woody's mom, a delightful little bitch named... Nookie.  He had a daughter named Nicky - when it came time to name his then-new dog, well, he just didn't think it through.  But that was Dave....

 

And it was downright amusing to see this big ol' Russian-Sweed in the field calling his dog - other hunting buddies would grin; their wives and girlfriends would initially express astonishment.

I've seen the following 'story' numerous times over the years...

 

 

 

Everybody I know who has a dog usually calls him "Rover" or "Boy." I call mine "Sex."

Now,

Sex has been very embarrassing to me.

When I went to the City Hall to renew his dog license, I told the clerk that I would like a license for Sex. He said, "I'd like to have one too." Then I said, "You don't understand. I've had Sex since I was nine years old." He said, "You must have been quite a kid!"

When I got married and went on my honeymoon, I took the dog with me. I told the hotel clerk that I wanted a room for my wife and me, and a special room for Sex. He said, "Every room in the place is for sex." I said, "You don't understand. Sex keeps me awake at night." The clerk said, "Me too."

One day I entered Sex in a contest, but before the competition began, the dog ran away. Another contestant asked me why I was just looking around. I told him I had planned to have Sex in the contest. He told me that I should have sold tickets. "But you don't understand," I said, "I had hoped to have Sex on T.V." He called me a show-off.

When my wife and I separated, we went to court to fight for custody of the dog. I said, "Your Honor, I had Sex before I was married." The judge said, "Me too." Then I told him that after I was married, Sex left me. He said, "Me too."

Last night Sex ran off again. I spent hours looking around town for him. A cop came over to me and asked, "What are you doing in the alley at 4 o'clock in the morning?" I said, "I'm looking for Sex."

My case comes up Friday.
