Does this make me a bad person?
Feb. 22nd, 2006 10:02 amThere are few things as amusing as telling the Jehovah's Witnesses that have come to the door that your adorable and friendly puppy's name is "Darwin," and then watch as they blink at you and laugh in nervous, but polite surprise.
(I then went into detail about how "Darwin" is also one of the capital cities in Australia, AND how some breeders will put a pup down for a mismark, and given those two things, it seemed a very apropos name. I think we talked more about Aussies than we did about religion.)
I sent in his AKC paperwork yesterday. His official "pedigree name" is "Lazy L's Darwinian Selection." (And he's totally getting a little AKC tag with his registration number on it, because I'm a dork and signed him up for their "lifetime lost and found" program.)
And in crate-training news, we had a piddle accident in the crate this morning. :( He had room enough to go to one corner and piddle, which may mean I need to adjust the crate again. I did that, and I'm also thinking about setting an alarm for 4 hours into the night, so he can get a little potty break. This will also allow me to get a little more sleep, though broken into segments. I know he can do a five hour stretch in there with no problems. It's that sixth hour that's tripping him up, poor little guy.
