Can You See Him?

Can you find Wilson in this picture? He's there......Whenever we go out and leave the boys home, they immediately go to this window and wait. From there they can sit on the bed and watch for our return. It also gives them a great view of the surrounding area for squirrels, deer, pesky neighborhood kids on skateboards....you name it. It has also earned Wilson one of his nicknames: Stripe. That's because, sitting in the shadows of the room, the only thing that we can see from outside is Wilson's white blaze. Does anyone remember what 80's movie had a character named Stripe?

This Isn't Much of a Photo But.....

...It made me laugh and it reminds me of one of Jimmy's many nicknames....

At home, next to John's favorite TV chair is a dog bed. Both dogs vie for it, but when John is watching TV in that chair, Jimmy is sure to get the bed so he can be next to his favorite human. As part of sitting there, Jimmy demands that expects John to keep an arm over the side of the chair, touching him at all times. If John forgets (or his arm goes numb!), Jimmy pops straight up and pokes John's elbow to get the hand back. He will do it many times in a row until the hand returns. Yes, Jimmy can be a bossy little SOB......Anyway, this persistent hopping up and down earned Jimmy a nickname: Pogo....as in Pogo Stick .

When I saw this (somewhat out of focus) picture, I immediately thought of his Pogo nickname.....

BOING!

How about your pups, any interesting nicknames?
