THEY WERE CUDDLING

Pervy Lex.

you knew this :) awwww, tender Benson

benson

i keep thinking of the name benson

such a perfect name for that dog!

right

it certainly suits him and, let's face it, was better than any of the top placers here: Puppy Name Game

and i say that as someone who's proud of dog/name fit

I don't think I know what yours is named. ?

SANTIAGO

Yeah, that's a good name/fit.

i call him "santi", i named him that because i found him in east LA, so i knew he was a mexican dachshund, and i knew i was taking him home to san diego

well it was a mexican-american neighborhood anyway i found him in

Well, obv. :)

I just typing - I would prob call him Santi if I were you. Wait - you found him? I know you've mentioned this before but can you explain exactly how? Was he just walking around lost? Poor Santi!

that reminds me of spanish football player santi cazorla who has a nice carlino

Carlino is Italian for pug!

and spanish too

yeah it's a weird story

i was in israel for a bahai trip, my parents suggested i pray. i was like fuck that, i'm not praying. and they were like come on, make a wish. and i was like, fine, i'll pray. god? i want a puppy, a pony, or a million bucks.

one week later, back in the USA, driving in east LA, i see this dude running across a five-lane road in an industrial neighborhood. i went around the block to make sure he made it safely, and he ran back across the other direction. so i went around one more time and he was just zigzagging IN THE STREET.

so i parked and went to grab him, he ran into some bushes and started growling. some people came out of a house with dog treats and we lured him out. no microchip, no tags, nobody called the pound looking for him, so a week later he was officially MINE MINE MINE FOREVER!!!

nice tale

this is my ex holding him literally 20 minutes after we got him out of the bushes ... look how long his nails had gotten from running loose

he did this for about two weeks after he came home, he must've been so tired from his month or more on the streets

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

divine puppy intervention

i like it

i know it sounds corny but its the sort of thing that keeps me from taking a hardline atheist stance

peace that passeth understanding and all that

little dude has changed my life in 10000 positive ways and he basically just stumbled into my lap

Yeah, no, I get that. I'm a soft atheist myself for somewhat similar reasons.

Santi is cute. I bed he and B would get up to some cute trouble together.

i will fedex him to you for fap w/ benson

it would be so great to see an ILX dogs FAP, especially if they were left to their own devices

aw, yeah that would be great :)

not left to their own devices in a lord of flies way tho

late great, I love that story <3 I found my cockatiel on the street, but he was not zig zagging anywhere. just sitting on a window ledge looking confused.

poor benson

what a little gentleman

Ein Mops!

Ein sehr hübsch Mops!

ein mops wie ein kleiner bär

I still can't decide what name, between Pug, Mops, Carlino, and Doguile, is the most appropriate sounding name for "Pug" (which itself feels very appropriate. I mean... "pug" what's that even supposed to mean? yet it feels so correct).

Of course mops is great too because it just conjures the image of attaching a stick to the end of a pug and using it to mop up spills.

There are a bunch of ideas as to where the term came from though I think this one is quite nice:

Milo E. Denlinger, in his book The Complete Pug, writes: "A far better hypothesis, probably the correct one, is that Pug is a corruption of Puck the mischievous fairy of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream and other early romances. Puck was sometimes known as Robin Goodfellow or Friar Rush." This derivation is suggested by Century Dictionary, the ethnologies of which are usually trustworthy. The puckish disposition of the Pug is undeniable. Further evidence that this derivation is correct is offered by the employment of the term "picked up" by some of the nineteenth-century authorities to describe the Pug's wrinkled face.

mops

doguile just sounds like some horrible pidgin, pug is kind of an ugly word, carlino is alright but it could be a word for any number of other things

The Mongalla Free-tailed Bat (Mops demonstrator) is a species of bat in the family Molossidae.
