All right; this is it! The Dog just does not have it in him today to write something about one of the many problems the country is facing and what we should do about it, so he is just not going to! Things are dark in many corners these days friends, so the Dog is going to do something totally frivolous and hopefully fun with his one and only dairy today!
Knowing the Pooties and Woozles seem to have the corner on fun and cute covered the Dog has not run one of his favorite diaries in a while but the times seem right. So here is the skinny; tell us the story on how you picked you non-de-blog or handle. What is the story? Is it some kind of anagram that can only be decoded with an advanced knowledge of both binary code and the writings of 7th century monks? Is it the name of a long lost pet or lover? (hopefully those two aren’t combined!).
Just to add a little spice, also tell us your favorite cartoon character and your favorite color!
Now to kick this off the Dog will tell you how he got this particular name and as a bonus it explains why the Dog always writes of himself in the 3rd person!
It was back in 2005, the Dog was arguing with a conservative friend about policy for the Iraq war. It was pretty heated and this fellow said "Your ideas on this are about as good as that dog who told the Son of Sam to kill people!" Harsh, no? Well, about three or four weeks later when faced with that line for your public handle here on the Big Orange there were a couple of considerations; first off the head of IS at this company is known to look for peoples names on blogging sites and the is that pesky nagging thought of wanting to run for office some day. Then it became clear, the world needed to hear "something the dog said".
As for color, the Dog is a dark blue kind of hound. Marvin the Martian is the cartoon most near and dear to the Dog’s heart.
Now it is your turn! Don’t be shy! Have some fun, we can’t talk politics all the time (heresy, I know), so decompress a little and recharge for the fight! Give us that story!
The floor is yours.
