Despicable Dog Names

Ok...So, technically I'm borrowing part of this post from the last...but it was so long, I doubt you read that far down anyways.  And I know that I added pictures...but it was a lot of freaking writing, so I don't blame you.

So, the other day, while getting my paint for the upstairs (which was supposed to be blue grey...and looks slightly lilac...eew) at Home Hardware, we stumbled over to the pet section.  This inevitably led my 4 year old to throw a tantrum.

(Quick sidenote for those of you without kids...tantrums are most easily dealt with by not dealing with them.  You must not indulge the child with "when you're older..."  "If you save your money..."  or "maybe"....unless you actually mean those things....I don't want another dog....the answer is NO...end of story...no.  And no, I'm not a heartless beeyotch...we already have a dog!)



4yo:I want a Chihuahua

ME: No

4yo: I want a Chihuaha....NOW. (Little balled fists and stamping feet.)

Me: No, Veruca Salt*....now get in the truck

4yo: Thats not my name...and I still don't have a Chihuahua

Me: I noticed.


(*If you don't know who Veruca Salt is, you must watch this, it'll give you a nice visual of the fit about the Chihuahua...except there was no singing...or oompa loompa's)


So after we get home, she informs me that she had already planned it all out for this little Chihuahua.  His name was going to be ..... DAVE.


DAVE...really!? Dave is just not a Chihuahua name. 

You have to name a chihuahua like Pepito or Taco or SkippyJon Jones...or Senor Amigos....or something remotely Mexican sounding....don't you think?

Its like naming a Rottweiler  Fluffy or Princess or a little poodle Thor or Hercules....you just shouldn't do it.

Do your pet names fit....or are you a Dave the Chihuahua type of person?

A Zillion Answers...Well Actually 14

Ok....

So fantastic Scrappin'Amber (over at Amber: Kick Ass Wife, Cool Ass friend and All Around Awesome Chick........ ) has kicked my ass in an arm wrestling contest, so I have to answer these questions.  But seriously, she nominated me...so yeah, I do as I'm told.


1. If you could spend the rest of your life doing only one thing, what would that be?

I was going to say swimming, but that leads to alot of wrinkly skin, or maybe driving, because I like to do that too, but that would lead to a sore back I think.  So I'll say ranting at people for money.  (don't knock it til you've tried it!)

2. What is the best thing you can bake/cook:  Crunchie Cheesecake....but I'm pretty good at cooking just about anything....other than cookies. (Don't ask me why, they are never quite right)...or that cake I made that my sister never lets me live down....ok...I put in too much gelatin...cut me some slack!

3. What household chore is your least favorite? Dishes....or picking up dog poop (yes, I realize that's outside, but its still a chore...so too bad.)

4. If you could bring three things to a deserted island, what would they be? A lifetime supply of Pepsi, A hat...(I have a tendency to get too much sun and be sick), and a boat. (is that cheating?)

5. What's the next big thing you are thinking about splurging on? Hmmm...well since I just repainted, I informed my hubby that we now need new flooring and furniture...so maybe....a little wishful thinking never hurt anyone.

6. Post a current photo

WHAT???  Now people will know that I don't look like a rainbow with a little m....
fine....party pooper.

7. If you could have ANY pet EVER, what/who would it be? I like Bing...our dog...he's good. (I did have that post about monkey's but apparently thats a no.)   Or an elephant...they look cool...but imagine the poop I'd have to pick up!
 
8. Who is your favorite musician/band and why? Silverchair...because Daniel Johns is hot....yeah...and their music is pretty sweet too...but basically he's hot.  Wow...I'm ridiculously shallow.

9. What celebrity annoys you the most and why?  Seriously....Barbara Walters....Who died and made her God....wait she's Jewish....does she believe in God?  I'm getting all my religions mixed up ever since I started praying to JesusAllahKrishnaVishnuYahweh.  But yeah, I have little to no patience for her...but she's a snazzy dresser for being 87...what  she's 94?  No shit  (just kidding, really, she's 80 right now...and yes, she looks good, but she weilds too much power...malevolently...thats right, look it up.)

10. What has been your biggest letdown lately?  The color I painted my house...I swear it looked greyish blue....but now I feel as though I am in a senior lodge with a pastel lilac color ....everywhere...all I need is a set of dentures by the sink a few Depends and you'd never know the difference.

11. Worst job you have ever had and why?  Tree farm....I worked for two months when I was a teenager at this little tree farm.  I had to roll up 15 little trees in saran wrap...my hands were so sore...they were permanently half curled for those 2 months.  Shitty job.

12. Guilty pleasures?   Seriously...you don't want to know.  Pepsi....chips...and hollandaise sauce  (its on top of Eggs Benedict.)  It looks gross, but its so good....and you can hear your arteries clogging while you eat it.
And maybe wine...but only white wine...and really only Dr. ZenZen.

13. The last argument you had with someone - what was it about? 
My 4 year old wanting a Chihuahua.

4yo: I want a Chihuahua
ME: no
4yo:  I want a Chihuaha....NOW. (Little balled fists and stamping feet.)
Me:  no, Veruca Salt....now get in the truck
4yo:  Thats not my name...and I still don't have a Chihuahua
Me:  I noticed.
(And she wanted to name the Chihuahua...DAVE...really!?  That is totally not a chihuahua name...You have to name a chihuahua like Pepito or Taco or SkippyJon Jones.)



14. What would be something you would NEVER do, even if someone paid you a shit ton of money?  Aside from the obvious answer of I wouldn't kill anyone, I don't think I'd ever want anything to do with Coca-Cola....thats right...everyone has standards....and I refuse to drink/work for/ be paid to promote anything to do with that nasty drink.

So there you have it....a bunch of answers to questions that you never wanted me to answer.

So, now I must pass it along to seven people...
