A Dog with Four Names
So this is a mouthful …. but my neighbor’s girlfriend’s six-year-old nephew is in town for a few days. He’s a cute, smart little boy that caught on fast. He said, “That’s dog’s name is Chewy, except when he’s in trouble. Then is name is Chewbacca.”
Yep. That’s the case. And when he’s really pissing me off, his name is “Chewbacca Morris.” And because in my family, we shorten names for nicknames (mine’s Am), when I’m not at all mad at him (like now … when he’s sitting my lap while I write this post), I call him “Chew.” The good thing: Chewy’s pretty smart too and seem to know all four names.
Of course, he ever comes when I call him, but he’ll at least turn his head for Chew, Chewy, Chewbacca and Chewbacca Morris.
