I want to change my dog's name, without him realizing it.

We have a cocker spaniel named Magoo. He smells like a corn chip (unless he's been freshly bathed). He's roughly the same color of a corn chip. I want to rename him Corn Chip.

He doesn't speak English very well, so I'm thinking I can do it without him knowing it. I would alter his name a tiny bit every month.

I believe this would also work with very young children.

  1. May I have the name "Magoo" when your dog is done with it. I like that name. Looks like it might be available around, say, October?

  2. My friend Ashley has a basset hound with a similar fragrance. She calls the dog Frito, but only behind its back.

    Makes me think of an episode of "The Young Ones" in which Vyvyan had a pet pig that he said was not a pig but a ferret. he said, "As John Hurt is known as the Elephant Man, Bacon Sandwich here is known as the Pig Ferret."

    I've wanted a Pig Ferret named Bacon Sandwich ever since.

  3. Since I have a sabbatical year, I like surfing on the internet and collecting my favorite blogs on categories, it's a good way to keep on readin' -which I love- and learning without feeling I'm doing homework!

  6. The smell comes from a yeast bacteria that lives in the crevices of canine paws. If the smell becomes strong and bathing the animal doesn't take care of it, it could be a sign of infection.
