That reminds of when I was at my sister's house trying to break into her computer that was password protected. Her dog came in to be with me. I put in "Ziggy", and the computer unlocked. I told her, "It's pretty easy to get onto your computer when the password is sitting right next to you." He was a golden, too. Looked at a lot like the one in the gif.

I had a hand in naming him. His full name was Ziegfield Orbitus Prophet. That's what I came up with at age 15. The funny thing is that I questioned my sister about it seven or eight years later, and she still remembered his full name!

His full name was Screaming Yellow Zonker - named after these:



She later helped me adopt a similar color cat (tabby point Siamese) that I name The One and Only Original Vanilla Caramel Ice Cream Cat - called Nilla - because when he curled up he looked like a bowl of ice cream with caramel stripes.

… do not deserve dogs. They are much too good for us but luckily they condescend to be our companions and friends.
