Okay, I'll cave.


The dog's name, as we know from "Molly Ivins Can't Say That, Can She?", was Shit. She told of the times he'd escape from her on the street and she'd be standing there shouting "Shit! Shit, come back! Come back here, Shit!" to the amusement and consternation of passersby. She also said that he had "terrible politics" - back in Texas, at the Observer's office, he'd growl and snap at progressives who'd come to visit, while letting all manner of "no-account sumbitches" pet and play with him.

2. When I was young
...and knew Molly Ivins, her dog's name was Frijoles. There is a story to that too. ...but a long one. It was back when she worked at The Texas Observer too. I knew her and Frijoles.

4. Don't be stingy with the stories, m'friend. Step up!
Inquiring minds (that loved Molly) want to know.

3. Ha! My boss had a dog named Shits!
It was a shih-tzu, of course. :-)

5. I have an autographed copy of "Molly Ivins Can't Say That, can She?"
I read the story about the dog Shit and laughed heartily.
