Andrea's been wanting a puppy for a long time and last week, she finally found one. He's a little half-pug, half-something. His mom is a little dog hussie, so we don't know who the father is. He face isn't as smooshed as a pug.
He's a pretty great little dog. He's black with a white stripe on his chest. He's active, not yappy, affectionate, plays well with others, etc. The house training process is a little difficult, but he seems to understand the concept. He's already attached to Andrea and seems deaf to my voice unless I'm holding food.
We had a difficult time naming him. His name when he came here was "Suge" after Marion Knight A.K.A. Suge Knight (check out the link for a little rap history). Andrea asked me what we should name him, and so I naturally suggested "Brawndo". Initially she was excited, but then she got over it. She wanted to name him after a Greek god, or an astronomical object, like Orion... I suggested "Aswad", which is Arabic for "black", but she thought it sounded to much like "ass wad". Finally, with Andrea on the couch holding the puppy, Vanessa on one computer, and me on another Googling ridiculous things to try to come up with a name we all settled on "Onyx". Simple, interesting, not safe to clean with an ultrasonic cleaner. Good to know.
He's a great little son of a bitch.
