Name your dog, SEX.

-------------------------
Everybody who has a dog calls him "Rover" or "Spot" I made the mistake of calling mine "Sex".

Now, Sex has been very embarrassing to me. When I went to city hall to renew his dog license, I told the clerk I would like a license for Sex. He said, "I'd like to have one too!" Then I said, "But this is for a dog." He said, "I don't care what she looks like." Then I said, "You don't understand, I've had Sex since I was nine years old." He said, "You must have been quite a kid."

When I got married and went on my honeymoon, I took the dog with me. Not wanting the dog to bother us, I told the clerk that I wanted a room for my wife and me and a special room for Sex. He said that every room in the place was for sex. I said, "You don't understand, Sex keeps me awake at night." The clerk said, "Me too."

One day I entered Sex in a dog show, before the competition began, another contestant asked me what I was doing. I told him that I planned to have Sex in the show. He said that I should have sold my own tickets. When I asked if the show was televised he called me a pervert.

I left my dog at the Veterinarian. When I went to pick him up I said, "I've come for my dog." She said, "Which one, Spot or Rover?" I said, "What about Sex?" She slapped me. After I straightened out the misunderstanding, I asked if Sex was good for her. She slapped me again.

Sex ran away, I went to the dog pound. As I was looking in all the cages the operator came up to me. I said I'm looking for Sex. He said I was looking in all the wrong places.

When my wife and I separated, we went to court to fight for custody of the dog. I said, "Your Honor, I had Sex before I was married." He said, "What's your point, so did I." I said, "But my wife wants to take Sex away." He said, "That's what happens in a divorce."

Last night Sex ran off. I spent hours looking for him all over town. A cop came over to me and asked, "What are you doing in this alley at 4 o'clock in the morning?" I said I was looking for Sex.

My case comes up Friday.

I'd just call the dog Bear if the name fits the dog. Dogs don't seem to have a problem with single syllable names. My dog URL Grey answers to URL ("Earl") just fine. And Mr. Grey. And Hey Stupid. And Little Pup. Dogs just don't really care that much. Though I had to stop saying "Good Girl" to my other dog (another monosyllabic name for her too, Blue) because it got confusing for both of them (URL rhymes with Girl.) I've trained myself to say "Good Dog" instead.

OK...I named my new golden retreiver...

Honey Luma, just Luma for short.

She reminds me of a luma in the mario galaxy game...like a cute little star that needed to be rescued (she is adopted from a rescue). Honey because it is the color of her fur.

Everyone seems to like it, though not many understand the meaning.

Most importantly, she comes to it when I call her.
