His name is... and man, he can snore.

Featuring:

Differ

Well, "Godfrey" came home on friday. First place we went was to meet his Grammy, my mom. She fell in love with him. He was showing off all his commands he knew of sit, down, shake with both paws. Grammy said that she hoped things worked out. Then before leaving, the boy met his Uncle Nelson, my brother. Uncle Nelson seems to think that "Godfrey" might have rott in him with his big head, thick chest and short nose.

We left there to go see Daddy at work. Daddy has been trying to pick out names for the boy. In the meantime, I have been calling him Fat Boy. Can't call him Big Boy as Hrothgar is Big Guy. And there is nothing little about "Godfrey", so Fat Boy is now his nickname.

I told George what Nelson said and he agreed. Then said, "we got rotten chocolate". Yet still no name.

I took Fat Boy home by myself to meet the rest of the furkids. I had a plan. Fat Boy into his kennel before letting the others out of theirs. Then took them out to potty, went back in to get Fat Boy who was on a leash the whole time. There was major "greeting" and sniffing. So far so good.

About 40 minutes and all were laying around that Fat Boy got up to check out something. Alarm had been right beside Fat Boy like "what do you think you are doing". Fat Boy was not doing anything and moved and bumped Alarm. Well, the "touffle" as I called it happend. Alarm snapped at Fat Boy, I yelled, Alarm jumped up on the couch and FatBoy ran under the desk to hide. Nobody was hurt.

It was uneventful the rest of the day.

Then Daddy came home, we all had dinner. Fat Boy learned we don't get to look at others food bowls. He is very smart in some areas.

While watching TV, he played tug of war with George, then laid down beside him. Then off to bed later.

I did not sleep well for several reasons. One it was storming and two, the snoring was deafening. Not only was George and Hrothgar snoring, but so was Fat Boy. We are talking snoring louder than both George and Hrothgar together. And as I type this journal, Fat Boy is laying behind me snoring and it sounds almost like a fog alarm it is so loud.

Any way, in the morning, we got up and had breakfast. So far so good. After breakfast, Fat Boy (yes, still no name), found one of Alarm's toy balls. We are going to try to teach him that those are not his. So we went to get a different toy. Fat Boy was carrying it and of course Alarm right beside him like "what do you think you are doing". I was leading the way back to my office/room and for what ever reason Alarm stopped short. Well this caused Fat Boy to bump into Alarm who then turned on Fat Boy for another "touffle". I yelled, Alarm ran to the front of me and Fat Boy hid behind me. I lectured Alarm and told him to be nice.

Then all was calm, so I went upstairs to shower while George searched the net to check out more Norse Gods' names.

Out of the three George had first picked, I only liked Donar. But I had come up with a couple. One was Narvi who was son of Loki and our first dog was named Loki. The other name was Aegir who is God of the sea, known to host elaborate parties with lavish entertainment for others.

George and I like to have folks over and thought that might fit. Plus Fat Boy lays with his legs out behind him which reminds me of a frog.

So I went to shower. Now mind you that our shower is like a room, you step into it but the step over is like a couple inches tall. The shower room is about 6'x6', so very big. There is also no door.

I stepped in to turn on the water and Fat Boy is in the shower licking the spray from the shower heads. I told him out. I get in and turn around and Fat Boy is back into the shower with me. After the fifth time in the shower with me and me kicking him out each time, I thought Aegir fit him.

You see, on one wall of the shower room is a mosaic tile picture of Poseidon who is the also the Greek God of the sea. Aegir is Norse God of the Sea.

I told George my thought and told him to think about it.

Well the name is Aegir.
