What’s Wrong with Moose?

by Steve on February 25, 2009

I’ve been following the whole First Dog thing with passing interest and was hurt to learn that Mrs. O nixed my name from the list of possibles. The nerve.

“Oh, the names are really bad. I don’t even want to mention it, because there are names floating around and they’re bad,” she said. “You listen and you go — like, I think, Frank was one of them. Frank! Moose was another one of them. Moose. I said, well, what if the dog isn’t a moose? Moose. I’m like, no, come on, let’s work with the names a little bit.”

Not every dog can be a Moose after all. It takes training, dedication, and just a certain amount of panache. Not good enough my tail! Since we’re being critical shall we poke a little fun at the First Lady’s use of “20-something” vocabulary? Yes, we shall. I’m like, ready for dinner!

I agree — not every dog deserves the name of Moose.

Let’s just hope the new dog at the WH has a respectable name — not some silly little dog name like Fifi or something!
