What is in a name

Here he is, the Lil Turd, the star of this blog.

Ain't he cute? A mug that is undeniably strangle proof.

This picture was taken right after we got him.

Before I started calling him The "Lil Turd".

                                               

Back then, he was called Brisco Horseshoe Tiberius Cates Erickson.

Brisco for short. The rest not making it on the tag

And Yes before you ask, I am a fan of Bruce Campbell.

The 'horseshoe" is part came from his dominating facial feature.

It is also what the couple we got him from called him. 

He also had a brother named "fathead". 

I also could not forget about the Shatner.

Tiberius just seemed to fit in quite nicely. 

It rolled off the tongue like European Aristocracy. 

Also, I happen to be more than just a little bit Mental.

You can also blame my girlfriend, for letting me name him.

The deal was: female, her call, male, my choice.   

I already had the perfect name.

Well, the first name anyway.

The rest came after the fact.

The litter was too cute and she could not decide. 

So it was up to me, and something told me to pick him. 

He looked as if he was expecting me to. 

And the rest as they say, is history
