What not to name your dog
Woman in the Middle | April 1, 2014At a recent city council meeting, one of our city council members told a funny story I wanted to share with you. A while back he had neighbors who had quite a few dogs who where noisy and annoyed the neighbors with their barking. One of the dogs was named “Fire.” On a regular basis these neighbors would open their back door and scream at or for the dog, yelling “Fire” loud enough for most of the neighborhood to hear. Needless to say, when the neighborhood heard someone yelling “Fire” they stopped what they were doing and looked for smoke. But it was never smoke, it was just a badly chosen dog name.
So let this be a lesson. Never name your dog “Fire!” Well, maybe the dog below could be named Fire, but no one else!
