A few nights ago, I found myself tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Then, the Pretend Husband, who had way too much caffeine too late in the day, found himself with his eyes pinned open. So, like any loving couple with double insomnia, we began chatting.
I told the PH I had tried to fall asleep by running through potential baby names for our next child (this is not an announcement). After going through some of my ideas, we began thinking of names for future dogs (also not an announcement). After the usual Molly, Maggie, Max, Buster suggestions, we hit on another idea.
We thought it would be absolutely hilarious to give our next dog a name that is only usually given to people. Like Stanley. Or William. We lay in bed cracking ourselves up thinking about how people names would sound on a dog ("Jessica! Stop licking yourself!" "David! Drop that chipmunk and get in the house!") Then we wondered if the idea would seem as hilarious when we weren't exhausted.
The next day, we discovered that it is just hilarious as we had thought. I defy you to walk outside right now, yell "William, stop humping Jessica and get over here!" and not laugh. It's impossible.
So many books...

I have a friend that named her dog Bill. And my neighbor's dogs name is Bruce. And he's the tiniest wire hair chihuahua thing. My dog loves to bark at him, so I'm always saying, "Leave Bruce alone!"
So yes, funny.
We have four dogs. Nikki, Tanis, Siegfried and Roy. The best comments out of my mouth usually involve Siegs and Roy. I feel like I'm yelling at a couple of Vegas performers.
