Puppy Puddles

by Larry John

 

When I was five years old I got my first puppy and named it Puddles. That is because when we brought the puppy home that first night we put him outside in the wash room and the next morning when we went out to get him …there were little “puddles” all over the floor. Little puppies just do what little puppies do. Perhaps we should name each other like we named Puddles…just like they named Snow White’s seven dwarfs …Sneezy, Grumpy, Sleepy, Doc, Happy, Dopey and Bashful. I wonder if we were to do this with all the people we know if they would be named: Negatively or Positively, Good or Bad, Skeptical or Believing, Friend or Foe, Jealous or Sharing. Its fun to image what we might name our friends but it is more fun to image what they might name us. Think about it.
