Boston Blackie?

Boston Doggie?  Well, close!

While walking our new dog “Stella,” this morning, we passed one of our neighbor’s properties and were greeted by one of their dogs.  He (she-it?) greeted us in the usual manner and Stella returned the greeting!  Not a problem for any of us thanks to neighbors’ subterranean fence that whats-its-name respects. 

 The only reason for the post is we have decided to begin calling our neighbordog by a one-time radio hero’s name, albeit it slightly modified, something few of our up and coming neighbors probably remember, unless they are in the over 70ish crowd.  You see, doggie is covered (excepting for one chest spot) with splendid curly black hair.  And, given the knowledge of a name that was used on one radio program for its hero, our doggie friend now will be known to us as “Boston Barkie!”  Heh, heh, heh!!!

 Let’s see if that might just catch on. 

Seems appropriate!
