Dr. Dog

Pippin has been part of our family for 7 1/2 years. In doggy years he would be facing retirement, had he not lost most of his fortune when the economy took a bad turn...that and the whole gambling thing. In our home he is endowed with the more nicknames than the rest of us put together. I thought I should preserve a record of said nicknames for our posterity.

Here goes:

-Pip Pip

-Pippy

-Pippers

-Piparoni

-Pip-Pocket (he's been known to root around my purse)

-Wonkalicious

-Wonky Bear

-Wiggles

-Nuggles

And finally, what we consider to be his "real" name:

It kind of fits, eh?
