I got him two weeks ago at the SPCA shelter. His name was "Deon Sanders." That's because he fast as greased lightning. However, I hate football. So I changed his name to Canicula (Latin diminutive form of canis - dog - and Latin name for the dogstar) to match up with my 10 year-old Sirius (Greek name for the dogstar). No wonder my ham radio call sign is K9STR (K9-dog STR-star).
Canicula (Ca-NICK, NICK-ula, NICK), the command emphasis is on the second syllable, is a handfull. He is about 1 year old. Tonight is the latest case in point. I have him sequestered in the kitchen and breakfast room. No oriental rugs there (he has shat two elsewhere), and I have sanitized those rooms vis-a-vis a bad doggy.
Well, he fucked me tonight. Somehow, I left a tub of freeze dried liver treats ($25.99 ferchristsake!) on the kitchen cabinet. In his reach? I didn't think so. I went back an hour ago and the tub was on the floor empty. He was licking his chops. Rongon-a-la-boeuf! Merci!
I walked him around the block and he shat big-time. Now, how often should I walk him tonight? I really love the little fellow and I don't want him to shit his nest and freak himself out. I'm prepared to stay up all night.
What does he look like? If you have access to the DU Gallery, look at Demotex's dog Sirius (who used to shit Dick Cheney's lawn). Canicula is the spitting image of Sirius. Neighbors are amazed. Sirius is amazed. Dick Cheney would be amazed at the amount of dog shit I could have laid, by the dogstar twins, in his yard if he still lived on Euclid Ave.
