Red Dragon or Black Panther

Prof-Man texted me one evening while he was having beers with friends, with his latest suggestion for Baby-Bean’s nickname: Red Dragon. What the!?

Seriously, Red Dragon? I thought it sounded eerily close to a kkk thing (isn’t the leader called the Green Dragon?)…as a result, my retort was that I’d rather the nickname: Black Panther.

Now obviously neither nickname is appropriate…but both are just fun/ridiculous “tide-me-overs” until we know the gender, at which point we can come up with a more suitable nickname. I must say though, that since starting this blog yesterday, I am quite drawn to “Baby-Bean”. It’s cute and it relates to food (which for me right now is a very good thing…mmm…food). Unfortunately, Baby-Bean is not very original. There are just way too many pregnant moms-to-be that call their babies “bean” or some iteration thereof.

She-Boston (one of our dogs) has taken to “calling” Baby-Bean by Prof-Man’s favorite nickname. How, you ask? I know it sounds crazy, but Prof-Man and I have “voices” for our dogs…sometimes we talk in their voices as a joke. Well, She-Boston seems to have a real preference for Red Dragon (perhaps that because the voice of She-Dog is more often than not played by Prof-Man)! Okay, I should stop with the crazy talk now…a little insight into my life is one thing, but sharing our crazy antics over the web doesn’t seem like the best idea!

I’ll leave you for today with a picture of She-Boston (on the left) and He-Boston (obviously, on the right). Aren’t they cute (or should I say, so ugly that they’re cute)? They had better enjoy these last few months of being the centre of attention…they are in for a rude awakening in November!
