Best dog name ever

I could see where some people would be horrified by the name of a dog I met recently.

First, let me tell you something about myself: I'm Jewish. There aren't tons of advantages to being Jewish, but one is you get to make fun of Nazis all you want. Mel Brooks may not have made a career out of it (there WAS Get Smart afterall), he did write "The Producers with it's famous line "Don't be stupid. Be a smarty. come and join the Nazi party"

It's like when black people get to use certain words and phrases the the rest of us don't. You can complain and whine about it, but that's just the way it is.

So about that dog I met. His name was Hitler. I could practically see her grimmace as she told me. But I laughed a real laugh for minutes. The chuptzpah it! The ridiculousness of it.  

I mean, a dog named Hitler. How can that not be hilarious, especially given the reasoning behind it: Like the original Hitler, the dog was insane, and was prone to seizures. And here's the best part: The dog was born with only one testicle

Genius. Pure genius.

So here's something I never thought I'd write  in a million years: Great seeing you Hitler. You're a good boy and I hope to see you again soon.

I'm thinking of changing my dog's name to Stalin.

I have a German shepherd and I have named it Hitler too. He was being mean and arrogant when he was a pup! He is now 6 yrs old and he is still mean :(

I know of a cat named Adolf (not sure if it's spelled this way) on an online cat community that I belong to. While the people didn't say why they named him that you just know why. He's a white cow kitty with the perfect Adolf Hitler mustache. I'm german and i have many many Jewish friends and it sometimes makes me feel uneasy when I comment on how cute Adolf is. Not sure if the owners are Jewish or not.

About the Bloggers

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
