52 Weeks of Happiness - Week 30

Meet Butch.

He's Ethan's new pet.

We met Butch two weeks ago,

and he was half the size he is today.

Yikes!!!!

He's part boxer and part ridgeback.

Now you're probably thinking,

Butch is not a very original name.

Well...

let me tell you,

there is a story.

(Isn't there always?)

When we decided to adopt Butch,

we knew we needed a name.

I thought I could help,

so I offered Wrath 

as a name.

It was denied by Scott and Ethan.

But I did not give up.

I also suggested

Rhage, Vishous, and Tohrment.

(BDB fans - see a trend?)

Scott caught on

to the fact I was suggesting

Brotherhood names,

so refused them all.

I never got a chance to offer up

Blay or Quinn.

But then,

I remembered

Butch, the Destroyer.

Leaving out the Destroyer part,

I suggested Butch.

It was only later

that Scott realised that

Butch was also a Brother.

But by then,

Ethan was already telling people

his new puppy is named 

Butch!

Happiness is a new puppy.
