    My daughter’s friend got a new puppy and there was a name off. I put my bid in. Anyway it came 2nd. Arlo is his name but I refuse to except defeat. Conversation goes like this:
    Me: How’s Gus going?
    Friend: good
    Friend to kid: Your mum knows his name isn’t Gus
    Kid: Yeah. She knows
    Me: How’s Gus going?

    My name is better.

      Nope it isn’t. Gus is good - easy to shout out across the dog park. Arlo is just not as shoutable.

      Arlo is too basic.

      Gus is solid.

      I’m all about naming dogs with names for old white dudes. Like Gary, Larry or Marvin.

      If I could name a pet, I’d choose a silly people name like Edith, Brittany, or Dorothy, or like Martin, Jeffrey, or Jason. Peter. Sandra. Just like, normal generic people names. I think it’s hilarious when pets have names like that! Gus is so good! I vote for Gus, 100%
