Guys I’ve done something bad. Like many people, I left the big city and went to my parents to ride out the pandemic. And like many families, we adopted a dog, 15 months old. We didn’t change his name. But, he’s a big, 75lb doodle, as goofy as it gets. So I’ve been calling him “Idiot,” but with a super endearing tone - I of course love the dog. But my mom is ready to kill me. He answers to it now. I’ll walk outside and yell, “Come here, Idiot!!” - & the whole neighborhood can hear. Can’t help it

Just change his name to Eliot and it will no longer be beyond the pale. The dog will be none the wiser because it sounds almost the same to him. Problem solved.

We had some sketchy vet info from the original owner - and through that my mom wormed her way through two different vets (on the phone), and eventually got the number for where the Idiot was born. She called them, they say hello this is yadayadayada, and as my mom says, something clicked in her head and she blurted out, “are you guys a puppy mill?!” And they responded, “oh we don’t use that term here!!”

This is my Chief getting as close as he can as usual.

I am in NYC but open to surrounding areas if anyone has any jeweler suggestions.
