Mister Won’t You Please Help My Pony?

The Pony needs a name.

This is my newly-adopted Yorkie/Jack Russell mix (he’s a Yakkie!). I was fostering him for a week and we made it official on Saturday. I’ve been calling him Pony (PONY2012!) because he’s little and all little animals are ponies. It is also short for Ponyboy Ratliff which is abbreviated PBR which also stands for Professor Blanket Rape.

And even though I might still call him The Pony as a nickname, I think he needs a better permanent name.

I looked at his papers from the shelter and his original name is AVCABATCHE. No joke. Avcabatche. I did a Google search to see if that is even a word and the only results are the ones at different pet adoption sites where this dog was listed. It’s not a word. It’s not a name. It’s Avcabatche (Superman’s less popular cousin’s catch phrase).

Anyway, this is where you come in. I’ve come up with a few names that might work. Vote for one. Or give me a new one. Don’t fill up my inbox with your hilarious joke names like Dr. Poopington Buttsley, III, because HAHA I GET IT THANKS! But if you have a seriously good suggestion after looking at this face, I want to hear it.

Thanks!
