Jaboodi de Boda, the dog formerly known as Pepper.

Our dog Pepper is a genius. He has the ability to learn new names within a matter of days. I manage to call him a different name every few months, and he responds to everyone of them, beginning with: Monkeyboy, Stinkbomber, Munkenberry, Baron von Munkenberry, Super, Super Dooper, Pooh Pooh head, Stinkenburgher, Fatty boy, Fattinberger, Stinkenberry, Jimbini Rigatone Linguine Marscoponi, Jackabodi and the very latest, Jaboodi de Boda. The etomology of Jaboodi is as follows: Last week I walked into our den and heard the word Jaboodi from the telly,(TV) , turns out it’s a place in Africa. I simply married it to one of Pepper’s favorite long gone stuffed toy dogs, called the Boda, henceforth Jaboodi de Boda. June loves saying the name as much as I, and even Masala Mama has used it on occaision-it’s rare for her to adopt my meaningless names. So there you have it…Stay tuned for the next Jaboodi update.

P.S. The Jaboodi has been watching a lot of Project Runway lately and has decided to come out with his own line of clothing. As you can see from the picture above, he’s modeling his latest fashion line called the ‘salty dowg’….ahhhhrrrgg…..wruff.
