Now that we had picked out a dog, we had to name him. We thought we would wait until we had him at home for a few days to see if we could name him something based on his personality. The following day, which was the same day Heather went puppy shopping, I thought of the name Chump. We use chump a lot at work, and it has taken on special meaning. I thought it would be a funny name. Heather didn't seem to mind it too much, but Jenna did not like it all at all. When I came home from work the afternoon, the kids and Heather were outside playing. I went downstairs to work on homework while they played. Jenna came and got me and told me I had to come outside. I thought something was wrong, but it was nothing. Heather was excited because she had thought of a name that we could all live with; Zippy. Of course, Zippy is the nickname of Tony Stewart's crew chief (his last name is Zipadelli). I thought it was clever, but still liked Chump better. I knew I would never win Jenna over, so Zippy it was. However, his official name is Sir Zipadelli Stanley Chump of the Pruski clan of Leland.
But you can call him Zippy.
