ROVER and FIDO
NO LONGER USED
AS DOGS NAMES

who've had their day it appears
as survey of Redwood Falls dog
licenses reveals not one of the
formerly popular names register
ed. Two Busters and Sport alone
revive memories of time when
it was a dogs life for the poor
canine who didn't have an accept
ed monicker.
Most unusual of dogs names
here is "Miown" the call to which
A. N. Gandrud's red cocker SPAN
iel answers. "Darfur,' describ-
ed by his owner, Rev. E. A. Birk-
holz as "a full blooded yellow cur"
is named after the town from
which he came and Tom Tyson's
Tat has his masters initials to
live up to. Richard Cook, like
most executives, has a "Stooge,"
Mary Keefe, literal to the last,
calls her spotted pup "Pooch" and
William Schottenbauer describes
his, Mug"
Golly, Comfy, Cooky and Rook
are four names outstanding for
their originality.
"Skippy" is the most popular
appelature for dogs ranging in
breed from really skippy little
terriers to H. L. Morse's husky
Shepherd, six dogs of that name
being registered. The comics,
too, show their influence on dog
owners, three of whom chose
'Wimpy" and one, Fred Anthony,
"Toar."
Although nominally and in the
eyes of the general public. most
Redwood Falls dogs belong to
children, license records show that
when it comes time to pay the dog
tax, it's papa's pooch. One papa,
d. w. Buckley, is sole owner of
two dogs when May 1 rolls around
and Harold Gray, trapper, also
has two dogs registered.
