what happens when i skip school

The yachtsman came home from puppy school last night and informed me that the class had collectively decided the dog's name should be Chester Arthur. "The teacher wrote it down," he said. "It's official."

And so I would like to officially introduce you to Chester Arthur Miller.

aka Peanut Eugene O'Neill

  1. Why is he taking night classes? Are you homeschooling him during the day?

    Does he go by Chester or Chet?

    Lastly, has the yachtsman seen the drunk Ewok hump Al Roker's leg? (Doesn't that sound like code for something?)

  4. If it's Chester Arthur Miller, then I'm thinking it ought to be aka Peanut Eugene O'Neill. Not that I get a vote.

  5. CT, if the puppy teacher gets a vote (and the deciding one, no less), you definitely do, too. Eugene O'Neill was actually in the running, so aka Peanut Eugene O'Neill it is.

  6. 2 Names! That's perfect! The bride's side will call him Peanut (Eugene) and the Yachtsman's side goes for Chet. Either way, he is the cutest dog ever.

  9. What the hell HAPPENED on the Today show? Is that a tiny grownup or a deranged child? Either way, I'd like to hire him as my personal assistant.

    You're going to have to check with the Yachtsman re: Chester vs. Chet. I call him (the dog, not Chris) Peanut.
