How Dispatch The Bichon Frise Got His Name

My friend Cindy, mama of Chloe, asked the question how Dispatch got his name. Basically we had a trucking company, Dispatch didn’t have a name for a few days, my husband or my BIL (there is still discussion about this) suggested the name Dispatch because the tiny fluffball of a puppy was calling the shots and making everyone jump already. Also we all have sick senses of humor and it was funny if someone called to talk to Dispatch and we said “Okay, if you want to you can talk to him but he can’t talk too well yet but he’s learning”. Of course we only did this to people we knew fairly well.

Dispatch is a good name for him because he does dispatch everyone to do his will. Of course the kids say he’s spoiled, I accuse my husband of doing most of it and he said he had to do something to keep up with me or the dog wouldn’t like him, he FINALLY admitted it.

I got Dispatch as a consolation for not going to college, I was supposed to start in August and my husband decided he had wanted a trucking company longer than I had wanted to go to college and I had to stay home and do the paperwork (plus we had money for one or the other but not both). It was supposed to be for a year, it was 3. I got Dispatch the September after we got our authority the previous November. My husband was raised without animals in the house (I was too but it wasn’t my idea or my dads) and husband wasn’t going to have a dog in the house, went against the farmer thing of animals outside. Of course it took a couple weeks and Dispatch was sleeping with us (my husbands idea) and my husband would freak when Dis yelped about anything.

Below we have two pictures of the boss man in his favorite position, see previous post.

Dispatch and a giant arm, he's figured out the evil camera will flash again.

Once again we wish everyone the merriest of Holidays and our hearts go out to the unemployed and homeless (19,000 children homeless in Dallas Ft. Worth area?)  Our thoughts are also with the drivers and other employees of Arrow trucking that basically closed it’s doors without notice yesterday.
