We got a new dog two weeks ago. He came with the name Teddy, but it doesn’t really fit him. We like the name Trotsky cause he trots around. We are not really all that sure that we want to enter into the political fray by using that name, but may be forced into it by others. Silliness I know, but inevitable. I’ve never read Trotsky, and only know that he was a Marxist. So I went to http://www.marxists.org/archive/trotsky/ to find out a bit about him, and didn’t get much further than the first page because the dog looks kinda like Trotsky did. Hehehe. I think that settles it 🙂
