@mittens Yeah, my username is a crazy story. I thought I was using the name of the dog in the movie "Intolerable Cruelty." It belonged to a man who was testifying in court...his nickname was Puffy Von Espy. He called to his dog (that he has in court....not very realistic) and I thought he said 'Espy-etta." Named after him. Later, the court recorder reads off the last few things said, and she calls the dog "Elsbeta" or something like that. I have since looked up the text of the script online and they go with the Elsbietta or whatever that was. So I am stuck with this username (I have used it on other sites too) that really is a figment of my own imagination. But I like it. I too, finally decided to use my real name on here, but you can never change your tag ...bah! Oh well. It can be hard to learn everyone's "weird' tags. So when I check my notifications, I am like "who is THAT?" haha But after 3 years, I have most of them down!
Rocky scares me with that pose because he mainly does it after slipping soundlessly right in front of my feet when my arms are too full to see my feet. He trusts me but I think it is only a matter of time until we both get hurt.
@espyetta I really liked your story of how you came up with your tag name, MaryBeth. It is interesting how people decide on a tag name. I used mittens at my user ID and my tag name which made it simple for me.
