@Sahirrnee just above … If the new dog is a female and you really insist on something punny about wrinkly dogs, may I humbly suggest _Sultana_. That is a somewhat exotic term for a golden-colored raisin made from light-colored grapes. AIUI, the term is rather more common in UK / commonwealth English than in US English. But it is valid 'Murrican too. Really. And in its other definition, it’s a reference to royalty, with all that implies about regal manner & reserved demeanor. And self-designated importance around your house. If the dog is male you could name it _Sultan_ and see if anyone is smart enough to get the joke about a Male Sultana. Or, since dogs have no idea about gendered naming conventions in English, even if it’s male name it _Sultana_ and see how many people give you grief for mis-gendering you dog. At which point you can edumacate them about golden raisins. Delivered with a withering glance down your nose and a very haugthy delivery. 😁 @Wheelz: Damn, that bed is coming together smartly. Looks like quality workmanship and a quality kit. Should give many years of good service. @Johnny_L.A: great greenhouse. I too once had built a bed kinda like that which was an abject failure at drainage. Might be worth a test before **SWMBO** fills the house with plants that she doesn’t want to move again. As to me: Turns out this morning that I’d snuck out of the house so successfully she was surprised when she awoke at her normal late morning time & I was gone. Of course before I left home I’d sent her a text which arrived during her phone’s quiet hours, so the mystery of my absence didn’t last long. We’ve done this a time or three. 🙂 Made it home nominally, then after a suitable re-union we walked to the Spanish tapas place for light dinner and a glass of Crianza for me, Sangria for Her Ladyship. The weather for later tonight here is shaping up similarly to last night. So tomorrow _may_ be an instant replay of today. I’ll be going to bed a bit earlier to try to get ahead of it. Cheers all! And extra special {{hugs}} to the afflicted. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-the-dessert-mmp/983106)._
