Me and my boyfriend were discussing favorite cartoon dogs. Snoopy, Odie, Muttley, Scooby, Astro etc. naming as many as we could think of... Then we came to Dino and we were fighting over whether Dino is considered a dog or a dinosaur...we're goofy... I don't know bout you guys but my personal favorite is Spunky from Rocko's modern life . I was like SWEET! When walmart started selling Rocko episodes on VHS. I just found Ghost Busters on DVD...so fun.

...this is what people talk about in their spare time?

Yes. I had a conversion about using the fat of Oprah's body as armor for tanks, when I had spare time.

who is this person?

Spunky, ftw.

Although, technically isn't Rocko a type of dog as well? Man, that show was great.

No, he's a wallaby, which is like a kangaroo... only... smaller.

-"You just made that up!"

Dino is a dinosaur. He takes the place of a dog, but he is no more dog than the dinosaur they pull on to signal end of the working day is a horn.

Oh yeah. For some reason I was thinking dingo.

That's nothing, I ended up sitting staring into space once while a friend of mine sat and described how much she liked her bellybutton.

Hers, not Oprahs.

Right.

You know, Ari is a Finnish name.

or Israeli.

or short for a mermaid name.

I knew a kid named Ari when I lived in San Diego in 5th grade.

He helped me learn how how to rollerblade.

Spunky is pretty awesome as far as cartoon dogs go, though I think I like Scooby-Doo as well. I can't really think of any others that I liked right now.

As for her name, Ari is short for Ariana, her character in NeS.
