Tonight's tune ... obviously ... "Mama I'm Coming Home", made famous by some other Ozzy, but sung by someone else as per the youtube, just to keep the randomness factor high.
If you haven't heard the story, Ozzie was the original three-pawed puppy that was supposed to make this his forever home ... except the day the paperwork was submitted, he ended up with another family -- a family that had a toddler who also was missing a limb. Seemed like the perfect fit, but Ozzie was "too much puppy", and so when he ended up back in the system, it wasn't too difficult a decision to bring him into the fold.
Octavius is a fitting first name because he's the eighth pet of my adult years (after Little One the ferret, Mauler Jean, Demon James, Baby Jane, Mystery Josephine, Murder Jehosaphat and Casanova James). [Missing is Little One the turtle ... because, upon retrospection, that poor thing was more a captive prisoner than my pet. Oops!] And a middle name that starts with a J honors the tradition started long ago and is a shout-out to DJ (may he rest in peace). Although, unless he's in trouble, he'll probably hear Ozzie more than Octavius Julius.
[Of course, what it all boils down to is that I'm really just trying to keep up with the Heather K's of the world!]
Here they are ... my famous last words ... this is either going to be twice as hard or half as easy ...
OZZIE ... OZZIE, YOU'RE COMING HOME!:
