Sure is!! Just one more reason I couldn't pass him up! Yeah, Pimg will need time, no question. And if I don't keep the dude in line, she will!

My family wanted me to name him some derivative of Kangaroo- like "Kanga" or "Roo" or "Knga" (a weird pointer to the fact that Pimg seems to have missing letters in her name, of which I just find... weird). I didn't think any of those names had a "punch" to them. I don't remember what I was looking up last night, but I stumbled onto the word "jinks" (or jink- same meaning) which I didn't know. I knew "jinx" but not with a "k." I was delighted by the meaning, and loved the double meaning when paired with "high jinks." Just seemed perfect to me. I'm sure he'll have plenty of high jinks to keep my busy! I also thought it'd be fun to add a linguistic reference to the Belgian Malinois with a French "kennel name" be it that "Malinois" is a French word, but French is a dull language lacking any "punch." Thus the German...
