Zoot's Daddy a.k.a. Jim T.

My wife Dawn and I picked up Zoot from a local ASPCA in Central Pennsylvania. That was August 9th, 2003. She was a very tiny pup, probably 8 weeks at best. We were told that she was a "terrier mix."

Well, I'd say she's a "Whippet Mix" as have others who frequent this site. She is a terrific dog, perhaps in need of A LOT more training, but oh so loveable. I feel very proud that we saved her and have gotten her spayed. Spruce Creek, PA is a better place with her arrival.

BTW, her name is a reference to one of my favorite movies of all time - Monty Python and the Holy Grail. In it, Price Valiant enters the terribly named Castle Antrax where he is threatened with "almost certain temptation" by the 150 "young blondes and brunettes, all aged 17 to 19 and a half." The castle is owned and overseen by the fair Dingo and her identical twin sister Zoot. When questioned about the presence of the Holy Grail and the light that drew him to the castle in the first place, Dingo informs the Prince that it must have been Zoot who "set alight the beacon, which I have just remembered is grail shaped" and curses her behavior with the following - "Bad, Evil, Naughty ZOOT!"

I couldn't think of anything more appropriate to name our little bundle of black and white fury.
