We had a crazy secretary who named her dog Rob Roy McGregor because he was a good Scottish dog, and the defender of his home like Rob Roy was the defender of his country. What is your dog, I asked: Collie? Scottie? Cairn Terrier? Sheltie? Skye Terrier? Golden Retriever?

No, she answered to each. He's a German Shepherd.

Reminds me of one of my mother's childhood stories. During WWII, my mother was a little girl living in India, which was still a British colony at the time. One of her family's friends had a dog (I don't know what breed) named... Rommel. The dog responded only to Rommel - calling him Rom or Rommie did no good.

One day, the dog went missing, and my mother was recruited to help find him. So there she was, wandering around a town in British India, yelling "Rommel! Rommel!" and getting some very strange looks indeed... (But she did find him.)

Actually, the story makes it sound as if DSHS did not have a clear reason. The police officer is even quoted as saying that he's always liked the father!

You are really reaching. The state said the children were not taken because of their names but won't say why. What does that prove? The state also said there was no indication of abuse or neglect.

"The sergeant said based on his personal experiences with Heath Campbell, he had no idea what could have led to the decision."


Your source, the DYFS is a garbage agency with tons of problems. The DYFS is the same agency that oversaw the placement of four teenage brothers. When a neighbor found one of the kids going through his trash looking for food he called the cops. The four brothers had a combined weight of 120 lbs and the 19 year old weighed 45 lbs. There is a pic in the link. The 19 year old is at the bottom right with rotted out teeth.
