In Walt Kelly's "Pogo" cartoons he had a character named Sam Handwich. He was a duck that fell into the Fountain of Youth and became an egg. Copy of one of the cartoons attached (and hidden) below.

Dude

As a lifelong Southern Californian (and thus an expert on use of the word "dude") I can confirm that "dude" is a gender-neutral term, as are "bro" and "bruh". XD

Satan - Chihuahua Lovers Only

Look up the YouTube channel for Johnny Devaney. There is a sketch of two guys breaking into a house. They meet a dog. It is a Golden Retriever. The burglars make nice with the GR, and say they are just helping his owner move some stuff. The dog answered 'Sure' As they wandered off, the GR adds: 'Just have to make sure Tina is OK with it.' Burglars ask who Tina is. Cut to the actor with a manic grin, captioned as a chihuahua. Burglars: Oh God. Tina: He won't save you...

It is so hard some days to look at these, as much as I love animals, because it makes me sad that so many animals need good homes. But I do love to look at their sweet faces.

And I thought I was unhinged because I named the chickens in one family of Sims 4 after dishes like Nugget, Tikka Masala, Kiev, and a rooster named Au Vin.

I had a red squirrel with so much energy I named him Reddy Kilowatt. The chipmunks used to come around looking for food with their heads down and tails up, looking like vacuum cleaners, so they got named Hoover, Kirby, and Dyson. The blue jays are named Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Baby Jay, Crazy Jay, Jay Z, Jay Lo, Jay Leno, LL Cool Jay, Jay Silverheels, and a few others I can't remember now. I named my black cat Shadow.

My cats: Jelly Roll Meowton (male, black bobtail), Thelonious Skrunk (male, tuxedo with a perfect moustache and goatee), Mizu (male, black with a white patch on his chest and a stubby club tail). Our chickens were Nixhen, Peaches, Freebird, and Attila the Hen 😹💕 RIP girls 💔
