No Puppy Named Multiball in This Litter, Mr. Barker

In an earlier episode we talked about the way that dog rescue groups give different litters of puppies names so they can keep track of them all.

And I was looking on a website where there was a litter of puppies and they had the names saucer, slingshot, ramp, kicker, and flipper. Do you know which group of pups that was? Is this skateboarding terms?

Oh no, but it’s, it’s, it’s an activity. It’s a kind of game that you might see in an arcade.

Oh, pinball.

Yeah, yeah, the mom’s name.

That’s lovely.

Yeah, the mom’s name was pinball and all of her little puppies were named.

Oh yeah, because when they get, when they go, when they get out of that sleepy stage and they start knocking around.

They’re completely like pinballs, aren’t they?

Right. Ping their way right into your heart.

Yeah, absolutely. Well, when you’re not browsing puppy websites, you can give us a call with your language questions, 877-929-9673.
