>>I like sundance best before reading others thoughts and now think lance would be embarasing to him. We should not call others names to point out their imperfections.
I did that with my Chip, I named him that based on his injury but to me it's endearing not embarrassing. When people see him & find out what happened to him they feel sooo sorry for him that they are nicer to him than they are to those who haven't had problems.
It's like our big sulcata tortoise- people think we're crazy when they first see that we have this big slow lumbering animal in the yard... but when they hear that we took her in because somebody shot her 3 times with a .22 they feel so sorry for her they just can't get over why anyone would do that to her. Then they want to pet her and they want to see her have a good life.
It really makes a difference in people's attitudes toward an animal when they know what a hard life it's had in the past.
That's been my experience anyway... ----- PHRatz
