"And the cousin who is the daughter of the uncle with the dog breeding thing decided it sounded cooler if the answer was yes, only there's dozens and dozens of dogs around, this breed is for herding and guarding so they breed lots of them. And only the ones they keep as adults actually have names so the other cousin called her on it, and she started coming up with more and more desperately obviously made-up names until they got to where I was settling on this particular puppy and then the puppy was named Mud. Following littermates named, I don't even remember them all, Milk and Pinetree and Bubble. And it stuck. So, Mud."
