Mojado was abandoned on the Schreiner
Campus in our first year here, and we adopted
him. His name means "wet" in Spanish, and we
named him this because he drooled copiously
on his way home. We discovered later that his
name is slang here for illegal immigrants, but by
the time we found this out it was too late. Mojado
he remains. A smart guy with an large and
expanding vocabulary, he lives to chase deer and
mail carriers.

Autolycus showed up at our door in the arms of a
little girl who was looking for the dog's owner.
She was about 6 weeks old at the time, and in
need of some veterinary assistance. Once
healthy, she proved to be a cute, adorable bully.
Here name comes from Greek
mythology...Autolycus means "the wolf himself",
and the man was Odysseus' grandfather. The
original Autolycus was a noted wrester and rogue.
Ours is too.
