Many weeks ago I proudly announced that I was getting a new little Pug puppy. His name is "Riggo". Once again, here's his picture:
Well, I made an important decision today. Instead of getting one little pug puppy, I decided to get two...so they both can have a playmate. My 2nd pug puppy's name is "Sandy". Here she is:
Why "Sandy" you ask? Well, remember several years ago when John Riggins attended a fund raiser with Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor? Remember those infamous words uttered by Riggo, "Lighten up, Sandy baby."
Well, I wanted to reunite "Riggo" and "Sandy" again....so there you have it.

That is so great JH! Very witty and keeping the humor around. You won't be able to keep a straight face when you have to start calling "Come here Sandy... come here Sandy baby."

I was under the table with Riggo that night and I swear I heard him slur the words "Loosen up, Sandy baby"...

Wysocki:
I think you're right. In fact, some say the full statement was, "Loosen up, Sandy baby. You're too tight."

Others have said, "Lighten up, Sandy Baby."

In this interview with Riggins, however, he said the statement was "Loosen up, Sandy Baby. You're to tight." So, I stand corrected...and I'll go with that one.

Regardless, y'all now know what I named my 2nd (female) puppy "Sandy".

Sorry for the late reply, Niki. No, they are not. Riggo was born out of one litter on 6/2. Sandy was born out of a separate litter on 6/9. Here's there most recent picture together:
I guess I'm just a proud poppa.
