So Why "Long Dog"?

Ah, the mystery of the name...if you knew me, you wouldn't need to ask. But since you're just getting to know me, I'll share the secret: I'm a long dog. Well, duh, you might say - that seems obvious. But see, the thing is, I'm really long. My moms measured me the other day (uh, yeah, I did say "moms' - you got a problem with that? well, love makes a family, bucko!), and I'm almost five feet long when I stretch out. My other nickname is "circle dog", and if I have to explain that one, well, then your imagination must need a little work. Just in case you're having a rough time with it, though, here's a visual to help you out. And this one might look more like "oval dog", but you get the picture!
