Mine is Spike. My dad used to work at the railroad so I often saw those 9-inch railroad spikes. I am pretty close to that length.....so the name was a natural fit. Even my wife uses that name.

But at times Spike is more like an aftican spitting cobra....he spreads his hood and is ready to spit venom. So "Cobra" would also be a good name for the tempramental lil guy.

But lately...with increasing problems with my venous leak...."Slug" would fit. He sometimes just hangs heavy and fat and is unresponsive as a slug.

But I dont want to insult my lil buddy......so he is still Spike.
