I've never really understood why they named him Mud. After reading your explanation I tried to translate the word to see if there other meanings that I don't know but I didn't find any.. I do remember him interupting them ("Bo since when your nose is so cold and wet?" or something like that! ROFL!) but I can't make the connection to the name Mud..so you got me curious now!!

I really loved this dog!! And ITA that Nora was crazy about him too!! I think they should have another dog!!

This is such an American thing that I could see why you'd be confused.

When Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth, Booth jumped to the stage of the theater and broke his leg. He was treated by a Doctor Mudd. People assumed that Mudd was in on it with Booth but he was just an innocent. So when people say "Your name is Mud(d)" it's meant as an insult.

And Bo said that to poor poor Penny when s/he interrupted Bo and Nora. LOL And the name stuck.

Does that help at ALL??? LOL

Didn't the dog also chew up her grandmother's linens? I loved when Bo told Mel that Nora hated dogs. LOL
