Hi again Kartmann

When we had recruits out in the bush for the first time we used to tell them to beware of "Woffle Worms, Drop Bears and the most dangerous of all, the SWAMPDOG". These of course are all ficticious Oz animals but the recruits were convinced and used to spend some nights without sleep.

I think SWAMPDOG is most appropriate for you as your description of your residence reminds me of the Swamp in M.A.S.H. and Dog is synonymous with hound. The Swampdog has all the attributes of a Bloodhound but the name is far less boring.

So therefore dear Kartmann I dub thee "SWAMPDOG".

I'm sure other Ozzie members will contribute to the definitions of this name.

In the Canadian Forces, we had a similar ficticious animal which manifested itself as the "snow snake", found mostly where one found yellow snow. This beastie could terrify a recruit since, as they were told, the animal only struck whilst one piddled in the snow.
