An alert and pretty commenter pointed out that I have been writing about Licorice in my “Offspring” category more often than not. I responded that as “mah baby” that seemed to make the most sense, but I wonder if she needs her own label.
Long ago I had a category naming contest and that brought us the categories “The Year of Living Changerously” and “Ottomatic For the People,” both of which still tickle me to this day.
Want to come up with a category for Her Supreme Dogginess? (Here, let me inspire you: I took this shot of her last night. You’re welcome.) There shall be a prize. I don’t know yet what that prize will be, but I will make it worth your while. Probably.
G’head; hit me with your suggestions, and I’ll pick a winner on Friday.

I think Licorice would like it if you called her category Belly Scratchings
Woofers and Tweeters, I mean Bloggers!
The Joys of Average.
I like ‘Tails from the Darkside’
Also a play somehow on “Man’s Best Friend’ would be cool, but my mind refuses to be clever today….

Of course I meant
Holy Shih Tzu, Batman! :)
Personally, I couldn’t do any better than Absinthe Makes the Heart Grow Fonder or Fennel of the Kennel. You have clever, clever readers.
Dog Days of Parenthood
I like to keep it simple: Doggone it
Cold Nose Warm Heart
And I ADORE Absinthe Makes the Heart Grow Fonder and Fennel of the Kennel
You DO have clever — and pretty — readers!
Buckets of Licorice
Anise drops?
I miss Chickadee and Monkey stories! Although, I understand maybe they’re lives are not perfect blog fodder right now. Still, I miss them, no offense to Licorice.
or as you refered to the photo yourself: puppy porn
may cause too many odd google hits, so maybe not ;)
I’d vote for “Absinthe Makes the Heart Grow Fonder” THAT is clever.
My heart is full of Licorice
The Belly of the Beast
The Dog Ate My Homework
Too Cute to Punish
Trouble is spelled L-i-c-o-r-i-c-e
Not to portend bad things to come, but as a dog owner I am sure the majority of stories will have an element of “look what the dog did!”.
My brain is not being creative today so I’m just going to put in my vote for ‘Belly Scratchings’ suggested by Aly.
Ok, so you could also go with
Cute is spelled L-i-c-o-r-i-c-e
or a variant thereof :)
I’ve got nothing but laughter here…you have clever commenters!
Dog & Plenty. You know, after the movie candy….BUT I love Fennel in the Kennel & Absinthe makes the Heart Grow Fonder, too ;)
Her Supreme Dogginess
Licorice Droppings
i love Belly Scratchings. Absinthe Makes the Heart Grow Fonder is fabulous, but i’m not sure the meaning would be clear to a person actually using the archives.
Lick her bellyicious
How about “Posts that decrease my bounce rate” :)
Dogmatic for the People
Supercalifragalicorice.
Pedagoggie
Petasticness
Licorice, like, fur real!
Money can buy you a fine dog, but only love can make her wag her tail.
(That was a bit long, wasn’t it?)
I’m going to sulk out of sheer jealousy over ‘absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.’
Hmmm… I did enlightenment history so a bit of Rousseau which is totally riffing off of the above idea: ‘days of absinthe’
also semi-plagiarized: absinthe minded
furful times?
Just voting here: Absinthe… or Fennel….
Those are really clever!
“Death by Cuteness” works for me
Licorice Tales (Or Tails? Hmmm…)
Licorice Drops
I WANT CANDY — must be in all caps because that’s how most people feel about candy. :)
I WANT LICORICE — not the same ring, but at least it’s got her name in it.
the 4 legged one.
She-who-shall-not-be-nicknamed.
I also like Belly Scratchings. Too cute!
Beastly Behavior?
Licorice-flavored Love
Akin to Redvines
Furry Candy Love
Mah Canine Candy
Oh, I love Lic-o-Wish. (And don’t understand Fennel in the Kennel.)
couple more ideas…
Snips, Snails, Puppy Dog Tales
Beware of Dog (Stories)
;)
sweeter than candy
I’ve got. Licorice–a SUPER replacement
‘Licorice: the bitter and the sweet’. Though I have to say I LOVE ‘Trouble is spelled L-i-c-o-r-i-c-e’.
Also? The word licorice looks like its misspelled when you read it more than a handful of times. I kept thinking “lick rice? This is really how I spell it?” I’m often amazed I ever made it out of 3rd grade spelling tests.
Lick ‘Em Baby!
Puppy Porn
rub mah belly
Whoever said “Puppy Porn,” that gets my vote.
WAIT! WAIT!
“I Has A Cute.”
Candy is dandy, but Licor ish quicker….
Liquor-ish
But Puppy Porn is fabulous
Loving Puppy Porn! The only thing i can come up with is Puppy Lov-in.
Anise addition to the family
(Since anise tastes like black licorice. Yum. Not YOUR little black Licorice, but the candy is yum. You know…)
Black Licorice Tails (or Tails of Black Licorice) The “tails/tales” dilemma would end up being yours, but I prefer “tails”.
Did you know that the more you write “licorice” the less it looks like a real word?
jess
Her Snorgaliciousness.
It is so a word!! :)
I was going to say Licoricious, but there are some much better ones here. Supercalifragilicorice! Puppy porn is too scary…don’t want to bring those type here :)
Mom’s Best Friend?
The Only One Listening At Any Given Time. (Even though we know it isn’t true. Although I’m sure it feels like it some days.)
or Wee Wittle Beastie.
From previous suggestions, I like Tails From the Dark Side and Doggone It. So many great suggestions!
I like “Absinthe…” but Licorice is a Gin Dog.
How about “The Gin Dog Diary?”
I also like “Licoriceness” and “Supercalifragilicorice.”
It’s been fun reading everyone’s comments.
ouzo – what she’s done now!
Licorice

…cause she’s so smart and cute, you know. (Points lost for misspelling, I know, but it wouldn’t work with an I!)
She’s not Super(dog) and we’re okay with that!

Ahem.
Squee! Mir thinks I’m pretty! And I think everyone here is very clever and has rockin’ shoes. I was actually eating some licorice all-sorts while reading these. (No, really!) I like Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder, personally, but feel compelled to throw a few into the ring:

Allsorts.
Licorice My Lips
I know.. another reader with a comment. Apologies, but I felt strongly enough to say something.. again.
I just read over the suggestions, and even though I had submitted my own lame attempt, I have to say that there is one that is the clear winner in my most humble of opinions…
A lot of people like the Absinthe ones, and they are good..
However, the person who suggested “Oh Look! Something Furry!” had the inspiration. I cant think of one more perfect on multiple levels for you, this blog, or the subject.
I love the “Oh Look! Something Furry!”, but I also want to suggest “Way Better Than Super!”
A New Leash on Life
Best in Show.
FTW!
Wow, you have really funny readers. I pink puffy heart “Absinthe Makes the Heart Grow Fonder” and would vote for that, although Fennel in the Kennel is pretty sweet, too.
Oh, and Allsorts o’ cute. All delightful options. I honestly don’t know that I, in my exhausted state, can come up with anything better. The one that popped into my mind is a nod to growing up in the eighties: Candy Girl.

What about…

The One Who Stayed
I tend to go simple: “Woof.”
(Although I like those Licorice Whips suggestions, too.)
Since we are voting, I love the “absinthe” one and the “fennel” one. Then I saw “dogmatic for the people.” Hilarious! But “the dog ate my blog” truly sums it up for me! Pretty, pretty Mir has funny, funny readers!
How about “Fuzzy Face”?
I’ve skimmed thru these, some great and witty suggestions, but I didnt’ see: “who let the dog in” and you can go back and tag the posts about Super with “who let the dog out”?
What about “It’s a dogs life”
Or maybe, “rub my jelly belly” since licorice is a jelly bean flavor.
“To say something of the dog” (with apologies to Connie Willis)

I think today I’m too sleep deprived to be creative but I LOVE the concept of letting your readers suggest tags for you!

“Woofspring” or “Ruffspring”

Wow, I got nothing now. Just that you do have funny & witty and pretty readers!
I know that you’ve been sick and pretty. That’s a hard combo to handle, but I was wondering if you’d picked a handle for Miss Licorice?
Feel better. Of course, you are pretty, so how hard could things be? :-)
