Just out of curiosity, what's french bull's name?




I know you love dogs. Do you take your dogs on vacation?
Keith : Yeah, right now we've got two French bulldogs. My man Rasputin died just about a month ago
– I picked him up in Russia and brought him back to become the czar of Connecticut – he went his natural way.

Did you grow up with a dog?
Keith : My mother hated animals. I always wanted one. We had a cat once that my mom put to sleep, so I pinned a note on her door: "Murderer."
I had a pet mouse once. I've always wanted animals; there's something of a connection with them. I've always felt that it's very innocent and beautiful
– there's a beautiful trust exhibited, with no other side to it.

When I saw that dog lying there calm as an egg in Under the Influence I was trying to remember the names
that I read a few years ago when they got the dogs. Etta sounds right. Sugar and Honey would work too,
given Keith's crosseyed heart :E

Sugar and Etta it is: [www.peoplepets.com]
That little article seems to be saying they have four of them? Or anyway four black & white dogs.

Toru A, I know Keith owned dogs called Boogie and Tabasco in the 70s. Boogie was a golden-retriever type.
I don't remember what Tabasco looked like.

And Ratbag of course was this sweetheart:

Etta & Sugar - still reflective of the Chess artists, methinks.

Didn't Keith and Anita once have some big wolfhound type dogs? I remember seeing them in a video of Anita on the beach. It's sweet that Keith loves his dogs so much.

Etta for sure! I'm trying to think of a Chess artist called Sugar -

It's from Cannes, so I don't think the dogs belonged to Keith or Anita.

But yeah Keith sure does love his pets

It's always good to see a pic of Keith with pets.



A very well known píc (and cat) and one of my favorites:

Thanks!

Boogie with Keith.

"After Boogie I had a dog called Creole, then one called Syphilis in the ‘70s – Syph for short. He was a deerhound. Some farmer shot him. They do that.”
Syphilis........

I always thought Boogie was the big dog in that shot on the steps of Nellcote,
so I'm a bit puzzled to learn that little tyke in his hand in that shot from 1970 or so is called Boogie.
It's a King Charles spaniel, right? I wonder if that's the dog he got kicked off a plane over.

Sugar-Pie DeSanto of Slip In Mules fame.

I don't know what this pony was called, or whether s/he actually belonged to Keith,
but the shot's from Nellcote so maybe?

Yep, it was Boogie: [www.rollingstone.com]

This, I guess, must be Rasputin?

That's Rasputin all right!

And thanks for Sugar-Pie, tomcasagranda :E

Well I got the same mom as Keith......she didn't hate animals....but was scared to dead of dog's and cat's..... so no animals in the house as youngster.........but a lot of chicken roosters and pigeons in the back yard

i love this relationship with animals

it's a true thing

I've had pets in my day, ranging from cockatiels through to terrapins, but certain dogs are the business. The last pet I loved was the wire-haired fox terrorist, terrier, Douggie. He was mega-intelligent, a great guard dog, and had a mind of his own. He passed away three years' ago.

My brother has a cockapoo, and this thing is as daft as a brush, and would not make a guard dog, but then it is child friendly. An ex-girlfriend had a cat called Wah-Wah, after the George Harrison song, and not the effects pedal. She loved All Things Must Pass as an album.

Yeah tom, we had a parade of pets in my home too...mostly mutts from the local dump my Dad would bring home and an assortment of dachshunds, even had an alaskan malamute for a time. They all had silly names...stumpy, dum dum, and poindexter to name a few.

Mick posted a video on facebook last year of him at the piano practicing scales as his dog howled along. Ronnie and Sally have a beagle...Charlie, of course, has his horses, but I seem to remember reading something a while back about he and Shirley raising show dogs. So I think they all have canine companions.

This thread seems like the place to post this clip - with Brian on backup vocals and dog whistling.

Good one. I like this name.

Our neighbor's cat is wailing night and day because he is suffering from dementia. His voice is like a Cry Baby.
