Scuppers the Sailor Dog, by Margaret Wise Brown is one of my favorite childhood books. Ms. Brown also wrote Good Night Moon, which is more widely known. These books were published as Little Golden Books and could be purchased for about 10 cents.
Scuppers the Sailor Dog bears a remarkable resemblance to my dog. A scruffey little brown and white dog on an adventure.
But my dogs name is Scupper P. Dogheart.

He has a heart shaped patch on his back which is too cute.
I have to repeat his name to folks because they don't get it, and they have never heard of a scupper unless they know sailboats. A scupper is a water drain on deck. So I have to say it several times or spell it. What is it, scruffer? stupper? stupper? huh?

I think that it has something to do with my accent as well, but I don't know for sure about that. Maybe its my braces.

So if scupper is the drain, is the "P" for what might be going down the drain?
