Bubbles

The Wire is regarded as one of the greatest television series ever made due to its accurate portrayal of the city life and how society works. Another thing that made the series stand out is the cast and characters, each of whom was an important element in the storyline of the show. Among all the noteworthy characters in The Wire, one that really made a mark is the Reginald Cousins, otherwise known by his moniker “Bubbles”.

Portrayed by actor Andre Royo, Bubbles is a former heroin addict who has been trying to stay clean and turn his life around. Throughout the series, Bubbles is regarded as an important criminal informant for the police because of his comprehensive knowledge of Baltimore and the people that live in it. Even though he was hooked on heroin, he is really smart and compassionate, as depicted in his relationship with his friend Johnny Weeks and the teenager he “adopts”, named Sherrod. In the duration of the series, Bubbles’ life as a CI and his struggle to fight his addiction and start over a new leaf is a key sub-plot.

The name “Bubbles” is not only closely related to the series; it is also a frequent choice for a dog name. When you hear the name “Bubbles”, you don’t immediately think of the struggling heroin addict from Baltimore (unless you are a fan of the show). Instead, you think about something cute or bubbly, just like a dog. A well-known canine that possesses this name is Bubbles, the two-legged dapple Dachshund.

Bubbles’ story began on July 27, 2014, when her owners, Trevor Byers and Elissa Smoak, woke up to the sound of odd squeaking. Smoak found the tiny puppy, who was born with only two legs, behind her pillow. More often than not, when pet owners are given a disabled dog, they immediately put them up for adoption or abandon them. However, Bryers and Smoak instantly knew that they wanted to make the pup a part of their family.

The couple decided to create a doggy cart for Bubbles to use. Originally, they wanted to use carbon fiber and some airplane parts to keep the cart light and easy to drag. While doing some research, they found out about how 3D printing is being commonly used to create custom carts for dogs in the past. Hence, they decided to purchase a 3D printer to help Bubbles walk.

Initially, they had made different versions of the cart until they finally found one that worked – a design that featured big 3D printed wheels (with hearts painted on them) and a 3D printed body harness. The couple also provided a free downloadable version of this design so that other disabled dog owners can use and modify them as they please.

The Wire Dog Name Considerations

When you are given the task of naming your dog, it almost seems as if it’s a straightforward process – you simply pick a name that you like and voila! However, a lot of thought goes into the naming process. Aside from the fact that there are literally thousands of names to choose from, you also have to think about certain factors such as the meaning, how it fits your dog’s attributes and a whole lot more.

One of the main things that you need to take into account is how easy it will be for your dog to recall the name. Basically, this means choosing a name that is not too long and has a clear sound. The ideal length of a dog name is no more than three syllables, since dogs can only remember the first few syllables of any given word. It also helps when you know which sounds work best; it is recommended that the name starts with a letter that has a sharp and apparent sound.

Naming their furbabies after television shows is also a common practice among dog owners. For The Wire-inspired names, you can select from the most liked characters in the series. A couple of the memorable characters to be featured in The Wire include Jimmy McNulty, Kima Greggs, Reginald “Bubbles” Cousins and Omar Little.
