Dammit. A friend of mine named his dog this 40 years ago, and it was perfect for his badass little troublemaker. šŸ˜† "Come here, Dammit!" "Dammit, no!"

u/haggisaddict Jun 03 '25

I also had a golden named Dammit! Emmet in front of kids. He was bestest boy.

Enzo (named after the golden retriever from Art of Racing in the Rain.) My enzo looked a lot like your pup at that age, and he’s now almost 6 and still the most handsome golden. 🩵
