I need to remember I tried, I stayed strong, and I didn't start a battle.

The odog name is used in only a few areas of my life. Not known much IRL.
The name is mostly in honor an old four-pawed friend. He was the biggest brat ever but I loved him and I miss him. Listen to the intro of "This American Life" episode titled "the cat came back". Same kind of dog. Similar experience. Made me misty.
I don't know why I identify with him so much.
Orange is a cheery but peculiar color.
The logo of The Black Dog Institute, an AU organization committed to depression and bipolar, shows a hand with Churchills famous "V for Victory" gesture and a shadow of a dog. The Black Dog is constantly following lurking in the shadows but we can be victorious. The hand in the logo happens to be orange.
There are other reasons the name stuck that are unknown to me.
