Did you ever meet Bart?

Bart is short for Bartholomew.

I may have picked up a little puppy for free from the Wal-Mart parking lot my freshman year of college. 

He may have been cute, but he didn't smell very good, he wasn't potty trained, he whined when no one was home, and, oh yeah, my apartment didn't allow pets so I had to keep him a secret. 

If you are a single college student and one day you decide it would be a good idea to get a puppy, I would probably advise against it.
