I just finished Trixie Belden #10 — I don’t know what it is about fall that makes me want to r
ead old school mysteries, but I seem to pick up a couple every year.
My question is: Did the author name the dog Mr. Poo as a joke with full knowledge of the double meaning or did it not have the same meaning in 1950?

I think it was a joke, but maybe it didn’t have quite the same grossness as it does now. But who knows? I wasn’t alive in the 1950’s, so I can’t say with any authority. But I can say with authority that today is Friday! Yay!
It has to be a joke. Mr. Poo is just too funny!
I hope you had a great Friday!
