A friend of mine has a cat called Sam and today I joined her in a visit to the vet. When we entered the waiting room, there already was a guy with his dog that was carrying his own animal passport. It was such a sweet dog. When the vet came in to the waiting room to call them in, the dog sat down and gave a paw and his passport afterwards. He then proceeded to follow the vet calmly. If I understood it correctly, the dogs name was Sjappie. It's Dutch and it roughly translater to 'loafer' or 'deadbeat'.
So long Sjappie, you made my day, keep proving your name wrong.

I realize that the information about cat named Sam wasn't necessary and I am turning into my grandmother with kind of this storytelling.

As a Dutch, I cannot actually confirm that translation.
Mayia
I couldn't find a better word, what's your suggestion?
soepie7
No translstion at all. Unless it's a dialect, it means nothing at all.
Mayia
It definitely means something! https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.ensie.nl/amp/scheldwoordenboek/chappie-sjapp
