Yup, we have one alter that assures us he knows his job & will absolutely positively be there to do it when the need arises. Otherwise just leave him alone. We rarely hear from that one or need to refer to him. Another says names are for 'summoning' & he/she is not a dog that comes when called. But he/she has been around lately and very willing to stick his/her 2¢ into any conversation. U probably know what we call him/her..Summons!
