I know this isn't reef related and alittle off topic but I just got a new beagle puppy. His name is ZEN.. About 11 weeks old now and he will definitely be a reefing dog. :)

Cool,
I like the name
Is it a reference to Chao-Chou's Dog? (Very famous Zen koan)

Hey Neil, actually no.. Me and my girlfriend were sitting there and coming up with names.. We ultimately had to choose between JET & ZEN.. And we both decided ZEN was a much cooler name.

A Zen monk once asked master Chao-chou, "Does a dog have Buddha-nature or not?"

And naturally, like most Zen koans the answer requires 30 odd pages of mind numbly boring explanation :p
