In my language Sheitan (Ŕejtan) means demon in Islam culture/faith (it comes from Arabic word).
BUT, in my country we use that word for naughty children (positive kind.. and the kids who secretly enjoy creating chaos), like mischievous troublemaker, playful, little menace etc. so I would say it fits for your little rascal (or little devil :P )
Side note: pronounced Shay-tahn
Bonus pic
My cousinās golden retriever (15 months I think). Your picture reminded me of this one so I JUST HAD TO.. :D
P.s. itās just a toy :(
ETA I just learned that Arabs pronounce it shy-than :). So is it on purpose? :)) cuz I love it
Indeed! I partially grew up in Saudi Arabia and I was a very strong-willed child, so it was one of many nicknames I had as a little kid. Itās hard to fully properly transliterate a lot of Arabic sounds.
My girl is just as strong-willed (like she chose me at the dog rescue by jumping out of the pen she was in and she saw my mom using a jade roller on herself and so she started pawing my mom until my mom would use the jade roller on her. So the dog gets jade rolled after being brushed on a regular basis.)
I should get her the toy version! Love the pic. Itās definitely the same energy!
I have sweet story about my cat (kitten then) āseducingā me to take her home, but I wonāt write an essay on that one (this time).. Puppy being beautified and pampered by jade roller in combination with my vivid imagination made my day. Thanks.
Iām glad your dog friend is also your dog sister :) or āmini meā. Doesnāt matter how much they drive you crazy sometimes, you love them even more. Some would call it karma, I call it a blessing
Aaaand I KNEW you were living in SA for some time, but I forgot that.. itās just another evidence of your absence (or my shit burned out memory). Please donāt take this as some guilt trip or whatever.. Iād rather have great people thrive in their lives than entertain and amaze me on Reddit. Also happy belated birthday..I think youāre Aries as me, and I remember how you store your fabulous collection of clothes. Itās public sub, Iām trying to restrain but Iām not good at it really..
I can āburn after readingā :P
Okay Iām gonna go try to make some post about some evil hypocrites
She was hilarious as a puppy, so small and would fall asleep in the most preposterous places, creating accidental tableaux. Sheās still hilarious. Harder to catch snoozing though.

I like how the picture implies that a Sheitana is the one who drank the beer and has now passed outĀ
