oh goodness! i named arrow for the arrow-shaped marking on the back of his neck... since he never responded to his supposed given name at the pima couty animal control center ("tater").
but that song does sound just like us--all except for when he has to abruptly stop in the middle of the crosswalk to go potty, sending me over the handlebars of my bike, my palm and elbow breaking the fall. seconds later, picking tiny bits of gravel and sand from my wounds, the first words out of my mouth were, to him: "you poor thing!" my elbow made me wince for over a week.

Me and my arrow
Straight up and narrow
Wherever we go everyone knows
It's me and my arrow
Me and my arrow
Taking the high road
Wherever we go everyone knows
It's me and my arrow
And in the morning when I wake up
He may be gone ,I don't know
And if we make up just to break up
I'll carry on, oh yes I will
Me and my arrow,
Me and my arrow,
Me and my arrow.

Remember this song? I wondered if you named Arrow after it.
It was from this movie:
