Slinky

Slinky, often referred to as "Slink" is a toy Dachshund with a Slinky as his middle. For those who may not know, or remember, a Slinky is a flexible metal, sometimes plastic, spring that children used to play with a lot in the 90's. You would sit at the top of the stairs, and position it so that it would go down the stairs by itself, each end alternatively making contact with every step. Because a Slinky makes up over a third of his body, Slink is a very stretchy, flexible toy. In the original film, he stretched so far, he hurt himself a little. He was trying to save Woody and Buzz, who were trying to catch up to the moving truck.

So, as you can tell, he's very much a loyal friend. Friendship means a lot to him, because he has nothing else. To him, his fellow toy friends are his family. But as is the case with anyone's family, sometimes they leave a lot to be desired. For instance, in the first film, Woody feels replaced by Buzz, and that makes him act a little crazy. He begins doing questionable things like trying to run him over with a toy car - the same one on which they eventually chase the moving truck with.

Problem is, a simple run over on a toy wasn't what happened at all. Instead, the car almost ran him over, then a bunch of tacks from a memo board fell on him, and then he got chased by a globe. Finally, a lamp hit him off the window sill and out into a shrub alongside the house. Believing that Woody has intentionally killed Buzz makes all the toys, including Slinky, wonder what would happen if one of them suddenly became a favorite toy. Would Woody betray them too? Would he kill them off?

All of these questions lead to a rift between Woody and the other toys, but in the end, everyone is still very much one happy family. And Slink, once sure that Woody hasn't gone dark, is back to being as helpful as he can be in every situation possible. Some of the things that make Slink stand out are his floppy ears, his waggy tail, and his Slinky midsection. Most of all, however, is the fact that he has a deep voice, which is rather unexpected, but works well. He was voiced by Jim Varney, best known for the Ernest movies. He passed away in 2000 from lung cancer.

Toy Story Dog Name Considerations

Whenever people name their pets, they tend to freeze up. In the moment, it's difficult to think of really good, meaningful names, isn't it? It's far easier to just list off mundane, commonly used, even cute names. The problem with that is that although it gets the job done, it's not exactly... an experience. Naming your dog should involve a little more effort, just a smidge. Although a dog's love is unconditional, and so they'll love you regardless of what you name them, it's not exactly what they deserve. These pets are faithful, loyal, loving animals, and they deserve more than the name "Floof."

So, consider this: the dog's breed, gender, size, appearance, personality and preferences. Whether or not he likes chew toys, or prefers tennis balls is critical information. Even the most mundane of activities can be helpful when discovering who your dog really is. Because unlike what most people think, each and every dog is unique in some way or another. Some dogs are super touchy, others are overly friendly, and others are super hyperactive. They come in all shapes, sizes, and levels of goofy. And since you're here, you must love Toy Story. Think about how the film and your dog connect. Maybe your dog is just as quirky as one of the characters?
