How I got my name Archer

I was named after Captain Archer of the starship Enterprise. I am told I am at this time more of an ensign.  But, I am the explorer of the universe and actively look to push my frontiers.  That is a a lot of fun.



Don't forget Captain Archer has a beagle called Porthos.

Porthos is Archer's pet dog. One of four males born in a litter of English Beagles, Porthos and his brothers, Athos, Aramis and d'Artagnan, were named after characters from The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas, père. He has been Archer's faithful companion since the age of six weeks, and has remained so for the duration of Archer's 10-year assignment as captain of Enterprise.

Porthos was portrayed by a female beagle named Prada in Season 1. Afterwards, he was played by a further two female beagles, Breezy and Windy, although the character of Porthos remained male. Prada also portrayed the character Lou in the film Cats & Dogs. (from Wikepedia)
