Did Wilma Flintstone have a dog?

Liam chewed through one strap on most of my bras so upon seeing the plethora of one shoulder dresses at the 2009 Oscars the thought occurred to me that this fashion choice might have been dictated by the women's dogs eating their bra straps. An LL reader commented that this style was pioneered by Wilma Flintstone and so it was! see> The question then follows did Wilma and Fred have a dog? Pebbles would have been a great doggy name but it seems that was the name of their child.

For those who are fuzzy on the Flintstones (on TV 1960-1966), here is a little bio:

Wilma Pebbles Slaghoople Flintstone (maiden name Pebbles or Slaghoople—see below) is a fictional character in the popular television animated series The Flintstones. She was the red-headed wife of caveman Fred Flintstone, daughter of Pearl Slaghoople, mother of Pebbles Flintstone and a grandmother. Her best friends were her next door neighbors, Betty and Barney Rubble.

Wilma's personality was based on that of Alice Kramden, wife of Ralph Kramden on the 1950s television series The Honeymooners. Thus, much like Alice, Wilma played the strong-willed, level-headed person in her marriage, often criticizing Fred for pursuing his various ill-fated schemes. Wilma would also often be the one to bail out Fred when one of his schemes landed him in trouble.

Eventually, Wilma and Fred were married, and Wilma became a homemaker, keeping house with such prehistoric aids as a baby elephant vacuum cleaner, pelican washing machine, and so forth. Wilma also enjoyed volunteering for various charitable/women's organizations in Bedrock, shopping, and (occasionally) getting to meet the celebrities of their world, including "Stony Curtis" and "Cary Granite".

In the original series' third season, Wilma became pregnant, and gave birth to the couple's only child, Pebbles.

When Pebbles was a teenager, Wilma (along with Betty) gained employment as a reporter for one of Bedrock's newspapers, the Daily Granite (a spoof of the Daily Planet of Superman fame), under the editorial guidance of Lou Granite (a parody of The Mary Tyler Moore Show's Lou Grant). While employed there, she shared various adventures with prehistoric superhero Captain Caveman, who (in a secret identity) also worked for the newspaper (a la Clark Kent).

Later still, after Pebbles grew up and left home, Wilma started a successful catering business with her neighbor and friend Betty, before becoming a grandmother to Pebbles' twin children, Chip and Roxy.

No Dog mentioned :(

Woof, Woof
