For some reason, the idea of this guy's puppy being named Mazzy stuck with me, and I kept thinking about it. For reasons I can't really articulate, it struck me that anyone who would name his dog that must be an annoying person. So persistent was this random idea that I looked up Mazzy to see if it was a real name and if so what it meant. Apparently, there's a band called Mazzy Star, and the name is so closely associated with that band that someone on a baby name forum said naming your daughter Mazzy would be the equivalent of naming your son Lynyrd (as in the band name Lynyrd Skynyrd).
A few hours after seeing and strangely fixating on this post, I was out and about and did a double take when I saw someone wearing a T-shirt with a picture of a beagle wearing a football helmet, with the name MAZZYS written on the helmet in big letters. On second glance, it turned out to be HAZZYS, not MAZZYS, but it still struck me as quite a coincidence.
I didn't get a photo, nor was I able to find that exact shirt online. I found these two, though:
The one on the left has the helmet, and the one on the right has the name HAZZYS, and you can see it's the same dog. The one I saw had the name written on the front of the helmet.
Then today in my regular scripture study I read the last few chapters of Job, including this:
Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? (Job 38:31-32)
Mazzaroth, which might be abbreviated to Mazzy, is a hapax legomena, referring to some unknown constellation or constellations, and is left untranslated in most Bibles. One common understanding is that it is a general reference to the entire zodiac. However, the two Dog constellations are closely associated (in Hesiod, for example) with the Pleiades and Orion, so if it refers to a specific constellation (as it must; the whole zodiac can't very well have "his season"), one of the Dogs would be a good guess.

William,
And yet another Yellow , Red and White, and number 8 sync, no ?
Regarding the yellow sync: The Beagle pictured in this illustration
is of a *** Rare*** breed called a Lemon Beagle.
The Red and White helmet that the Lemon Beagle is wearing
are colors of not only Switzerland, the Red Cross
and the Rosicrucians of course but also
in Alchemy; the Red King and the White Queen.
Of course I've commented about the number 8 a gazillion
times on your blog.
Beagles, which I've had several Beagle mixes in my lifetime,
have a reputation of being headstrong ,stubborn, independent
often challenging their owners with their unwavering
determination to pursue their interests.
The *** Rare**** Lemon Beagle and the black background
with the wording Grand Prix is interesting given that the word
prix means:*** payout or price.
Perhaps the sync Faires are giving you a message
of always being independent of thought ( a rarity these days!! )
which of course thinking independently absolutely
has it rewards (payout), IMHO;-)
Also interesting (and given the fact that beagles
are headstrong and this yellow ) beagle
is wearing a helmet ).....the meaning of William,
(which of course I know that you already know this),
copy and paste etymology:
"...of Germanic origin (cognates: Old High German
Willahelm, German Wilhelm), from willio "will"
(see will (n.)) + helma "helmet," from Proto-Germanic *helmaz
"protective covering" (from PIE root *kel-
"to cover, conceal, save;" compare helm."
~~~~~~~~
And last but not least, the twin Z's in both the names,
Mazzy and Hazzy.
In the alphabet the letter Z is the 26th letter, which of course
reduced to a single digit is EIGHT.
'Dem sync Faires do have a sense of humor, no?

A red helmet with a stripe ought (in billiards terms) to be 11, not 8. This ties in with the debate over whether the Strength card of the Tarot should be numbered 11 (as in the Tarot de Marseille) or 8 (as in the Rider-Waite). Most versions of this card show a woman with a figure-eight-shaped headdress, which ties in with a helmet labeled 8.
