That means there's yet another layer! Assuming the dog was named after the state.

A Phoenix is reborn through fire.
A fire is also known as a blaze.
If you feel the need to "blaze up", one could say you are Jonesing.
We've cracked the code!

There was a dude in Seattle who went by Phoenix Jones. He fashioned himself a masked vigilante, roaming the streets saving people from muggings and assaults.
Turns out he was mostly just picking fights with drunk frat guys. And we're pretty sure he was dealing drugs and using the superhero facade to beat up his competition.

In WWE in the early 2010s, there was a mexican wrestler named "Alberto Del Rio" which, if translated, would be "Albert of the river"
One day I started thinking about just how stupid that is. This guy is traveling the country in those days, going to NBA size arenas, and little 5 year old white kids are yelling at him in his native language "OF THE RIVER!!! OF THE RIVER!!!!". Not because the kids are being racist. The kids don't even know it means that. They're yelling it because that's his "name", and his boss is a racist who found it funny.
Then some years pass, find out he beats women, and no longer feel bad for him.

If that last part is true he's the dumbest drug dealer ever. He was on the news and giving interviews about being a vigilante.
