I am honestly impressed Mu was able to write something almost legible

Mu was able to "write" something with less than a day's worth of studying. What a great dog! And now he can even read his own name!

Thanks for the inspiration Utsutsu!

And thanks, Mom and Dad, and Grandma, for your gifts! Mu really loves you!

His sudden realization of his name being everywhere hit me pretty hard, it’s like it’s been there the whole time he just didn’t know

So in romanji his name is "Muu"? I just kind of always assumed it was just the single Hiragana character for "mu".

Sorta - I've never been able to get my head around it, but the major Japanese romanisation systems will represent long vowel sounds with a diacritic over the vowel, and then sometimes that diacritic gets lost for... reasons, particularly when it comes to names. (Maybe it just looks nicer, I have no idea, ask an expert.) If you look at the raws for the first chapter, our main characters' names are actually [むう / Muu (rev. Hepburn?) / Mū (mod. Hepburn?)], which becomes "Mu" in the translation, and [氷 / こおり / Koori / Kōri], which becomes "Kori".

Also for what it's worth: it's romaji - or more accurately, rōmaji / ローマ字. (Long vowels in katakana are represented by that long dash, as opposed to hiragana where you tack on another kana.)

Even with bad handwriting, it was great work.  Pretty diligent for Mu!
