Nicknames
Over the years all of my pets have had nicknames.
Some were obviously derived from their proper names…
Beauregard —> Beau
Scooter —> Scoots or Bootsie
Harlequin —> Harley Q
Matilda —> Tillie
Some were based on physical characteristics and give you a clue what the given animal looked like…
Beauregard —> Beast
Dulcie —> Larddonkey or Orca (guess who is gray on top, white on the bottom, and fat?)
Sasha —> Fluffers
Clove —> Pumpkin Belly or Couch (as in, the color of my old one)
Some were based on personality…
Lucy —> Lucifer (although she is not very devilish in reality)
Roscoe —> Fizzbin (referring to the fluff in her cranial cavity)
But only one truly has no explanation…
Tillie —> Goatgirl Monkeypants.
Sometimes these things just happen!
