I have a problem with calling something by its given name meaning I can't just say my pets name I have to add something to the end of it.
Some examples---
Olive= Olive Bunion, or Olive Girl.
Katy= Mandaline Violin and on a good day I switch Violin with Trombone to the end
Sophie= Sophaline (a combination of her first and middle name) and Snow Pea
Sage= Sage Brush
Nubbins= Nubbins puppy, turd sniff and depending on my mood I combine it all for a title of Turd sniffer nubbins puppy.
Eli= Malowlow, I got it from his sister who called in Eli Malowlow Hamburger Hotdog.
I guess it is just nicknames, but I have not idea where I get some of them. Poor Tacy has never gotten a nickname from me I don't know why but I just haven't found something that clicks. Maybe someday I will...
