Jkpal, my poor baby probably has multiple personality disorder because of the many nicknames I've given him. I rarely call him Zeus. Zeusy has stuck. Just to name a few: Toot Toot, turkey turd, Gladys Kravitz (because he's the neighborhood watchman), Zeusy fruit, Zeusy Q, nubbin' lovins' (due to the nubby tail shaking), sweet, little angel baby, and Mommy's boy. I sing to him all the time (here are a couple of examples): He's my little Toot Toot and I love him, he's my little Toot Toot (to the tune of Little Deuce Coupe by the Beach Boys) and Zeusy, Zeusy Q (to the tune of Scooby Doo).
I also make up all kinds of things (for example): Mommy had a little puppy, his hair was black as night, he followed her everywhere, and tried to stay out of sight (to Mary had a Little Lamb), because he follows me everywhere and will be under my feet and I don't know it.
I love this furbaby more than I can express. I can't wait to get home from work everyday and see his sweet face.
P.S. For those too young, Gladys Kravitz was on the show Bewitched and was the nosy neighbor. |
