Pet Names

“Sweet Cheeks” and “Snookums” don’t frequent my lips, as deadly as words like “Waistline” and “Hips.” “Muffin” and “Puddin’” are in the same class, calling her that puts me right on my ass. Naming her “Kitten” might give her some pause, while coming at me with very sharp claws. “Sugar” and “Pickle” I never will … Read morePet Names
