Meet our meatballs
Molly isn’t the only one who has about a hundred nicknames, our two rabbits are victim too of my never ending urge to give things (alive or not) silly names. Their official names are Haas and Streep (if I translate this, it’s gonna sound pretty silly, but since the nicknames I’m gonna write about are even more silly, I’ll give it a shot) in English they’re called Hare and Stripe. There you have it.
I like to call them The Meatballs because of their brown with gravy like appearance. They also listen to the name Furpants (Bontbroeken). When I make a grocery list I write ‘Vegetable for Furpants’ on it, or shout at the husband “Hun, did you get food for the meatballs yet?!”. At the moment, I prefer to call them Bruuske and Shania (and pronounce it like the Flemings do: “Allez! Bruuske!”).
I keep laughing about it even when the joke is long past it’s perishable date. Ah well, our meatballs don’t mind. As long as we give them their Furpants food in time.
haha, ik zit hier in m’n eentje hardop te lachen op de bank, whaha! Het is zó herkenbaar, die stomme nicknames! Zo noem ik poes Thijs structureel ‘lelijkaard’, of lelijk dier’, terwijl ze best knap is. En onze cavia’s heten Theo en Ronnie. Maar ‘meatballs’ is wel echt te gek. Dank voor de lol! :D
….hahahahaha….I LOVE your little Furpantses & I think Meatballs describe them PERFECTLY….!
My furbaby (cat) Baxter Berens (he shares our surname) has many nick names:
Booba, Poom or Oompa (for Oompaloompa), BB, CC (for Cupboard Cat), Big Boy & Mummy’s Little Man….All of which provide ME with much AMUSEMENT….!
Hope you’re having a LOVELY week….!
Cheers from Australia,
Tamarah :o)
Ik zit hier gewoon hardop te lachen.
Geweldig!
Haha, your reactions made me laugh out loud too!
@Anki: HAHAHA, lelijk dier vind ik heel sterk (net als Theo en Ronny, zó camp dat het weer grappig is)!
@Shabby Vintage Junk: Heehee, we call our cat Molly Snijder (my surname), what joy those silly names can bring eh? :-)
Pets are supposed to have lots of nicknames. My pets each have about 5 a piece. ;)

Geweldig! Wat een mens gekke gewoontes heeft hè? Vlaams praten doe ik met mijn vriendin ook regelmatig, de hele dag, tot vervelends toe. En een lol dat we dan hebben! En onze mannen vermijden ons dan… Prachtige foto trouwens, die onderste. Helemaal mooi!
so cute!
