Nicknames

Somewhere along the line in the last three or four months, I’ve ended up giving Hound a new nickname. Herself always calls her “Pop” for reasons unknown, and until recently I did the same.

But for some reason or other, I’ve changed the name for her, and to me she’s now “Podge”. It doesn’t mean anything, because of all things she could be, fat isn’t one of them. Ever. She eats more now than she ever did, and it’s all a lot easier than it used to be but still, “Podge”? I don’t know where it came from, I’ve no idea at all.

Still, she answers to it, and Herself doesn’t object to it either, so it works for me in all aspects.

Now I just wish I could work out where it’d come from…
