My favorite name for him, actually, is Otote. My little brother calls him that. I think it's adorable.
Is that pronounced "Oat-oat"? Because if so, poor Toto is still getting reduced to a food product.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Poor dog. It's not bad enough that he's named after a movie dog...he has to be called food too.
I laughed my ass off when Lucy's dog walker left a note calling her one of my own odder nicknames for her. Guess it must be apt.
(Wiggle-butt, in case you're wondering.)

Actually, it's more Oh-Tote, which I guess isn't much different, but slightly so.

Punishingly Intricate
Emily has taken to calling Toto, "Muffin."
aww that was the name of the dog my grandparents had when I was a kid.
My favorite dog nickname is "Phys" (like, "Fizz") which is what my friend calls his dog, Newton, sometimes.
Sometimes I call my dog "Mad Eye Moody" because he has one kinda googly (and blind) eye.

Because books.
Otote! I love it. Our Lucy, unfortunately, is often referred to as BadDogBad.

Procrastination is my game.
I have a to do list a mile long. I have nowhere to go today, since I'm still on house arrest, so I should be getting lots done. But, am I? Nope.
I finally just opened up the file for a quiz that was due on Wednesday. I was thinking about it as I went to sleep last night and had lots of good ideas. They're gone now. Oh, well.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I hope the ideas find their way back to you, vw.
I forgot to give Betsy eye~ma. I hope you find a resolution to this soon.

Thrive to spite them
I often call my cat "baby".
I'm not sure why or if it was something to do with moving, but she's turned into a lap cat for the first time in her life.

What Maria said. Eye issues are scary stuff.
