For some reason, the strangest thought popped into my head today… that my life is kinda like Snow White’s. I (with my blinding pallor and dark hair) live with my prince in my castle, and have these little boys shadowing me. Except that I only have four dwarfs, three of which walk around on paws.
So the next thought was obviously to name my four dwarfs. Let’s see… Kramer is an easy one – he’d have to be “Furry” since he’s a husky. For Sushi, the name “Fraidy” would be appropriate (as in Fraid E. Cat) because he’s so shy.
Cosmo is a bit harder because so many good nicknames apply. There’s “Weenie” because he’s such a chicken. He can frequently be found running with his tail between his legs, and he refuses to set his paws on the least bit damp or cool grass. Some lion-hunter he is. Then there’s “Dopey” because of how he runs head-first into things and has a completely one-track mind. But I think the most fitting name for him would be “Noisy.” He is always so loud. His stretches are loud. His eating is loud. His toots and burps are loud. His yawns are loud. His mutters are loud. His walking and running is loud. Even his breathing is loud.
For Levi, although “Cutie” is tempting, I think that’s too generic. So he would have to be named “Smiley.” He is such a happy baby. When we’re feeding him, sometimes we have to give him smile breaks because he just can’t wipe it off his face long enough to eat. You can even get him to smile while he’s crying, which makes for quite an interesting sight.
So there it is. Snow White and her Four Dwarfs, Furry, Fraidy, Noisy and Smiley. If only we still had Hugo. Then we could have a fifth dwarf named “Scratchy.”
