My nicknames & politics


Some of you that don't know me that well yet may not know my nicknames... I really have two main ones besides the really mushy ones that I don't want to share with you tee hee. The one I'm most especially attached to is one that my mommy's mom Etta gave me... "little bicky". When Etta was a little girl in Dublin, biscuits or cookies were called bickies. Hence my nickname 'bicky'. Etta wasn't really a dog lover but because she loved my mommy so much she smiled sweetly and pretended to love me too! My mom even started a 'little bicky' knitware line last year - see the scarf I'm wearing in my blog main picture? I'm particularly fond of my green shrug which is a cable knit pattern.

The other nickname that mom and dad also like to call me is 'raisin' because now that I'm older my jet black puppy coat has turned into the same colour as a raisin. Plus I'm plump and sweet too!

Tonight we watched the U.S. and Canadian political debates and I have decided to vote for the Green Party - and not just because my shrug is green. I thought Elizabeth May was a firecracker! What I would like to see is more rights for poodles and a poodle tax credit that can be put towards organic meaty bones... and a family allowance cheque for my mom and dad so they can keep me in the style that I have become accustomed to. Bye for now - vote GREEN!
