Malcolm’s Nicknames

Does anyone else nickname their pets? Jimmy and I get kind of ridiculous with this habit. For example, we call Lola “Reebs” more than we call her Lola. That’s another post for another day, though 😉

Below are the nicknames we’ve come up with for Malcolm… so far.

  • Mal
  • Malc
  • Malkie
  • Mallard Duck
  • Melchizedek
  • Planet Head

I should probably explain the last one. When Malcolm is in play mode, his pupils dilate and his eyes look really round. One night, Jimmy and I agreed that even Malcolm’s head seems more round when he’s playing.

Malcolm looked at us and Jimmy was like “If your head was any more round, you’d be a planet.” Now when Malcolm is playing, we just call him Planet Head.

Do you have any silly nicknames for your pets or loved ones?

Things I want to remember

Giving a devotional on the book of Esther at my church. I loved it! I’m so glad my mom could come, too. She had to do some unexpected traveling that day for a family emergency, but made sure she saw me speak first. Thanks, mom! If anyone wants me to post about the actual devotional, I would love to.

How hard working and talented my husband is. Kitchen renovations have been happening in the Zottola household!

How wonderfully challenging it is to write and edit a book.

How much I adore animals. Everything about them makes me so happy. I would love to have another dog. And a cat or two. I just need to convince Jimmy ;).

Pet sitting

How lovely freshly baked bread and cookies smell and taste.

That I can’t trust Lola as much as I’d like to. The little miss has been quite the escape artist lately! I was mowing the lawn on Saturday and she snuck out our back door (while Jimmy was working on our kitchen renovations) and blew past me. I ran after her and thankfully caught her. Jimmy carried her home and she looked so guilty. It was actually really cute, haha. It’s comforting to know she still has lots of spunk, even though she’s almost 10-years-old.

And just for fun, one thing I’d like to forget is the feeling of accidentally dropping our oven on my foot while Jimmy and I were moving it. I thought about posting a picture buuuuut I don’t think anyone really wants to see it ;).
