Have you ever had the feeling that you just have too many cats to fit on a Christmas card? And then you try to shove the dog in there, too?

I had grand plans for my signature… and then SOMEONE snuck in and I didn’t have enough room for both of our names.

Well, MomFOD came up with a solution a few years ago. She jammed all of our names together until they made an interesting to say word. Now, when it was just Rocky, Niles, Dixie, and Peabody, they were known as “PIxieRoNi.” When they adopted me, they amended it to “CrePIxieRoNi.”  Now that Rocky’s gone, we had to drop the Ro, and adding the ever-present fosters Louie and Sprinkle to the mix made a challenge that MomFOD had never seen before.

After much consternation where she was staring at a notebook and shushing me off her lap, she came up with the epic name of all names that would allow her to fit all of us onto their Christmas card. And that name is….

CrePIxieLouNiKle.

It’s a little weird, I’m not going to lie. However, it sums us up nicely and fits on a card.

Give it a try! Write down all your pets names, underline the syllables that you want to use, and then mix and match to see what else you can get! Some of our discarded ideas were:

Crepixiepliles

Crepixielinkles

SplixieLinies

Splixie Crilebody

and

Lousprinikiecrepi

What’s your combined name?

Love,

Crepes.

PS. Since it’s Tuesday, I’ll toss in a haiku. Eh hem…

Oh. It’s Santa sitting in a box. How about that.

Christmas Eve comes close

Under the tree you’ll find me

Our tiny, small tree.
