As well as my proper name “Whistletyne Harrington” and my pet name ‘Angus” I seem to have acquired quite a list of nicknames too.
Some are quite good, such as Angus McTangus which is nicely alliterative and pays homage to my Scottish ancestry. Monty Don is a tribute to my advanced gardening skills.
Some are less polite, such as Thug! and Bitey McBite Feet, and when I lie on my back I think Christmas Pudding is a little harsh,
There’s an especially long one which I think may be lavish praise for when I bite their trouser legs. Ow! Gerroff you little bugger! which is a bit of a mouthful for me to say when I have a mouth full of trouser material.
So many names. How will I remember them all?
Angus
