Puff Enough
by carolynholm
Cher Madame,
It is not fair. The Poppy gets all the nicknames.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
Everyone gets nicknames around here.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
The Poppy gets her own special nicknames. Poppers, Popsicle, Popchek, Even Honeypie.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
I call you Sweetie.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Ouf, Madame calls everyone sweetie. Everyone. And baby. And even honey. Mais il faut dire, the honey name is used with a difference. When Madame is being firm. As in, “no, honey, you can’t do that.”
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
It’s all said with affection. Hey, sometimes I call you Puffy.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Alors, there is no dignity in Puffy. Madame calls Winston The Puma. That is a much more dignified nickname, and he is hardly dignified enough to merit such a name.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
I also call him Slinky.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
That is a name that suits him.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
You are such a dignified cat that I keep it formal with you, sweetie.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Formal? Ouf. Mais, what about Puff Enough? Madame likes to say “Are you Puff Enough?” and then chuckle to herself. Alors, what is this Puff Enough?
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
It’s how I entertain myself.
Love, Carolyn
