Monkeybun declared she is keeping Smudge on page 4 of another post. I thought it warrented a bigger announcement, so am submitting this poll. For the record, there is some question about Smudge keeping this adorable, perfect, wish-I’d-thought-of-it name. Monkeybun likes to foster species confusion along with fostering cute bunnies. OK one bunny. Smudge, that is. So if you have a great suggestion for Smudge’s middle name, post it here along with your vote. It has to be better than Moose, which I (Me, myself and I) thought of. Beat that.
lol!
Capybara! Capy! Coolest animal evaaaar ~
Uhm… more seriously though, I like: Ibex, Lamb, Mink (to keep with M theme), Panda.
Are we sticking with the M-species series? If so, here goes:
Mastodon Smudge
Man-Eating Smudge
Ms. Smudge
Monster Smudge
Marsupial Smudge (Soupy Smudge for short)
Smudge-Mouse
HA! Man-Eating Smudge… I lol’d
Wait, they don’t have to be just animals? What are the rules!!!
I like Smudge-Mouse.
Yes, technically Monkeybun would like them all to be just animals.
Monkeybun also wanted to foster a bunny then give it away.
I rest my case.
Animals!
Previously, when me and hubby were discussing names for future bunnies, we came up with Gecko, Frog, and Bug
That’s why you need to leave naming to me.
But if she were just not so cute…. I mean you can’t really blame monkeybun.
Yeah, cause most bunnies are really ugly. If you find that rare cute one, well…
I wish I could have adopted her but my dad was against it. I’m thinking it would have been an instant bond with chacha. Both are sweethearts.
well, Brittany, I do tip my hat at you for such strength and sensible yiellding to your dad’s decision. Take it from someone who has a quartet: more bunnies aren’t better than one, they are just more work and cost more money. I do love mine but next time around I’ll stick with just one, and satisfy my bonding ambitions with other people’s rabbits. And: even sweetheart bunnies don’t always make bonding easy…
Where IS Rabbitpam hiding?
True
He said I can get another when my job is better. Another year or two. My dad loves animals, he just wants to make sure I can pay for two bunnies.
I’m glad that smudgie has a great home
I voted for where is rabbitpam? She seems like she wants to steal smudgiekins.
Lol, that was my vote too Brittany.
I just posted in small talk thread before seeing this one. Smudge actually does have a small critter hiding in her name already! Can you pick it? I also proposed Budgie Smudge.
I also like one of MB&Hubby’s names; Bug. Even better there is actually a bug called a Smudge Bug !!!!!!!!!
Smudge Bug!
Yeah, I think Smudge Bug is my fave of these picks : P
If we refer back to when she posted the first photos of Smudge I already called it that she was keeping her!! She slipped up right away with something about bonding and then now look where we are :p
Out of curiosity, why does the topic name say “Snort, gfaw, chortle?”
LOL.
*pops head up from hiding place*
I had just read in the small talk thread that MB was keeping Smudge. Naturally I LOL’d loudly at the inevitability. Thought it warranted an announcement and some major teasing. For all of you who make me feel REALLY OLD, “snort, gfaw and chortle” are words often used in the funnies to describe really big laughs. (And if you say “What are the funnies?” I’ll smack you. Comic books, Sunday comics, etc.)
Lintini’s arms are sore from patting herself on the back. Bwaahhhhhhhahahahahha!
I prefer Smudge-Mouse to Smudge-Bug because it’s still an animal that starts with M.
Plus I thought if it.
*Lintini, now my arms hurt….*
I vote for Smudge-Mouse too… Cus sorry, Smudge-Bug, real or not, sounds like something you’d find sucked up in the grill of your car or smashed under your shoe…
I’m glad MB is keeping her…. this means we can see pictures of her all the time! Speaking of…. **poke poke poke** we need some more pictures!!!!!!
Man you have no idea how much crud I gave her when she first got Smudge. I was like yeah…good luck giving her up for adoption I know you are keeping her. Seriously my arms are aching from patting myself on the back!!! LOL!!!
I too am glad she is keeping her so we can see more photos lol!

Yeah, cause most bunnies are really ugly. If you find that rare cute one, well…
LOL
I have just one question – are you going to tape Smudge’s ears down until they lop? I was told you were only getting another bunny if it was a grey lop, so make it happen! And I vote for Gecko, just because I like Geckos, even though it doesn’t go with the original name of Smudge at all.
Here are some M animal names Meercat, magpie, mammoth, malamute, mallard, manatee, marmoset, mockingbird, mole, moth, mongoose, mountain lion, mule, muskrat, mouse, mare, manta ray, maltese, milksnake and many many more.
EDIT: Oh and mink, milipede and minnow.
grey smudge-bug, no smudge back! lol!
I’ll take lots of pics of her, don’t worry
D’awes…looks like the cute little Smudge-pillar has wormed it’s way into your life! ^_^
What’s wrong with SmudgeBug? It’s adorable!
My daughter says, “Haha…told you so!”
Dang…now I must hunt elsewhere for Fiver’s helpmate.
How about something non-animal…like macaroon?
Oh…and I ditto Pam’s diatribe about folks who don’t know sunday funnies’ vocab…lol.
…can I just say something here? I was giggling at this whole thread, so obviously it called for finding MB’s topic on Smudge to see a photo(and she is adorable!)
And then when someone on that topic asked something about M&M, your other two, having seen her yet………it hit me.
Smudge is the perfect name! Because NOW you have M&M&S..which translated in my mind to M&M’S.
Congratulations on your bag of candies!
I can’t foster, cause fostering would turn into adopting, but kudos to you for it.
DallasDelight you are brilliant!!!!!!
Because face it, my FAVORITE name is just Smudge.
(And my favorite candy is M&M’S, but don’t tell Weight Watchers.) Plus, MM stands for MimzMum and her brood, so the M&M’S are the Monkeyshines clan.
No good poll is missing photos. *Poking stick in MB’s (camera) eye*
I’ll take some more of her later, after I get home
get home already!!
I haven’t left yet to go out lol. Going to a potluck thing… not sure what time I’ll be home
Did she pull the hay over herself????????
My daughter’s going to have apoplexy when she sees that pic of Smudge under her hay…Pip does this while she eating, completely buries herself in her food…lolz!
Oh and BTW MB…the King IS lovely, but I think the hub has officially put the kibosh on any further bunnies because, while in Petco during their setup for photography specials this weekend the other day I saw these lovely long-haired piggies coming in with Animal Control, one had black fur with a long pinfeathered white ruff-gorgeous! (and I don’t care for piggies that much) Anyway, upon remarking that we were lucky that they hadn’t been bringing in bunnies for photo ops, he about blew a gasket telling me how we were NOT getting ANY MORE BUNNIES.
Sooo…that’s that. *gloom* So the 3 I have are just going to need to learn to get along together it would seem. And that’s okay. But I think it’s lovely that Smudgie is staying with you. She’s a doll!
Monkeybun, your bunny-numbers are climbing, just like lintini’s.. (i still cant belive she’s got yet ANOTHER ONE!!! thats like her 5th right?)
Yes, MM. Smudge does that herself. She’s a silly girl
When ever I see her pic I see a bird. Her nose marking looks like a large bird expanding it’s wings. Or maybe a bat, a dragon.
Of course this inspires more names. Birdy….or Odette after the swan princess. But lets face it. Her name is SMUDGE !
btw, no-one has found the small critter hiding in her name yet? It’s right there!
DEGU!
10 points for MM! Thanks for playing the word puzzle..hehe. You can even get “Im Degus” out of “Smudgie” Poor thing’s confused.
I have never ever seen a bunny pull hay all over themselves while lying down. That’s hysterical!
It’s not an animal but a bird. I love the name “Lark” for a wittle bunny.
Silly Smudge thing for the day: Last night, we had the bunnies out separately for playtime. When it was Monkey’s turn, she was sitting next to Smudge’s pen, happily stealing hay through the bars. She grabbed one piece, a nice soft orchard grass piece, and was happily nomming, when part of it went through the bars to where Smudge was sitting. Smudge grabbed it, and yanked it out of Monkey’s mouth to nom on it herself
My girls are nomming together They sat there for a good 15 minutes just eating hay together
Awww! Could they be? Like BBFF’s?! Have you had them meet outside of the pens? Instant bonds are possible between 2 girls. Kokanee and Kahlua for example.
HA! Monkeybun, I just got such an adorable mental image that I could *feel* my face lighting up.
Remy and Momo actually did something similar the other day with a piece of cilantro, although instead of eating it together they were pulling it back and forth like tug of war
: P
Maybe you were meant to have two instant bond girlies! I can picture them eating together! Too cute!
I want two girls
I think the girls are going to rule the Moose, uh, roost.
