Pair of Pretty Platypus Puggles

March 28, 2017March 28, 2017Not That Mike The Other Mike

A platypus pup is called a “puggle.” They’re pudgy, perfectly pliant, with petite pointy paws and a perplexing paradoxical proboscis. To pick up a pair? Pleasure!

Precious!

All they need are a couple of fedoras.

    What? You mean you don’t keep a picture of baby platypiuses in fedoras handy for when an appropriate situation arises?

  It’s Perry the Platypus Times Two! (Yes, I like Phineas and Ferb… don’t judge me.)

I adore platypoda! Especially as puggles.

If some platypi possess magical powers and others don’t, would the others be Mugglepuggles?

  Oh, my, your brain is definitely in the “on” position, Debg! And, Allein, leave it to you to find such an adorable pic. The hats suit those puggles, don’t they. Reminds me of the Blues Brothers.

    The Blues Brothers! Exactly!

Who knew baby playhouses were so cute? They need tiny trench coats to go with the miniature fedoras!

  Oh, autocorrect, “playhouses”? Really??????

    What’s wrong with playhouses? They’re lots of…

      ? I did love that show. Doesn’t he have something new coming out soon?

I personally think Mike was getting scared .. he was running out of “P”s in that post.

  Petrified!

    Petrified? Perplexed, perhaps. Peeved, possibly. Petrified? Pshaw!

They look velvety. I want to rub them on my face.

  Me toooooooooooo!

Isn’t the plural “platypi “? (Just kitten.)
- Blue Footed Booby March 28, 2017 / 10:59 am
  
  Platypeese.
  - DebG March 28, 2017 / 12:19 pm
    
    Pretty please!?
  - Murray C. March 28, 2017 / 12:50 pm
    
    Wouldn’t that mean that the singular would be Platypoose?
- DebG March 28, 2017 / 12:18 pm
  
  Depends on whether you’re going Greek or going Latin! Platypoda/octopoda for Greek plurals, platypi/octopi for Latin. Yes, I’m an insufferable know-it-all.

    That’s why we like you. 😉

      Agreed!

        Amen. Dirty job. Somebody’s gotta do it.

Perfectly pleasing paradoxical platypus puggle probosci!

If they are doing math .. are they Platy-PI ?
- DebG March 28, 2017 / 6:13 pm
  
  My hat’s off to you, sir!
- Smartypants March 28, 2017 / 8:35 pm
  
  That’s their dessert…after a nice supper of Platy-peas!
  - allein ? March 28, 2017 / 8:57 pm
    
    Just watch out for puddles of Platy-pees.

They look pretty pooped.
probably from promiscuous paddling previously.

  Perforce.
