His sister gave him a birthday puppy. “You need company.”
“What kind is it.”
“Mutt. I saved her from the pound.”
Ralph studied the dog. “I suppose I’ll call you Sir Winston.”
He carried her around the block, then set her down inside the front door. Suddenly, a yellow puddle originated from Sir Winston, spreading across Ralph’s Epicurean hardwood floor, oozing into his Epicurean Persian rug.
“Oh my,” said Ralph. “We can’t go teetles in the house.”
NB: The gender isn’t a typo. My Ralph named his girl dog Sir Winston.

Yes! I was after those contrasts.
hahahaahaha. I don’t know what makes me laugh most, but “teetles”, I think, may be the winner. HAhaha. Absolutely delightful.
Oh good! It sounded weird in my head, but perfect at the same time.
‘Teetles’ made me laugh. This was funny.
I imagined it as something his Mom used to say that embarrassed him but that he couldn’t QUITE expunge from his vocabulary.
I think that’s going to be an interesting relationship! 🙂
“Teetles” is perfect! LOL

I giggled at “teetles’ as well. Trying to make it SO fancy like 🙂
