Heh, nicknames are funny. My gran'pa was called Spud. Not for any 'tater-esque qualities, but because it rhymed with his best friend's nickname, Bud. "Here come Bud and Spud, wonder what them boys are up to?" And so on.
Here's our Bubba, named for the MSU football player. He's the beefy fellow on the right, backed up in his claim for a bag of cat grub by his brothers Pete and Teddy. His fierce gaze hides a big heart and fondness for tummy rubs! Sorry, just in a silly sharey mood on a friday afternoon.
