IBKFergus has become an official member of the family. Its not something one
immediately notices, she wasn't one day a "newcomer" and then the next just
another (fur)person I share my life with. It sorta snuck up on me, heck, I
hadn't really realised that she had been fully accepted until.....

I found myself uttering a nick-name

Fergus-mergus-iddly-ergus

She has a silly nick name; and therefore is officially no longer a "newbie"
but one of the clan.

No doubt there will be many more ("The phantom pisser" doesn't count)
