The Misadventures of Peter Snugglemuffin


Who is Peter Snugglemuffin?



Let us start first with the origins of Peter's surname.


Many years ago, perhaps around fifteen or perhaps something less, I suddenly had before my mind the conjoined word "Snugglemuffin." It flew into mind as a cutesy and simply irresistible term that may have been greatly influenced by rabbits, particularly as we had had a total of two rabbits, across different decades. At one point I did nervously Google the term, hoping it would be a neologism but turned up one online reference across a woman's blog. So credit must also go to her for independently coming up with the same word, as well as anyone else whom has had it fly into mind.


At a 2024 Christmas party, I introduced my extremely dear friend's daughter to both Peter Snugglemuffin and Stretchy Susan, as we went round the house naming objects with playful names. I will never forget her adorable face as I suggested "Peter Snugglemuffin" and "Stretchy Susan" as names for two bins and she gave me a look and a beautiful "What" to suggest she had misheard me.
