Tiddle and Niggles for Chelby
I use these two words a lot and realize some of you may not be familiar with them unless you are Brit or Irish.
Tiddle means to sort of pat into place and do little extras as in "I tiddled up the parlour before the guests arrived." Disney is now tiddled up. I wiped some of her eye stains off, removed some twigs from her fur and gave her a quick brushing.
Niggles are things of minor importance that bug you as in "My list of niggles includes: wipe off the stovetop, change the towels in the powder room, etc." They are basically things that take less time to do than you've spent thinking about them!
