POODLERAT NAMING CONTEST WINNER!!!!!!!

Ladies and Germs,
We have a winner for the PoodleRat naming contest. Thanks to all who entered. The names were all fabulous but after much deliberation and with the help of Winston the toad I have decided that the name Hipumquitch is the clear winner. It is a noble name and lengthy, hard to pronounce and unusual, and also impossible to shorten. PoodleRats dislike nicknames as they feel it robs a name of depth and meaning. So Hipumquitch it is and he is most welcome in the pantheon of glorious PoodleRats. Furthermore, this newly baptised PoodleRat will be making an appearance in the new book, “Feltus Ovalton and the Lost Warrior”.
A copy of “The Invention of Hugo Cabret” is winging its way to Thomas King (aged 11) in New Haven, Connecticut, as I write this.
Yay, Thomas!!!!!!!
