Your Name For Your Dog

[BigDog2191]

Does anybody have nicknames that they call their dog instead of the actual name that you tell everybody is their name?

I constantly call Rocky "Little Bear", haha... yeah, yeah - laugh it up.

But I do call him Rocky but generally I just go from nickname to nickname (he responds to everything), so what do you do? Stick to the name that you've dubbed your dog or go with nicknames?

 

[M&M's Mommy]

I stick to their names when talking to them. When I wanted to talk about them behind their backs, i.e., straight in front of their faces - but do not want to cause any commotion, I use their nicknames

 

[Lizmo]

Lizzie's
Lizmoo )
Lizziemo
Liz
Biz
Izzy

But she really responds to any of them, only because she hears my voise

Major's
Major Boy
Buddy
Maj

He only responds to Major

I call Ripley an extremely embarrassing bunch of baby-talk nicknames. The most common is "smoooooodles". I usually only use his real name when I'm giving him a command or when he's doing something that he needs to stop NOW.

Dakota really doesn't have a bunch of nicknames that I use on a regular basis, though I do call him "buddy" a lot.

I don't have any nicknames for Gypsy but I do like to take that song "country roads" by Bob Denver and replace it with "gypsy rose" and sing it loudly to her. She hates it, I think it's great!

to the place I belong.
West virginia, mountain momma,
Take me home, Gypsy Rose"
