How do you refer to yourself when speaking to your dog?

[LadyLothbrook]

Do you say Mum and Dad or say for instance your DH is in the kitchen would you say 'Go see Roger in the kitchen then, get a treat' sort of thing. Or something else altogether

Mummy and Daddy, and the kids are his sisters/brothers !

Mummy and Daddy!!

Mummy / daddy creeps me out, so names!

Mummy , daddy etc

Yep Mum/Dad .

Mummy/Daddy

If I'm sending her after dd I tell her to 'go get your sister'.

Mummy and Daddy of course! DS is his big brother and playmate in chief when he's here.

Mummy and Daddy, brothers and sisters. I also refer to others' dogs like that ("Has Mummy given you a bath?" kind of thing).

Mum and Dad

Mummy and pops.

DD owns our dog (at 8 yo) so I'm grandma. She's Mummy and DH is daddy. Which yes, is a bit weird.

The reason I started the thread was because my dog just knocked a glass with his tail so I said 'go sit with dad while I clear it up' and off he went to my husband but then it got me thinking how many people use first names. Glad to see how many use mum and dad.

I have to say, though, that when I heard a young Japanese woman talking about her extremely spoilt pooch as "my daughter" it did seem to be going too far. Maybe depends whether it's straight-faced or with humour.

We must be the odd ones out as we our first names and it makes me cringe a bit when people use mummy and daddy about us 😁

But then we don't have kids, so maybe it's connected to that?

(We do call the cat his brother though!)

Mummy and Daddy of course!

Mum and dad

@Northenplights I think a poster further up uses first names too

Mum and Dad, tbf the vet refers to me as mum as well when talking to the dog (not when talking to me that would be weird especially as he is gorgeous

Ohwo never Mummy and Daddy ever ever ever.

Use our names.

Mum and dad.

My mum is his grandma and FIL is his granddad - he knows who I'm talking about when I say each word and gets all excited if I tell him grandma is coming to visit

If I drive to the end of FIL's road and say "we're going to granddad's house" he knows exactly where we're going and will sit by the back gate until he's let in, haha.

Mum and dad here too! And he has a sister and a hairy sister (the cat) and he knows the difference!

Oh, and we have three black cats and they're known as his "kitty siblings" - he knows them all by name and if I say "go find Layla" he knows which one I'm talking about, lol.

Mummy, Dad and then the DS's/partner by name!
Although I think Ddogs are broken because what ever name you use they go to the door and to greet said person our the treat cupboard. Little weirdos.

Mummy and daddy.

The dc are brothers 😀

Mum and Dad and DS is his brother. My parents are grandma and grandad and their dogs are called Auntie X and Auntie Y. My sister is also Auntie Z 😂.
