What do you call your dog…?

[FlemishHorse]

…other than their name? Listening to The Archers today and Bessie the collie is addressed as “Girl”.

I’ll tell Lil the Lurcher she’s a good girl, but otherwise she is…

Mine is mainly baby puppy even though she's almost 4.

The Beast. Poppet. You little bugger (when in land shark mode 🦈)

Here he is, all lovely 11 weeks of him 😍

Ds calls her Little Criminal

My rottweiler was Fathead for 11 years...
Current ddogs are Pony, Bonebag, Polldog and Poodle...
Pony isn't a pony and Poodle isn't a poodle.

Farty pants
Stinky pawsies
If she is lying on her back and her stomach is on show, I call her ‘boobies’ 😂
Farty poopoos
Stinky kerplinky

Tinker - most used nn
Muddy Nose
Wonky tail (his tail bends downwards sometimes)
Name-y boy

and ‘off’, ‘down’, ‘away’…!

Dogster, my little pup star, baby dog or because he’s actually 13, little old man dog.

Stinky McStinker of the Clan Mcstinkiest (after Foxpoo rolling)
Tod ( The Other Dog) for whichever dog is not in the room

And a billion variations of their names.

I call the bitch ‘my wee girl’ -
she’s a tall lab and weighs in at 27kg, so not that wee.

The male will always be ‘handsome boy’

Bobby (which is his name)
Bob
Bobster
Mr Bob
Little furry fucker (if he is being a little furry fucker)

Woofy
Doggy Woof
Sniff (he’s all nose)
Honker/Honk (when he’s extra stinky)

My user name and versions thereof:

Hambone
Bone
The Bone

Plus his name and abbreviations of his name. No idea why we started these bone nicknames, presumably because he likes chewing bones?! 🤣

Billy (his name)
Bilbo (probably more than Billy and we’re not LOTR fans)
Bilbo Baggins (still not LOTR fans 😂)
Billy Bobby Brown (DS is a big Millie Bobby Brown fan) or Billy Bobby for short
Billy Bob
Billy No Balls (since being neutered poor thing)

Oh and Slinky Malinkey because he’s tall and skinny (of course he is, he’s a MN dog!).

Diamond dog (when she gets dew on her nose)
Pumpkin
Pupper
Scootbum
Warhammer (inappropriate - she's a chihuahua cross)
Beef sick (appropriate)

A shortened version of his name.
Fluff butt (he's a Border Collie and does have a very fluffy butt).
Good boy.
Fat boy (he is).

This is Barky Robinson

I used to work my dogs on a shoot. One of the guns had a spaniel we all knew as Ted You Bastard as that's all we ever heard him call it.
