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…

We call ddog chicken, chicken pie, chicken pie number 1. She also responds to 'let's go' in the same way as the names as we say it as a kind of recall in a similar way- her name is Coco but she knows all her names as well as this r of the household. When she asks me to take her out I tell her which other member of the household to ask by name and she does so dutifully

Sniffy
Sweets
Milly Molly Mandy
Pupper
