So, I can never just call a dog (or person, for that matter) one name. It bores me. So usually there are a few names that all my pets go by, besides their given one.
Bear: Pooper. Poopy. Pooper Dog. Pooper Dooper. Baby Bear.
Oscar: Kid. Stinky Butt. Mr. Wiggle Butt. Kiddie.
Meatloaf: The Loaf. Meat. Meathead. Loafer. Buddy. Loafy.
Gravy: Graves. Baby. Pup Pup. Puppy.
Tess (who is no longer with us): Tessy. Messy Tessy. Baby Girl. Baby. Tesser.
Now, when I was growing up, we had a Daschund named Pippen (Yes, after Scottie Pippen, who happened to be my favorite basketball player) and I think that’s when the nickname thing started. He was the original Poopy Dog. Then when I got Bear he became *THE* Poopy Dog. God, I love that dog. 🙂
