When Fido doesn't cut it

My beagle is 6. Her name is Clancy…we rarely call her that…below is our rotating list of terms of canine endearment…what embarrasing names do YOU use for your critters?

little one, baby girl, little miss wiggle butt, little miss frito paws, psycho hound, insane girly, (and currently):puddin’ pop

dave

…stupid smileys…that should be Puddn’ Pop

My Dog’s name is Amy (my mother’s choice, not mine), she is a Border Collie and terrified of everything, so of course I call her “Killer”.

I call my cat Mach the following: my baby, sweetie and crack kitty (but that’s only when he goes tearing through the apartment at the speed of light.)

For some reason, I refer to my Daisy-Bob, as Dinky-Dog.

Eh, don’t ask me.

These are just the names I have for ONE of my cats:
My main man
My little man
My skinny man
Naughty man
Dirty man
A man with a plan
Mister
Mr. Man
Mr. Monkey Man
Mr. Pie Man
A Pie up High
Acrobat man
Bat Man
Clover man
Clover face
My boy
My little boy
A Bad Bad Boy
A Bad Bad Man
High-up boy
High-up man
Outdoor man
Wimpy man
Fraidy cat
Fussy cat
Fang man
Crybaby

If I listed my other cats’ names and my dogs’ names, well, you’d be reading a really really long post. :slight_smile:

…yep, you’re a freak :smiley:

My wife’s cat is pudgy…I call her Chubbo the Hut…the wife tolerates this for some reason.

Funny enought though, she does NOT appreciate it when I say “Cat: the OTHER white meat”…go figure

The dog’s name is Nanama

We call her “Nama” and “Nana,” but most often she gets called either “Baby” or “Kitty.”

We’ve said that someday someone is going to be very tripped out when they visit my parents and they call the dog in by going, “Here kitty!”

My friend’s cat, Jake, quickly became Hake, then Hockey Puck, then just Puck. Or Stupid, depending on what he’d done recently.

This reminds me of an old cartoon.

Two dogs are apparently meeting for the first time and one of them is says to the other, “My name is, ‘Get The Fuck Off The Couch,’ what’s yours?”

We called our basset (whose real name is Benson) Ace, Chief, Cap’n, Slick, Sport, you get the picture.

Naturally, this means our son is Little Ace, Slick Junior, etc.

My Siamese cat gets called lovebug, sweetie-pie, schmoopy-butt (don’t ask), scnookums, kitty-kitty, honeyball, cat-person, and the obvious plays on her name, Tiki. These include Tikiquita, and Tikster.

She calls me “Meeeeroooooow.”

Dog, Doggage, Evil, Doggalicious, Doggariffic, Dogma, Puppy, You.

Our dog’s name is Lang and most of his pet names are variation of the original:

Langie, Langers, Ba-Langers, Langer Doodle, Langer Banger Ding-Dong, La-La-La-Langers (must be sung to the Chia Pet theme), and of course, Spaz.

I call my cat Zoey “ZoeZoe Kitty”. Not very original, I guess, but I spend all my creativity naming the fish. He doesn’t actually have a name, so I just make one up every day when I feed him. Today he was Oscar.

Our dog’s name is Jimmy, but I call him Jimmy Poo, Jimbo Jones, Jimby, Jimmy James, Jimmy Jam, and Jim.

Our big cat, Squeaky, gets called 'Queaky, Creaky, Kwi-Kwi, Fluffy Britches, Fluffy Bottom, Captain Queeg, and Thundering Herd.

The little cat, Orion, is called Rye Kitty, Stupid Kitty, Ryan, and O’Brian (by my mother in law and the neighbor girl). He’s quite a bit younger than Squeaky, so he hasn’t amassed as many names yet.

Our dalmatian, Pixel, gets called Pixellator, Pix, or Evil Dog
Our border collie, Bernie, is Hairball

FUNNY!

My cats—sisters, from the same litter—are Lillian and Dorothy.

Had I known how much they’d wind up hating each other, I’d have named them Olivia and Joan.

[silence while SD’rs scratch their heads at yet another of my indecipherable pop-culture references]

Sigh I don’t have a puppy.

I’d say this list very closely matches the list of names ex-girlfriends have called me :smiley:
