    Thought it was just us as well :D

    We have a 5 month old Golden Retriever called Dexter but he is often called Dex, Dextonious, Dexy, Boy, Dexter Fletcher and many other names when he's naughty :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 569 ✭✭✭boodlesdoodles


    Bailey gets called:

    Baileyboodles
    Oodles of noodles

    Bailster
    Bailey Bailey five stick-a-nailey (I dunno :o)
    B*ll*ck chops (OH not me)

    For some reason the OH teases him by calling him pr*ck and it gets him really excited, Bailey not the OH! I'm sure our neighbours think we're abusing him.

    Reading this back I think my husband and I are actually insane.

    Love this thread!

    Judy beagle gets called Moody Judy, Mariah (because she is a diva), Rude Jude only when she farts, but mostly she thinks her name is Biscuit, cause that is what I call when trying to get her in from the garden! :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 692 ✭✭✭i-digress


    I forgot Miss Wiggles! We call her that because when she wags her tail her head bobs from side to side and her whole body moves!

    She's the best thing ever!

    We also sing songs to him, main three being "hey hey wait a minute mr harley", "if you like it then you should have put a harley on it (all the single bitches)" and "I like big butts" EDIT: when you sing I like big butts he stick his ass in the air



    haha, we sing 'all the single pups, all the single pups, now put your paws up' and lift his paws up. Very sad but I'm slightly relieved to know we're not the only ones that change the names of songs to suit the dog :o
