You lookin’ for me?

Do you have a dozen different names for your pet? Do you use them so frequently that your pet actually responds to many names?

Since Bromley first came home and sat with his regal paws crossed, we’ve given him the name “Sir Bromley”. He also immediately took on the Karate Kid moniker “Bromyalsan”. Most recently, “Bromallama” and the shortened “Llama” have even led to the name of our favorite trail as the “Llama Loop”.

Brewer gets “Brew”, “Brewski” and “Brewdoggity” most often. For his unending bladder capacity, and because he’s from Tennessee, we sometimes call him “Two-Gallon Jed”. And due to the dramatic improvement in his now-chocolate-brown coat over the six months since his rescue, we’ve been known to call him “Shiny Tim”. Last but not least, Brewer’s ability to slip out of his collar in a millisecond has inspired the name “Brewdini”.

jess - Nicknames are (one of) the best parts of having dogs. Shiloh is “Shy,” “Brownie,” “Shiloh Brown Hound,” (and therefore also “SBH”), “Stink,” “Stinker,” “Stinkaz,” “Trouble,” and “Mud.” Kenai is “Superkleen” (from when he used to avoid puddles and keep completely tidy at all times — weren’t those the days?), “Mister Keen,” “Captain Slackbladder,” (he needs to take lessons from Brewer, apparently), “Freakshow,” (when toys are involved), and “Baby Kenai” due to his unending desire to be in your lap, no matter how big he gets.

coldnose - Those are awesome Jess! That’s a LOT of names! I’ll have to post this on the fridge when we dog-sit ;-) I wouldn’t want to confuse him by using “Freakshow” when walking by puddles…
