I am glad I am not the only one with names that have no proper spelling. I call Ava so many things
Ava-Av - (sort of like Flavor Flav)
Aba
Biddy Dirl
RAT RAT - when her hair is messy
and my favorite .... RATAPOOIE - when she is messy and stinky
I would never admitted I call my dog a name with poo in it until I seen how many of us there are.
