I can't stand the term "dog". It has so many negative connotations. Sick as a dog, dog tired, that guy is a dog. The negative list goes on and on....
I call my girls, "my girls" or "my kiddos" I figure, people who know me know I'm talking about my human girls or my furry girls and can figure it out by the conversation.
If the person doesn't know me, then I'm not to worried....
