| Now what do I do - stupid husband alert. My dh can't let ANYONE in his life go without a nickname, He is currently calling Adie Buzz Buzz but his usual nickname for her is Dinky. Now that we are getting Skeeter (Adie's 1/2 brother - now 5 days old) he has decided that he has to come up with a nickname for him! He has, unfortunately latched on to the name Doinky to go with Dinky. Sigh. The really bad news is that the dogs actually respond to his nicknames. Adie is sometimes Nummy Stubs while Cassie is most frequently called "Box of Rocks". I admit she isn't the brightest dog in the world but she is the sweetest. Ivan is called Ives and Moose. Which aren't as bad given his 112lb frame. He used to call our basset Bucket Head!!!!!!! Does anyone else have to put up with this crap? </IMG> |

| Some men just have to give them his own names. He is not doing it hatefully is he? At least he is letting you get and keep them all. That is saying more about him then anything. Keep you chin up. He does love them too. Naming them funny names is his way of showing he cares for these little guys in a manly way. LOL

| @ Doinky & Dinky, Sorry I can't help it! At my house I'm the one always coming up with the nicknames for the furbabies. I refer to them as The Poopies, Rocky is The Master Poopie while Bella is Baby Poopie, also Poopie Boy and Poopie Girl, Poopsters, pretty much anything with poopie in it, and I have no idea why I started this either or even remember when I started it! I'm assuming it was before Rocky was potty trained though I also sing random songs about them, like I'll take a song and change all the words up to match Rocky or Bella, they love it, but I'm sure my fiance gets annoyed.

| Yep, all the time. It ANNOYS the mess out of me! He calls Cash, my male, Lee-Harvey, and Lucy, Ding-ding, like she is stupid. Sometimes he calls her Chrissy (like dumb blond from Who's Company) and he has named several puppies just the stupidest names that sound so absolutely awful. Oh, and to top it off, he now has his four year old son calling them the same thing! I really try to just ignore it-if not, it only gets worse!! Laura Quote:

Donating YT 500 Club Member | LOL I'm sorry but these are hilarious! I'm sure it's annoying since you live with it. My dad called my rabbit LUNCH. My son named his grandmother Datin (we dunno why) so we started calling grandpa Dissin He probably does it more just to irritate you! (((hugs))) Call him something embarrassing in jest and see if he quits. But I think you'd have to do it in front of his buddy or something.

| When we decided to bring another puppy in our home, after living with out for a long time. (at least it seemed a long time to me), one of the first things I made him promise was not to rename the puppy. That does not keep him from callling her his 4.5 lb killer.

| I know that they do it lovingly so I don't worry about them to much. It does not stop them from getting on the floor on all fours and playing with them. It is just something men do to feel manly. They love it.
