No Wonder Our Dog Is Confused

I imagine the readership of this blog is probably around 85% female, maybe higher. Knowing that demographic, I doubt many of you will find this phenomena strange at all.

Our dog's name is Maggie. Mags, sometimes we call her. Buddy...at times if I'm in a good mood. But the following is a list of what my wife has called our dog (not as adjectives, but as proper noun names) in the past 2 weeks. Knowing something about the laws of probability, and with an estimation of some run-over, this list is no where complete. I imagine the list could triple if the sample size where taken during the course of a year:

Bootlebutt
Doodlebutt
Doodle(s)
Butt
Pooty
Farty
Fart-face
Licky
Sleepy
Snorty
Snorie
Crazy
Munch
Munchy
Munchface
Big eyes
Monster
Alien-dog
Doodle bug
Bug
Baby dog
Burpie
Gassy
Moanie
Whiny
Baby
Pokie
Pushie push
Pushie poot
Snuggles
Snuggle bug
Slobber-face
Fussy
Shaky
Shivers

I think we've got at least 4 of Snow White's 7 dwarfs covered so far.

  1. haha! One of the fun things to do with a dog, is call them all of these different names but in the same voice - it cracks me up when they come running to you each time cause they think it's their name. Hilarious. Or, I'm easily entertained. Either way - great names Katie! Love Alien-dog!
