Silly Dog Nicknames

Stinky Head! Mister Dog! Barkapotamus Rex!

Our dog has so many nicknames, I sometimes wonder how he remembers that his real name is Bodhi. We call him: “Bobo,” “Boo Boo,” “Noodle Head,” “Mr. Noodles,” “Stinky Head,” “Stinky Head Poo-Poo Pants,” “Stinky Butt,” “Pumpkin Head,” “Biggie Boy,” “Little Man,” “Mr. Man,” “Bodhi-Oh-Dough,” “Mr. Wigglesworth,” “Mr. Dog,” and “Zooboony!” (I am not entirely sure how to spell that last one! It’s just something I call him!) I thought it would be fun to find out what some of Urban Dog’s friends call their dogs!

Here goes!

Ginger

The Viszla below belongs to our Facebook friend Mark. Her name is Ginger. But her nicknames are: “Madam Gingerinsky,” “Ginger-Lynn,” “Ginger-Pinger,” “Ginger Perkins,” and “Red Beast.”

Reilly

This is Reilly, also known as: “Ry Dog,” “Ry Ry,” “Ry Baby,” “Rylopotamus,” “Reilly Pants,” “Reilly No Pants,” and “Barkapotamus Rex.” I love that Reilly’s mom didn’t stop at “Barkapotamus” and just had to add that “Rex” at the end!

Frankie and Baxter

Urban Dog’s Dr. Christina Moore has two dogs. Her Beagle’s “official” name is Frankie and his nicknames are “Francis” and “Little Nose.” Her other dog is Baxter, he also goes by “Bax,” “Bad Baxter,” and “Littlest of Noses.”

This glamorous Schnauzer beauty is Babette. Her owner, the equally glamorous Crystal, also calls her “Babs,” “Wabbit,” “Wabs,” “Worm,” and  “Spaghetti.”

    These were great. Now I know I’m not the only weirdo that calls my dogs by odd names. We must confuse the poor things terribly. My dogs, Francine Fishpaw (from Polyester), and Oliver Wendell Hearn, are known collectively as “the kids”, “the hounds” and “buttpups”. Francine is Bitty, Fatty, or LowRider. Oliver is Poopoohead, probably because he is part poodle, or Schtinky because he smells sweaty when he comes in. Over my lifetime I have had so many dogs with so many weird nicknames, but these are the current dogs.
