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.”

Babette

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

Lola

One of our favorite canine neighbors in New York City was Tricia’s sweetie, Lola. She is also known as “Lola Bean” and “Lil’ Girl.”

Willow and Birch

Our good friends Tom and Bill have two Westies named Willow and Birch. Willow’s nicknames are “Willowbeast,” “Wills,” and  “Peanut.” Birch also goes by “Bud” and “Birchito.”

Finnigen

Our neighbors out on Fire Island, Patrick and Sloan, own Finnigen. He’s another one of Bodhi’s beach buddies. His nicknames are “Boo Boo,” “Sweet Pea,” and “Woobie.”

Olivia, Daphne, and Audrey

Another Facebook friend, Stephanie, has three Weimaraners. They are: Olivia, whose nickname is “Punky”; Daphne, whose nicknames are “Pudly,” “Pud,” “Mud,” and “Ears”;  and her champion Audrey, who’s also known as “Baby Baby” and “Tater Tot.”

Tarzan

Bodhi’s morning beach-walk buddy is Tarzan, but his owner Irma also calls him “Bubochka” (which means “little baby” in Russian! Tarzan is anything but!)

Reese

Reese is my college roommate Lenore’s dog. His nicknames include: “Reesie Dog,” “Pieces” (for Reese’s pieces, naturally), “Pupperson,” and “Sir Reese-A-Lot.”

PDQ Czar

This rescued Greyhound belongs to Ted. His nickname is “Lay-Z-Boy.”

Flora and Rive

Here are Flora, Rive, and Chris at the Dairy Queen. (I guess Derek is around the corner ordering a Blizzard!) Their nicknames are “Mamacita” and “Boo.”

Dozer

My parents’ neighbors, Gerry and Donna, have a Pug named Dozer. His nickname is “The Doze.”

Sam and Dexter

My parents’ late and lamented Tibetan Terriers were named Sam and Dexter. Sam was also called “Samuelin” and Dex went by “Dexterin.”

Paco, BO, and Bindi

Our friends in Fort Lauderdale Angel and Robert have three dogs. Paco’s nickname is “Papa.” Bindi’s nickname is “Beebee.” BO, seen below, is nicknamed “Bobo.”
