Terms of Endearment - Page 3

Just remembered a really weird one.   (I flicked on Bananas In Pyjamas this morning while

zapping through TV channels, and that reminded me.)

Back in the day when I didn't have my own permanent resident dog but used to be in & out of my

home with one or other of the various GSDs from Ronnie's kennel, the kid next door dubbed one,

Wesley,  "Banana Man".   For some reason known only to her;  I could never get a satisfactory

explanation out of her.

Occasionally theres need to get straight to it and bypass the propers.

I have a Notty Monkey

And a shouldn't

Ikon =  Byker or the Black Beast of Borneo

Demi= Demster Dumpster Diver

Bree= Breezer

Skye= Gizmo or the whirling dervish

Khali= Kalinda, or KaliKadoo

and a few that are a touch over on the dark side... LOL

All my dogs come to "Dirtbag."

I had a Demi also  aka   "Demolition Demi"

Scarlet my 11 yr old cocker spaniel is  THE BRAT, Wiggles, and Prissy Britches.

YR

When Beau-Bo wants to come inside and thinks everyone has forgotten him, he makes a high pitched plaintive intonation. At which point hearing this, I feel I then must impel a child into action with the request,

"Will someone, please! Let Squeakers inside!"

Yeah Bee, but does he answer to "Rhino"  ?

We do call him that when he makes his Rhino noises, which are usually made during some kind of complaint that does not involve doors, but for which his equilibrium in how he views the world has been encroached.

And when he fell in the pool by accident, snapping at flies, I had to rescue him with these soothing words, 

"Rhinos don't float! Use the steps....to get out... This way!"

Poor baby! He is leery of the different pool levels. Prefers a gradual entry. I am going to have to give him swimming pool tips and lessons. It just is not coming to him naturally. That is how I know he has not a drop of Labrador in him.

Spelling phonetically on some.......

Loki was "Big Dog", "Psycho Einstein", "Loker Dokers", "Loki Bones"

Isis is "Queen Bitchie Poo", "Icey", "Girl-girl", "Girl Pup", "Goomba", "Hurricane"

Ronin is "Row-row", "Old Man Dog", "Row-bee-bow", "Robe", "Row-knee", "Row-knee bones"

Now my son is "LokiRoninIsisMichaelThomasCutterJax oh geez just get over here......"  He just stands there until he hears his name and laughs at me....sheesh, no respect

Jyota (pronounced Joe Ta) = Jo or Joey
Joy = Baby doll
Hero = Dip shit
Lucky = Ducky
