Pet names for your animals

Claremont

Tragic news just now, Yuki the cockerpoo will join our family tonight. My friend has had him from a puppy, but she has lost her battle with cancer and her children can't have him. I so hope it will all work out with Yata and Minou. We never expected to be asked. He is 3 years old.

Good luck.

Cockerpoos can be adorable but can also be very strongwilled.

Well, well GranJura /Fleurpepper etc Welcome back!
I thought it was you but you denied it so vehemently I was almost prepared to admit my mistake!
How do poor little Minou and Yata get on? Minou must be quite an age, you first wrote about her years ago

Quelle surprise 🤷‍♀️

Really! hmmm

Yata and Minou get on very well- and I am sure thea will adjust to Yuki and vice versa. So far,, so good.

🤞

DD's cat certainly lets the dogs know who's in charge, but only until the little dog decides she's the boss!

I’m intrigued by the name Yuki, Claremont. - is it pronounced like Yucky, ie not very nice in children’s language, or Yookie?
We had a tortoiseshell cat when I was a child, and the poor girl, who was no oil painting, was called Monster. Looking back, my poor mum calling her in at night would be shouting Monster! I just wondered if Yuki was along the same lines.

I had a sister in law called Yuki.

I imagine it to be YewKey?
Like Newquay!

Ah, poor Monster! Not only not a pretty tortoise shell but saddled with that name 😂

Why were dogs named after drinks at one time? Whisky, Brandy, Sherry, mind you I never came across one called Vodka.

Is she Japanese?

My dog is a gentle girl who sometimes gets called Tiger !I have a Japanese friend called Yuki. It means Happiness.

Yes! Betty is often Boo-boo, Poppy is poet, or Pops, or Pombear!

Silly isn’t it!

I had three cats, Brandy, Whisky and Champagne, many years ago

Yookie - it is its name so won't change it. Ive known him since he was a puppy and he is as good as gold and very obedient. He has met Minou, and it all went very well. No issues with Yata- which I knew would be the case as they have met many times before.

My farming neighbour has a big xbred dog called 'pooopee' - I've tried a gentle correction, but 'pooopee' he will remain. Mind yu, she has a son called Vicky!

Jayda tha Mini-panda is also known as the baby, Oinkers (Hubby), and Madame Grumpy (also Hubby). (Jayda loves me but doesn't like anybody else. We are not sure why.)

Qi (cue) tha Mini-tiger is also known as Little Girl (Hubby), Qi-ee (cue-ee), Boops, and Boopsie.

Our rescue Cocker Spaniel was called Bobby before we got him. We named him Ollie as he was only 7 months old!
I always call him Ollie Bobs!

Merlin is sometimes referred to as Mer-Mers. Renée is sometimes called Ren-Rens or Little One. Fleur is, well, just Fleur.

Of course, when Renée jumps all over my nicely ironed pile of clothes she can be known as Little Sh*t!

My cats have proper human names but when my plump
girl lies down for a tummy rub I call her my roly poly kitten dumpling (from The Tale of Tom Kitten)
My boy is usually My big beautiful black boogie boy.
My dog is addressed as BE QUIET!

Thanks. Poooopee definitely does win I think!

My mum could remember everyone's dogs' names but any & all cats all got called "Plinkin".
We did have a cat called "Mr Mckellar's cat's kitten" (or Plinkin) when I was about 5.

I was just over at my son's the other day, and was petting his sweet little calico, called Lucy. Son says 'Poo-cat has really taken to you!"

Apparently Lucy's digestive issues have granted her a new nickname.

it is of course spellt 'puppy', but there is no telling her!

I’ve DD2’s Littld Dog here - being referred to as pea head, as his groomer had been a little over enthusiastic!
Once had a Labrador here for training called Bubba or Piggy! First lesson was to get him whistle trained, so I didn’t have to should either for him.

Did you know about the chap with two Rottweilers? One was called Rolex, the other Timex - the were watchdogs! Ta da!! 😂
