How many nicknames do you have for your pet? Do you think your pet knows that you are talking to them when you use their nicknames? This is a great topic that is covered by Sharon L. Peters of USA Today and is also highlighted in the blog Dogster. I was very interested in this topic because Zoey, Leroy and Stella have many nicknames…

Zoey (full name Zoey Anne Marie) : Zoeygirl, Zoester, Missy, Miss Zoey, Babycakes, Snowflake, Mrs. Waddlesworth, Zoey Chocolips Good

Leroy (full name Leroy Jose Miguel): Bubby, Mister, Mister Man, Le’ Roy, Baby Bubby Boy, Bubbert, Bubby Ganoush, L.L. LJ (Ladies Love Leroy Jose)

Stella (full name Stella Louise): Stella Bella, Flying Noodle, Noodle, Stellagirl, Miss Stella, Weezie. (Stella doesn’t have as many because we just rescued her in January, but I’m sure we’ll add to the list!)
They definitely respond to most of their nicknames. It’s funny how the nicknames just become them and vice versa.
I’d love to hear your pet’s nicknames! And as always, send a pic of your pooch to the Friends of A.G. page!
