Alfie became Alfa-reenie, which turned into Reenie.
He also gets "OMG WHY" when he insists on licking my face.
"Whiny bitch" is also a common one.
Mr Woof had a bit of a compulsive face licking problem when I first got him, so I had to advise him quite frequently that "no one likes a dog who can't hold his licker". It sunk in eventually, I haven't had to use that one for years.
I give my little dog a new name every day. Today it's Princess. If he pees on the carpet it's Mr Pissy Pants for a week.
And the new cat?
There's no new cat but I did name him Slinky when he was here.
Chookchook
