top five nicknames for the dog

[constance]

Yeah, I know I was going to tell you five things I love about my boss, but after this morning, I can't think of anything except that he's alive and therefore fueling lots of grisly fantasies wherein I torture him slowly then kill him. So you get this instead, and I'll tackle the boss thing another day. I know; but please try to contain your sorrow.

1. Buki (short for Kabuki, on account of he looks like he's wearing a Kabuki mask)



2. Fluffmeister/Fluffmaestro/Fluffmonster



3. Flea-ory



4. Dude (always said in tones of flat disgust)



5. Oh-my-God-if-you-don't-leave-that-cat-alone-right-now-I-will-kill-you-where-you-stand (unwieldy, but evocative)

Isn't it funny how they accrue names? You start out with a pet with one perfectly good name and wind up with what sounds like an entire herd.

Barnabas the cat never ever gets called Barnabas. He shows no recognition when we say the word. He thinks his name is Boosh.

Boosh is a lovely name! You can't blame him for taking to it.

And yeah -- both my pets have a long series of nicknames. Rachel just ignores me, and Leory responds to my voice, period, even when no names are mentioned. Typical, really.
