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)

"Flea-ory" is classic, as is "Dude." We use "Dog" in "Dude" circumstances.

It does me good to see that other pets out there are laboring under a huge list of nicknames. I can't seem to help myself; to be fair, though, the children have as many as the dog. We can't even bring ourselves to call her "Phoebe" anymore. It sounds so foreign, after almost a full year of "Phoebus", "Phelboochoo", "Phelbuttcheeks", "Bustle", and "BusBusMaldiggy".

Hahahahaha, man, your list! You guys think up the best nicknames. (I want to know the story behind BusBusMaldiggy, by the way.)
