What’s Your Dog’s Nickname?

Do you have a nickname for your dog? (Maybe we should ask “how many nicknames do you have for your dog?”)

A while back, we asked DogTipper.com’s readers about the nicknames they’d given their dogs…and the results were amazing. Over 1,000 dog lovers responded; we saw nicknames of every type but it seems that most nicknames fell into a few broad categories.

• Ravey Baby

And in the interest of full disclosure, we must tell you that our dogs’ nicknames are Tiki-Biki for our dog Tiki and Bar-Bar for Barli…our Irie was Irie-Wirey for our dog Irie. And we also have Poochichi and Poochy-Woochy which can be used for everyone.
