I always just called Norman "the pony," similar to the way we called our kids "the baby" during the first 4 weeks of their lives when they didn't have names. They fared better than the cats though, the cats have been here almost 2 years and they still don't have names. They don't seem to mind.amy324https://www.blogger.com/profile/13269984546811241769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113210295764288330.post-59446592888893927122010-05-18T08:18:12.531-05:002010-05-18T08:18:12.531-05:00Cute nicknames!

Funny how we give most of our pets/animals nicknames...<br /><br />I have a cat, dog and a horse.<br /><br />I'm on a "bear" kick - the cat is little bear, the dog is black bear (he's a black lab) and Rusty is papa bear because he's 20...<br /><br />I also call Rusty (my horse) Rusty Spurs or Pops or Gramps. The other boarder gets mad at me for calling him that, because she thinks I'm hurting his feelings! I gently reminded her that he doesn't understand what I'm saying...so as long as the tone is nice, it doesn't matter what I call him! lolLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01736592362765508427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113210295764288330.post-44830607222536842922010-05-17T13:08:20.624-05:002010-05-17T13:08:20.624-05:00Our three doges are: Huckleberry - Huckie, Speculo...Our three doges are: Huckleberry - Huckie, Speculoos - Lulu, Reveta - Veeter.

Also known as "Poopela". The show name of the horse I lease is "the Hamburgler" which no one likes. We call him Red so I think his show name should be Mr. Red in homage to the great Mr. Ed. My dog, Maestro, whom you know, is also called Mick, Mo, Maestie, Piccolini, Pickle, and Mickle, among other things. All my pets have nicknames, not all so interesting. Our new male turkey came with the name Turkelton. I call him Mr. T, Pete calls him Tom; his wife is Mrs. T to me and Tomasina to Pete. She came with the name Big Bird.Vivian, Apollo's Momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113210295764288330.post-69490598916922189902010-05-16T00:55:05.005-05:002010-05-16T00:55:05.005-05:00Heehee...I love Home Fry and the Bonster. :3Heehee...I love Home Fry and the Bonster. :3Katienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113210295764288330.post-38711562463694049492010-05-15T23:13:19.838-05:002010-05-15T23:13:19.838-05:00Arizona was dubbed "Ari" by Anita before...Arizona was dubbed "Ari" by Anita before he ever even moved in. I called him that on occasion before we moved to SPF, but when I told her I had a horse named "Arizona" she said "Thats simply too long. Whats his nickname?"<br /><br />I'd say a good portion of the boarders at the barn don't know his full name and usually call him Are-y instead of Air-y. <br /><br />When I write my ride logs, I usually shorten it to AZ and my dear friend Bobby calls him "Zone-zone" or "Zoners." I usually call him Punkin or Punkin-butt. <br /><br />Brandy is "B", "B-B" or "Bwandy!"<br /><br />Paisley is Pai, Pai-Pai, Paisle or Paisle-bug.<br /><br />We've got some good ones at our barn! I might have to steal this blog post and do all the nicknames I have for our horses.

My DH wonders what happened to the first three...I have no answer. I also call her 'baby girl' a lot, and 'Borat' when she yawns (you'd have to hear it).<br />Tonka (cat) - was named Tonka because he is Tonkinese and sounds like a truck. It doesn't get shortened often but he is sometimes called Tonks, Tonka Bean, & Beanie. Also, often, 'you f*#&!in' cat' because he likes to break &/or puke on stuff.<br />I've nicknamed my lease horse 'Brumby' for the blog and often confuse this with his barn name in real life. I like my nickname better, what can I say?<br />Cherokee (horse) - haven't written about him in awhile but I call him dumb-dumb, cause he is.<br />Edgar (Fjord horse) - his name is perfect but I sometimes call him Mr.Ed cause he's so damn clever.RuckusButthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14760056031442317243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113210295764288330.post-252461048957892412010-05-15T20:45:16.173-05:002010-05-15T20:45:16.173-05:00OOH - a sleeping Norman!
