You haven’t lived! They are very rare though, so I am not surprised. I always get told she’s a labradoodle. It’s a pity as CCRs are lovely dogs, but everyone seems to want a dog with a cute name. Their coat stays that length, so no costly trimming!View attachment 90608View attachment 90606

Ooh, thank you! She’s fabulous!

No grooming? I need one, maybe two! ?

Im often heard calling-out a bemusing collection of nicknames at my whole crew: Baloona, Tick, Looney, Bunty, Billum, Kitten, Po-gee, Wooj, Fatty, Pingu, Sugar-puff, Mr Marley, Merly.

My OH is included in that list too ?

We called the JRTs collectively 'The Gits'. I am sure all JRT owners will empathise. They had beautiful manners and excellent recall when on a walk, we took them to woods and the beach, allover the place, in the car and on foot with no problem whatsoever (once Sadie had grown out of being car-sick) but they spent every moment at home getting into some sort of trouble.

I used to have a tiny dark tortoiseshell cat called Posy, who soon became Posy-pom because she looked like 2 pompoms with legs and a stubby tail. She was the most feisty cat I've ever known.

Dhahabu (means 'golden' in Swahili is usually referred to as Bums. Some transmogrification. I think it came about because we called him 'Habus' for short and the non-African members of the family thought we'd called him Bumbles.

Jinny is known as Pinball. Because she was Jinny Pins and she pings around.

My daughter is called Doods. A diminution of Tabitha, you know.

Cecil is mostly Cecelia or Pig dog, this is because he reminded us of a piglet when he was little and my non doggy mum once commented he reminded her of that film, what was it…. Babe! ??
He’s Cecelia to me.
Basil is Bees.
Spud is just that really although when he’s very good or smug he’s Spudlington Fairbanks ?‍♀️?

Clover is Clove(s), Clovy, Aussie Girl, Pig (only my brothers call her that, unfortunately she responds).

Shadow is Shad, Shadowkins, Shaddy Boy, Pup pup, Puppykins (tried to give that nickname to Clover when she was a puppy and he was outraged), and when he is in desperate need of a haircut he is Scruffy, Scruff or Scruffykins.

I never nicknamed Willow but I frequently added dear or darling after her name.

My lovely old Felix coloured cat was called Syd but became Sydney Robert aka sydBob. My ginger cat called Tinker became Dave. Current lurcher Meg is known as ploppy or poo. Or the Megladon! In shark mode.
