Bitch, I said what I said

I'm always telling the dog she's crazy. I think I say it more than her name. Usually when I'm saying her actual name it's cause she's doing something I don't want her to. I say the boy's name more but I also tell him he stinks (usually he doesn't actually). The cat I just call different nicknames mostly but I'll say "oh yeah, scritches" like I'm talking for him because he loves the scritches.
So OTHER THAN their name or a nickname, what do you say to your pets?

we started calling our cats "chippy" after seeing the tim and eric where's my chippy thing on adult swim back in 2008 or whatever and it's stuck ever since

so like "chip chip", "little chip" or "hey chippy", that kind of thing, to greet them instead of their actual names sometimes

I do not wear this mask to protect me. I wear it to protect you from me.

"Get out of my face" to a cat with no idea of boundaries. I realize he wants something but at 2 in the morning I don't feel like doing anything about it.

What're you doing what are you doing

It's to a dog who is, whenever I ask him that, is generally being happy to see me and is all wags. Nevertheless, it is still my daily responsibility to inquire with him what he's doing.

Your move, creep.



sometimes my dog walks up and just stands there staring at me and eventually I'll turn to him and say "ok, tell me a joke"

then he jumps up, spins around, and looks at me and makes weird grumble sounds

then I say "I don't get it but good try" and I give him some pats on the head

Usually I greet my cat with "what's up big guy?" when I come home from work. When I leave in the mornings the last thing I do is give him a pet and say "see you later."

I tell him I love him several times a day.

When he's overstimulated and swats at me, I say "OK, monster man."

Yeah I think it's important to ask probing questions to the pets because you never know the day they might say "pretty good, thank u for asking" (in my mind all dogs use "u" and "ur" etc because they're doing their best)

Gonna play tasty.

Maggie-in-the-Way is practically my dog's name.

I once promised myself I would stop saying "You're a dog!" to her. I made it about three seconds.

Singing: "Maggie, you're a dog and you pup it up! Maggie, you're a pup and you dog it down!" Going up into a falsetto for the first line and down into bass for the second. Also singing "Hey Maggie you're a dog, you're so dog you are a dog! Hey Maggie!" to the tune of Hey, Mickey.

She is old and slow and mostly gives me the stinkeye and wanders off when I sing to her.

I say "hey Little Buddy!" because his name is Little Buddy and he comes out of his little cave to see me when I get home.

I also say "time for nummers!" When he gets his mealworms and/or crickets and he zips out of whatever he is hiding in.

He is a leopard gecko

Black Gold!

I tell my two cats an unhealthy amount of times a day, “I love you so much.”

I call my tannish tabby Nacho “handsome boy” and my black and white Blanco “tiny boy” or “chueco* ear” because he’s got a tipped ear.

* chueco: Chicano slang meaning crooked, but can also mean hosed up.

‘What have you got in your mouth? Give it to me’ as I pry open the jaws of one or the other of my rescued pit mixes and pull some weird object out of their mouths.

They have about a hundred toys, but insist on stealing some strange thing off the counter or table.

We have an unreasonably small and sweet looking little cat, and sometimes I will point at her and loudly ask my partner "What the gently caress is that?" as she stares up at me innocently.
