I keep calling Smokey the cat "Olive" (our daughter's name). Argh! Well, better than calling my daughter Smokey, at least!
Do you ever use your pet's name to refer to your LO? Or vice versa?

When DS first came home (5 weeks ago) we kept calling him our pups name! Woops!
-
I call my kids by my dogs name all the time...... my kids correct me quickly!
eta: In my defense they are both always at my feet and follow me everywhere (dog and kids!)
-
My parents call DS the dog's name all the time! We haven't yet, but a friend of ours calls their daughter their dog's name and vice versa all the time.
-
All the time after LO 1 was born. Now just the girls.
-
Yes. My husband is Bert, son is Bradley and dog is Blackie- in any given day they all get called something other than their actual name!
-
We don't have pets but I do it with my husband and son all the time.
-
All the time! Doesn't help that the dog has a human name (Ben) and DS's name isn't that far off (Dez, short for Desmond)

We keep mixing up our baby's and younger dog's names. And also we keep calling her bassinet her crate and the pediatrician her vet... We've been dog-parents for 5 years and baby-parents for 3 weeks, it's going to take some time to adjust, lol!

lol
my sister and mom have used our dog's name, but I haven't!
-
All the time, and our dog's name is Phyllis. Poor LO!
-
Yeah I keep calling M Zeus for some weird reason lol.
-
The first week I had a hard time not saying "good boy" (like I would to our dog ) to DD.
-
I did when we first brought her home but I haven't for a while now!
-
Yup. I even emailed my dog walker and used my LO's name. Doh!
-
All the time!
-
All the time!
-
No LO yet, but I struggle with not telling kids to "release" or "drop it" when they have something they shouldn't. Definitely the commands we use for our dogs...
-
Haha yes we constantly call our son by our cats name and vice versa! They are both our babies so it makes sense I suppose.
-
I remember my mom constantly calling my the dog's name as a kid. I just thought she was crazy but I'm totally guilty of calling DH the cat's name (and the cat has a very silly name).
my sister and mom have used our dog's name, but I haven't!
