She call our cat "Cat" although his name is Tag, but that is likely because DH calls him cat as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-call-your-pets-by-name#post-1009377 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 07:28:25 +0000 littlek 1009377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He tries to call them by name. He LOVES them. We have given B the "chore" of giving the dogs a bone after a walk, he loves it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-call-your-pets-by-name#post-1009362 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 07:22:16 +0000 heffalump 1009362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BananaPancakes: My dog usually listens to my LO! It's weird because she'll say, "lay down!" and I can barely understand what she's saying but the dog seems to get it. They also have a love/hate relationship. But our dog is new, she was used to our old dog and loved him so much. I think it'll change over time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-call-your-pets-by-name#post-1005931 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 08:00:52 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1005931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. She used to refer to both outside dogs as "Nala" (the older lab's name), but she now says "Artemis," "Nala," and "Freckles." She's been saying Nala and Freckles for a long time, but Artemis only for the past month or so. I love all the cute toddler/pet stories. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-call-your-pets-by-name#post-1005926 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 07:56:00 +0000 BananaPancakes 1005926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Eh, I think toddlers just like to be bossy, so they've picked up commands before things like "good dog." I think it's funny because our dog just ignores him and knocks him over when he's getting too pushy. They have a love hate relationship. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-call-your-pets-by-name#post-1005755 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 01:48:02 +0000 heffalump 1005755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BananaPancakes: my lo is always saying, "izzy, no!" Makes me feel bad because I know she got it from us and I swear we don't just tell her no, we say a lot of good girl too. But of course she doesn't pick that up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-call-your-pets-by-name#post-1005754 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 01:45:45 +0000 heffalump 1005754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She can't really say it. Her name is lizzie, but she calls her izzy. Which is her cousins name, makes it very confusing. </p> <p>We thought about changing the dogs name (we just recently adopted her) but I don't think its a long term issue and the dog already answered to her name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-call-your-pets-by-name#post-1005518 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 21:29:52 +0000 anbanan15 1005518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS calls both dogs Kenji, our male dogs name. For some reason Ginger is so much harder to say :) He knows which one is which if we ask him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-call-your-pets-by-name#post-1005453 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 21:04:25 +0000 chopsuey 1005453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD still calls dogs "mung mung," but she calls my dog (in CA) by his name now. It's cute. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-call-your-pets-by-name#post-1005451 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 21:03:18 +0000 BananaPancakes 1005451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. And he thinks all dogs are "Mack." Though it's usually "Mack, sit!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-call-your-pets-by-name#post-1005367 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 20:34:24 +0000 MamaChin 1005367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He is starting to, I think it'll be his first word! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-call-your-pets-by-name#post-1005360 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 20:31:59 +0000 autumnlove 1005360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO started calling the dog by his name. I kinda miss dog-ggggggy! </p>
