Enough people wanted me to put this on YouTube that I went ahead and opened myself an account. So here it is for any of you who haven't seen it yet. (Yes, Hunter, it IS my dog, but I like to think I did a decent job of making it entertaining for everyone...)

hey, i added you after your admiring my pup! (shallow?)

i don't think i could get poppet to do this, but she would give it a go, i think. she has all the style and grace of a baby grand piano.

I think mutual dog admiration is a perfectly good reason to be friends! My gal is a staffie-border collie mix and she has made me fall in love with bullies! Your dog may have the grace of a baby grand piano, but I'm sure she's a doll. Poppet is such a lovely name and so much harder to pull off if you're not British...lucky you!

poppet is her outdoor name.

indoors i call her moo moo.

I understand. Outdoors my dog is Abbey with acceptable variations such as Ab or Abbey-O. Indoors, just about anything goes: Boo Boo, Boo Boo Baby, Kiss Kiss, Big Smelly, etc., etc. What's love without embarrassing pet names? (I sometimes dog-sit a large and gorgeous collie whose proper name is Cedar, but I like to call him Floof Poof!)

ye-es... poppet is only *technically* her name, like at the vet's. generally, if i call her i shout 'hey hey' or 'pops' or 'this way'. sometimes i use variations on poppet in the songs i make up for her.

i also call her sillyface, which i have actually said outdoors a few times.

i wanted to call her enid. but she wasn't wearing it.

You make up songs for your dog as well? My dog loves it when I sing to her! I'm glad I'm not the only one!

some of them are adaptations, some are just plain rubbish.
