We have three dogs, all seniors.

Racer is my step-granddog, an 14 year old black Aussie mix of some kind. He's Racer, Racey-Race, BooBoo, Race, Old Man.

Jazz is my 4 lb chihuahua. She's 15. She's Jazz, Jazzy, Goofball, Jazzlette, Jazzy-Wazzy, Jazathon, Spaz.

Hope is a recent rescue, a JRT mix. The vet thinks she's 10-12. She's Hope, Dufus, Hopey, Dopey-Hopey, Hopers, Goober.
 

Our last pet has been gone for more than 30 years. My son named her Audra after the character on The Big Valley but I used to call her Cat Baby. She passed away before I met my (future) husband. Funny thing is when my husband and I went to visit his sister in Virginia a couple of decades ago, she and her husband had guardianship over a young boy who they had nicknamed Cat Baby.
 

Juniper. June the purr, purr girl, juner. Vicious animal (she's really not, she just thinks she is)
Talia. Nothing else really.

Departed Chloe. Nemee
Departed Daphne. Pooper. She was super fluffy and would sometimes get poop stuck in her fur. She was also super grumpy.
 
My lovely Norwegian elkhound, who passed away, was named Shana. We nicknamed her Moose/Moosie. 💘

I have 3 Zo is a little chiweenie, I call her DoDo because she looks like a tiny deer, she is also baby girl, tiny ting, tippy toe. She is a little sweetheart,
Then there is Toby Jo, his name came from his foster mom, he is a little terrier. I added the Jo in honor of the people that found him just for me. His nicknames are fat belly, snuggle bunny and big boy,

Last but not least is Bear. His Dad died suddenly from a heart attack. His Dad got him after he lived with me for 3 months recovering from a lower leg amputation. He grew to love my little dogs in that time and decided he wanted a dog. He wanted a manly dog so got a purebred black chow. Well that puppy if now a full grown 80# pup. He is the sweetest animal I have ever seen. My two littles still have not accepted his presence and it has been two years. Well he is called the Bear Bear, Mister Fluffy and LoveBug. The funny thing in the whole story is the friend got one in his mid twenties that he could not take care of, black chow, that came to my husband and I, Yes his name was also Bear and the first one was just as sweet as the second.
 
My wheaten has several nicknames, including Sweetie Pie, Baby, and Hog Dog. He basically comes to any name I call him, and the whistled tune we used to call my dog when I was kid. The best way to get him to come, because he responds with the greatest gusto, is to yell "Where's my dawg?".

So the nicknames don't bother him, even though I've patiently explained why I sometimes call him Hog Dog.
