INU Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 I've been thinking about some of the words people use to describe BCs- mostly people who don't know about BCs.What kind of words come to your mind when describing your BC? Just for fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Hmmm... Lazy (never thought you'd see that word applied to a BC!). Dainty. Cute!! Sweet. Girlie. Suck-up. Jealous. Piggie! Gentle. Shy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INU Posted June 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Lunar, That is the word! I have been looking up dictionary to figure out what this lady said. Dainty - not dante (duh!) what does that mean anyway??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INU Posted June 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 I just looked up. This is a nice word, isn't it dain?ty ( P ) Pronunciation Key (dnt)adj. dain?ti?er, dain?ti?est Delicately beautiful or charming; exquisite: ?No dainty rhymes or sentimental love verses for you, terrible year? (Walt Whitman). Delicious or choice. See Synonyms at delicate. Of refined taste; discriminating. Overly fastidious; squeamish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Yes... and I think it describes Oreo so well. Like when she pants, only the tip of her tongue shows. She has small little paws, a sweet little lick-kiss when she likes people... she's just all-over dainty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urge to herd Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 We call our guys Border Weasels. Shoshone is actually a rare blue eyed red nosed Border Weasel, in fact. We started calling Sammi a weasel not long after we got her, and they do all seem fairly weasely much of the time. Mostly, people just ooh and aaahhh over Shoshone - she's quite striking, with the blue eyes. Then they ask, do they really need a lot of exercise, and I tell them . . .

Gwen Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Clever, sweet, pretty, zoomie, snuggly, hoover (eats anything), lovey She also has a hysterical sense of humor. We play this game where I'll hunch down and "stalk" her and give her the eye. She'll give me the eye back and be frozen. Then, as I get closer, she pounces, licks my face and laughs (you know that really obvious dog smile, only bigger - combined with a happy pant). It's a really fun game - I never can predict when exactly she'll break her eye and tag me - she ALWAYS wins the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 One of Kirra?s therapy dog clients called her what I call her sometimes ? ?precious?. Our herding trainer calls her ?Little Miss Kirra? ? from the days (hopefully now past) when Kirra would do exactly as she pleased rather than what we wanted! At times she is also ?demon bitch?. Fergus is ?goofball? or ?goofy? (but lovely with it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCCrazy? Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Hi All; I've been reading this site for a long time but this is my first post. Prompted by the "words to describe"! I have 3 BC's, Jamaica who is 2, Rex who is 3 and Luke who is 1 year. They were all rescue dogs from shelters. My neighbors "fondly" refer to Rex as "Tweak", since he always seems to be tweaked when he is running around!!! Too much fun and always entertaining!!!

MiaP Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 BCCrazy? Welcome! The words I use to describe Mia in a loving way, of course! cheater sneak crazy She's a cheater because she never wants to bring the ball all the way to me - she always drops it at least five feet away. She's a sneak because if you don't throw her ball fast enough to suit her she will sneak up and pounce on the ball to let you know that she is waiting..... still! And crazy because she's crazy about her balls! But mostly she's just "Mommy's baby". Gotta say, I absolutely love this kind of post..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistntag Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Tag has been referred to as Pretty Boy er eh, Handsome Boy, Mr. Obstinent, Daddy's Boy, Workaholic, the Shadow (because he follows right next to us wherever me move to), the herding maniac (came after he attempted to herd my mother-in-law while she was pushing the push-mower), and for some reason, people have problems with the name Tag (seems simple enough to me) but he's accidentally been called: Tab, Tad by my boss, who now jokingly calls him Tad-pole, Tug, Hug (don't know where that one came from but that's what my step-son accidentally called him).

INU Posted June 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Thanks for sharing all! Sounds like a lot of you have a spazzy, precious and beautiful BC! MiaP: Jazzy does the same thing... I gave up on making her fetch and bring the ball to me after I saw three other BCs doing the exact same thing!! What is up with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiaP Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 INU, I taught Mia the command "closer" to get her to bring it all the way to me but she always acts like I'm punishing her when I make her put it right next to my foot. I'm sure it's just another one of her ways to manipulate her mamma..... she has me wrapped around her pinkey toe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdl Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 I have called her: Cutie Pie Sweetie Sweetheart girlie girl devil dog goofy farm doggie turkey bear butt freckle face cookie (her spotted legs remind me of oreo cookie dough ice cream) Others have called her: skunk dog (because of her coloring NOT because of and of smell) attack dog (her playful biting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdl Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Oops I forgot a couple main ones: Mama's baby piggie (if there's mud, she'll find it - if not she gets that piggie look from digging) which results in: Naughty girl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaelinTess Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 My husband's nickname for Tess is "Doodle." He has named my cats, too... Connie is Stinker or Boogs, and Mage is Squeak. Really, though, we should have named the dog "Hurricane" or "Sneak" as those describe her much better than "Tess." Allie & Tess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
