I recently freed my 8 year old human child from a gap in the couch.

[-] cloudshouter@lemmy.zip 3 points 21 hours ago

Went on date last night. Ended up back at my place, had to put Dave in the yard he was being so hyper.

[-] heartSagan5@lemmy.zip 2 points 21 hours ago

Dammit, I knew I forgot something.

[-] idunnololz@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

My cousin's dog is named Grandpa and saying things like "I'm trying to get Grandpa not to lick his balls" or "Grandpa keeps eating shit in the backyard" just never is not funny

[-] myyass@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

Marcus lost his shit again.

[-] kamen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I bet there are chuckles from people who know.

[-] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 56 points 1 day ago

That's why I always assume people are talking about their dogs.

Sam just graduated from college and Mary is finishing high school

Me: wow, they have to be so smart! What breed are they?

My sister didn't really get the concept of names for pets when we were younger. We won some rabbits from a fair once and I named mine Licorice and she named hers Sarah. I'll never forget the horrified look on my friend's face when my mom once casually told my sister to, "Take some food out to Sarah's pen, she's been kicking at the bars all day!"

[-] okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Aww, I too had a bunny named Licorice.

I do recall that my coworker's son got himself wedged between the stove and fridge, so #3 is plausible for Human-Jennifer.

[-] crenquis@lemmy.today 7 points 1 day ago

Which reminds me... The best thing about giving your pet people names, is eventually somebody with that name will become a fixture in your life and then you get to refer to them as "Human Dave" and still call the pet Dave.

These are the Daves I know, I know
These are the Daves I know

Human David Hoffman
He works in my dad's store
He's worked here for 12 years
He'll probably work here for more

These are the Daves I know, I know
These are the Daves I know
These are the Daves I know, I know

Human Dave Gort
I've known since I was six
In grade eight he broke his leg
So we got drunk and sick

These are the Daves I know, I know
These are the Daves I know
These are the Daves I know, I know
These are the Daves I know

Some of them are Davids
[Human Dave Gort: But most of us are Human Daves]
They all have their own hands
But they come from different moms

These are the Daves I know, I know
These are the Daves I know
These are the Daves I know, I know
These are the Daves I know

Dave Jadiski
Man, this cat can swing
He weighs almost 50 pounds
And he delivers my paper on time

These are the Daves I know, I know
These are the Daves I know
These are the Daves I know, I know
These are the Daves I know

Human Dave Capisano
I hardly know him

I told Justin if he didn't behave, he'd have to sleep in the garage again. He's only four, but he has to learn.

[-] Texas_Hangover@lemmy.radio 18 points 1 day ago

Billy took to pissing all over the walls, so we had to have him killed.

[-] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Be humane... say "euthanized"

Eh, better eu than I, Zed.

[-] iocase@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Every millenial ever: human names for pets, pet names for humans.

Dog:

Dave

Their literal son, fruit of their loins; their flesh and blood:

Rett

[-] UpperBroccoli@feddit.org 14 points 1 day ago

Reminds me of this Brooklyn Nine-Nine cold open about "Kelly".

How dare you ask that!

[-] Grimy@lemmy.world 39 points 1 day ago

I caught David humping his sister again.

[-] hansolo@lemmy.today 17 points 1 day ago
  1. When they get out of the house and you're screaming their name out on the street, a human name sounds like some terrible drama.

"Kelly! Kelly, come back! Come here, girl! Kelly, where are you? Kelly, I've got treats!"

I suggest: "my Boss"

My boss keeps shitting in my neighbor's garden.
My boss keeps scaring the neighbor's dog. Poor thing crosses the street when it sees him.
My boss ate my neighbor's canary. My boss got stuck up a tree and the fire department had to get him down.

[-] kamen@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Tomorrow I'm taking My boss to have him neutered.

[-] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago

On the other hand, Dick is a legit name.

"My little Dick keep puking on the floor."

[-] Eq0@literature.cafe 6 points 1 day ago

While I know it is, I am constantly surprised about it being a name

[-] Sabata11792@ani.social 7 points 1 day ago

Making up demon names is fun and whimsical. Neth'sin the Ethereal Tormentor likes chin scratches, will rip strangers to shreds, and sometimes defiles laundry.

[-] Varesti@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 day ago

Paul climbed on top of the refrigerator and he keeps hissing at me every time I open the freezer.

[-] hansolo@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago

Paul? What a ridiculous name for a cat.

[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago

That's a people name!

[-] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 4 points 1 day ago

I love this! Thanks for sharing

[-] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 day ago

Sorry, Tina is missing since this morning and i have to leave early to find her.

[-] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I had to pry [Jennifer] out from between the couch cushions where she wedged herself the other day

(True story about our ball python)

[-] python@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Haha, I specifically bought a couch with removable cushions because of this.

[-] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 day ago

Username checks out, I guess, though I'm not sure how you're typing this or how you paid for the couch.

[-] python@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I'm typing on my nice mechanical keyboard, as is standard for software developers.

Although getting new gigs has been hard recently. Potential employers always look so disappointed when I show up to job interviews.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 day ago

Danny's eating his shit again. I can't wait until he grows out of that.

[-] DBT@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

They’re supposed to grow out of that?

[-] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 4 points 1 day ago

I'm not a vet, but I've been told coprophagia can be caused by a series of reasons like nutrient deficit.

It is also why some birds may crack their eggs and eat the shells.

[-] superduperpirate@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Goddammit Peter! Quit sniffing her butt!

[-] Randelung@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Taylor sounds controlling

[-] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 11 points 1 day ago

It's trickier for me when my naming system is a bit different.

"Admiral Fluffybreeches refused to take his bath, the other night."

[-] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

So... your kid's name is Admiral Fluffybreches?

[-] schmorpel@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 day ago

Is this a distant relation of Lady Fuzzypants, who, after summer, often needs assistance with seeds and twigs caught in her hair?

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago

Ellie hates it when I express her anal glands, but I can't stand to be around her when she backed up.

"I wish I could lick my own balls like Bob can."

[-] SeeSmudges@quokk.au 5 points 1 day ago

Barold (Barry for short) spent the entire day trying to eat a mouse

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago
