#7 Hi, I'm Fido (pg 298)

"Our pets have claimed permanent residence on our love chart. Many people give their pets child-like attention, going so far as to dress them up in kids' clothes and pampering them with gifts. Likewise, naming our pets has become just as nerve-racking as naming our children. It has to be the perfect name, one that describes that pet perfectly, whether it be by color, size, disposition or attitude. We name our pets with care. But what if our pets were given the task of naming us? What would our pet names be? That's your task.

Write down ten names that your pet would give to you.

If you have a willing friend to work with, write down their ten pet names as they write down your ten pet names. Then compare!"


STEVE
1 - big guy (darwin is my little guy)
2 - daddy (they are my kids. fuzzy but cute, plus i can leave them home unsupervised. try that with a child!)
3 - treaty (who gives them treats? moi.)
4 - mr. scratchies (darwin loves his throat scratched; moki his back and butt.)
5 - ball guy (moki's obsession: catching and fetching the ball.)
6 - meanie (when punished or misbehaving.)
7 - protectie (i'm the protector against bigger creatures or annoying people.)
8 - emotional one (my nickname for darwin which in turn i know he would call me the same.)
9 - tour guide (they love to travel and experience new locations and environments.)
10 - steve (what they would call me when they're in a snarky mood.)
