Tuesdays with Tigris - What's In A Name?

Reader,

I am not sure why they Lady gives us names, because she so rarely uses them. 

Take me for example. When I arrived one year ago I was Lilo and Lady and Man changed it to Tigris. Currently, I am most often called Gris or Grissie, which makes sense as nicknames, but it doesn't stop there. I am also Grismas, BG (big girl), GrisGris, and Miss Gris. When Lady is being formal I am Tigris Blue Buttar. Blue, for my grey colour that looks blue and Buttar after a Canadian Bull Rider and because I am round.

Styx, who was Stitch, is Styx, Styxy, and Styximus Maximus (which Lady makes Max). He has the least names.

The cat whom I don't like is Jack-O-Lanie, Lanie, Little One, Lambie, or Scoot-scoot. When Lady is being really silly she called her Little Lanie Lambie Leme (Leme is also a bull rider, Lady has a theme). 

Lanie

It has only been a year, I am sure she will come up with new names (which may be better than the little songs she makes up about us and sings).

  3. You all sure have lots of nicknames. My parents are guilty of giving all their pets nicknames and rarely have we ever been called by our given names. At least they call us for dinner!
