Duggie has had a name change!

[Helen]

The new (and in no way improved) Dougie is still a holy terror ankle gnasher extrordinaire!

I always thought he was called Dougie (short for Douglas, pronounced as Dug-ee) but spelt differently.

Me too 

You're confusing me! He was called Duggie, pronounced Dug-ee, but is now Dougie, pronounced Doog-ee. Up here the name short for Douglas is the latter, but I believe that in England, it is spelled Dougie, and pronounced Dug-ee, am I right?

Or am I confusing you?!

Ok I was confused but think I got it now  I thought you were saying you have been calling him Doggy, but I thought he was Dougie which is what you were calling him, but now your calling him Doogie but spelt Dougie. I think its the difference in the spelling as you say, and I thought people found my names confusing 

Thank you Vikki for translating that from the Scots version (wot was basically double dutch  ) 

Can I just call him "handsome boy" Fiona - much simpler 

[JenSam]

Dougie as in Doogie Howser then?

Liking the new name

That's fine, although some days you may want to call him variations on that - "stinking boy" is a good one!

[JaspersMum]

Well I wasn't too confused until you tried to explain the difference 

I've changed Charlie and Heidi BTW, as of Friday I've decided when they have their batty heads on, they are now Fred and Hilda    So apologies as I don't appear to ever exercise Charlie and Heidi, but their alias's do get out and about daily 

[Rats and Dogs]

I believe Fred and Doooogie are very best friends!

Welcome Dougie - hope you enjoy your stay

Fiona - I just don't know why you didn't call hin STAN in the first place  *runs and hides*

Doogie welcome hun - bet you are real grown up since the last time I saw you 

[Hurtwood Dogs]

Well I'm genuinely surprised that someone calls their dog by it's actual name Why don't you just do what all us 'normal' people do and shout 'Smeg', 'Stink' or 'Oi!' when you're trying to get him back?? or just use a whistle

No need to run away - I wanted to call him Stan remember! OH wouldn't let me, cos, of course, he works with a Stan.

He is very grown up now, but still mad. Rhum must be a big boy now too.

He answers to 'Mankypants', 'Minger' and most of all - 'Gnasher'!

Toqey is actually called Torquemada. He gets called Toq, Toqey, Toqeywoof, Wooflet, Spanieltastic, Toca, Dogger, Woofulous, Toqulous, Puppa, and Toqwoof.

He responds to Toqey, Toca, Hey and Come.
