Don’t dogs identify individuals mostly based on smell? Would you have a smell-name?

Is that true? Explains why my dog behaves differently after my quarterly shower. Poor dude doesn't recognise me.

They do.

My smell-name would probably be something like sweaty ass with a hint of Nivea.

This led me down a weird chain of thought where I ended up at an internet for dogs, where they complain about smell profiles, and smellprint resisting browsers.

POV, you're a hard working mechanic and you're dog calls you "Crotch Funk McGreasyclothes." But you don't speak dog, so all you know is that they love to stick their snoot in your crotch the second you sit down after getting home from work.

I have two dogs and they bark at me in an unique way when requesting my attention or when I'm arriving home, so I expect that to be my "name" to them.

That's the best part. It's actually the same name either way. They just pronounce "dipshit" different than we do is all.

You know what? I want a divorce.

Mine is just about as boring as possible: "Grey Wolf" 🤦

If we go with my Lemmy name, though, i'd say that Graceful Red is a pretty good nickname for a 1950s lounge singer 😄

Lol gdi I showed my friend this over a decade ago and she would call me Beautiful Vixen for years just to annoy me. ... I should send it to her again.

I read a series of HFY stories that showed the human and a some dogs (all abductees) getting telecommunication brain chips, and they absolutely did. They called humans "name-givers" and took pride in their many names and nicknames as bestowed by their particular name-give friends and family.

Name your devices after humans.

Tommy needs larger memory.

Fuck Dave. Dave is a piece of shit. Put him in the drive shredder, melt him down, and launch his pathetic ass into orbit.

Yes, I have an issue with a Dave in my life.
