A Frenchie by any other name would smell as sweet?

posted in Observations |

Does your Frenchie inspire you to use onomatopoeia? Alliteration? Break out in silly song or verse? Other rhetorical devices?

Do you sometimes feel you have turned into the Saturday Night Live character who mangled people’s names? (Snort Meister!)

Just how many nicknames do you have for your pooch? A couple, five, ten, twenty, lost count? (Sir Snorts-A-Lot) Isn’t it amazing how many nicknames your Frenchie inspires? (Lucy Lou Lou) You started off with a very dignified name, befitting his breed. A name such as Montaigne and it somehow morphs into baby talk. (Minty Monty Moo) Is this a Frenchie-exclusive affliction? Perhaps other breeds have their own trait-inspired nicknames? (Snort-a-lious, Smell-a-rama Mama)

The next time you find yourself coming up with yet another rhyming word for your Frenchie’s name, stop and think: perhaps the French Bulldog is just the muse you needed to put all those English and literature lessons into practice. That is, unless you speak French. And inquiring minds want to know: Does owning a Frenchie help with conjugating French verbs?

No wonder why Frenchies aren’t known for their obedience, what with all the silly names and nicknames. Could it be they are confused who’s being talked to? Of course, there IS that universal nickname they all love: Treat!
