I realize that is supposed to be funny, but how sad for the dog.

@GingerPeach Why is that sad? Dogs don't care what you call them as long as you call....and love them.

@Kachina624

It's sad because it shows the dog isn't getting any training or guidance.

If someone says words like that all the time, it's a problem.

If it's just occasionally, then probably not.

I know dogs don't care what they're called, but using words signifies something to the humans involved.
I used to believe it was OK, but I'm realizing it affects how I feel also.

@GingerPeach My sister and I both have "J" names. Mother frequently called me by her name and her by mine. It just meant that mother was absent-minded and perhaps distracted. We were getting more than enough training and guidance.

@Kachina624

I grew up with 5 brothers and sisters.

Mom would name each of us in turn, by age, until she reached the name of the one she needed to chew out for whatever reason.

I have heard this is not unusual!
