Doodle vs Dood

[Tante & Jordan & now Annie!]

I call my girls and all other Doodles.....Doodles

I have heard Doods use more often lately, I personally dislike the name "doods". Where did it start? We have been around for 7 years and the year before on MySpace always Doodles.....oh yes, I brought out MySpace :)

I don't know why "doods" makes my skin crawl, but it does. I find myself correcting people when they say it. As in "my Dood is laying at my feet right now" I will say " Oh, I love DOODLE snuggles" and will say Doodle till they stop saying Doods....I know it sounds crazy, but I really can not stand it!


My post is what you use when referencing your dogs DOODLE or DOODS?

Anyone else hate DOODS as much as me?

I often refer to my two as "doods" as In "Let's get the doods together" mostly when texting or emailing, kind of a short version of doodles. But I don't call them "doods" although I don't mind it. As I get older, less and less of this kind of stuff bothers me, although it does make me pause when someone calls a girl/woman "Man" Like "Hey man, or "Ya know Man" or "I hear ya Man"

I use doodle more - now that we have a child, I use the term "doodle sister Peri" and "chihuahua brother Taquito" when I am referring to them.  Or I just say "doggy" like Adina :)

I used it for my 2 guys but I use it because it is like "Dudes" and my 2 doods are pretty crazy dudes sometimes.  :)  I don't normally use it in conversation, just more with typing

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

hmmm...some days my guy is a"doodle" and some days he's more of a "dood" so I guess the term's never really bothered me.  I wouldn't call a girl a "dood" though. And I wouldn't normally call Finn a doggie. I have some standards LOL.

:D

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

I use the term fairly frequently when playfully referring to male doodles on DK-Gavin, Darwin, Murphy and others just seem like fun loving "doods" to me. Now, Tara on the other hand I refer to as a Doodess. This is the canine equivalent of Princess or Countess and is the proper term to be used for a female doodle. :)

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

"Doodess"....I love that and it's perfect for Tara.

[Amy, Cubbie & Ollie]

I Doodess reserved for only females?  I frequently refer to Cubbie as a Diva because he is picky about his food, his toys, his grooming, his spot on the couch, the list goes on and on really.

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

Amy, it sounds like Cubbie has earned the title! LOL

[Amy, Cubbie & Ollie]

I found a tshirt on clearance at Petsmart that was pink and said "princess" on the back.  I was going to buy it for Cubbie as a joke but DH wasn't having it.

I think you dislike it because it sounds like what some young men use, "Dudes".  "Hey Dude" is a greeting, but not used for doodles.  Dude or dood?  I don't use them although I have male doodles, but I also don't like the expression "Doods".  Just my opinion.  I think some people refer to their male doodle as a "Dude" or :Dood".

Could be, but it really makes me cringe
Doodle is sweet, cute, which is what DOODLES are.... Doods are....... Well, I guess I can except males being called Doods but I will never say it! :D lol
