*Note: Big things are happening on the Campaign to End BSL! I will give a full update tomorrow, but in the meantime, please continue to create and send in those postcards! We have a long way to go, but I’m entirely confident we’ll get there. Check out some of the ones already submitted on the Facebook page. And don’t forget the official hashtag is #endBSL.

This has been a busy, wonderful week, both with the End BSL Campaign and with work. I’m very lucky that I get to work from home. But throughout this crazy week, I realized I spend a lot of my day having conversations with my boys. (“What do you guys think? Time to take a lunch break?” or “Let me finish this article then we’ll go for a walk!” or “What do you guys think of this sentence…”)

And yesterday it hit me: Unless we’re actually training, I almost never call them Emmett and Lucas. I have a whole bunch of nicknames for the both of them.

Emmett: E-man, Em, Piggy-Doggy

Lucas: Lukey, Lukey-bear, Smoochy, Smoocherelli

Combined: boyos, men, faces (As in, “Hi, faces!” No idea how that evolved.)

Is that weird? Do you have nicknames for your dogs? I’d love to hear them!
