My parents had five kids - they never forget the names, but did occasionally forget which name belonged to which kid. ;-)

I'm stealing that line for the next time it happens!

Fortunately, I never called them by the dog's name.

My Dad DID call me by the dog’s name once. I don’t look like a “Patches”!!

Whenever I call my dog by our previous dog's name, he pees on my leg. Then I kick him and we're buddies again.

My kids don't do that.

Fortunately, I never called them by the dog's name.

Oh, I've done that!

I have 3 boys and 3 girls and one dog. I often throw in the dogs name when mixing up the boys names and I often shuffle the girls names around too.
