Josephine: Jo Jo, Scooter, Queen Josephine, Baby, Joza. She seems to be entirely responsive to any and all the namse as long as someyone is petting and stroking and giving her lots of love and attention. If she's focused on another dog or playing with something or a million other distractions, not so much!
Tsuki: Tsuki-Su, Sushi, Shloosh, Little Miss Sunshine Shiba
Kitsune: Kitsu, Mr. Man, Trotter (which was his name when we adopted him, we try not to say it, but he literally 'trots' when he walks, aka 'Fox Trot', so we try not to use it
Collectively: The shibas, such as "John, harness up the shibas"
My dog's name is Miky so I often call him Mee-mee. But also bear, mr. bear, mr. stinky, baboo, noo-noo, little ass, fatty boy, stinky dragon, monkey face, foxy boy...and so on. I alway give tons of nicknames to the one I love.
Jake just acquired a new nickname this AM -- ASSHOLE! I could not get him to come inside this morning, chased him around the yard for 30 minutes, both our tongues sticking out -- late for work! Had to leave him outside, hoping he doesn't dig his way out under the fence. He left me no choice. He is lucky I left water outside for him. I think he realized if I had caught him, I might have killed him. O.K., I'll let you guys know if I have a Shiba in the backyard when I get home ARGH ARGH ARGH
I have different nicknames for our kids: Nyx: Nyxie Poo, Lady, Princess, Sweetness or B%&@(when she hurts me) Kuma: Presunto (which is a type of ham in Portuguese)/Perzutu (which is the equivalent in Maltese), Teddy Boy became Teddy Butch as he grew bigger and Lazyass when I have to drag him around on our walks. I use Lindo (pretty, cute in Portuguese) but mainly to praise him for good behaviour.

Whatever Dave, like you never called Lucy an asshole when she wouldn't let you get the leash on. Oh and if you thought it you said it!
