all the shades of

Because it would be too easy to expect her to respond to only her given name:
  • Magpie
  • Crab Cakes
  • Crazy Monkey Child
  • Monkey Shine [presumably "shine" is a degenerated "child" ... presumably]
  • Bayyyyyy-bee [okay, so that's what she calls herself]
  • Penguin [since we're a rhymey kind of bunch]
  • Fiend [since we figure therapy can never begin too young]
Not to be outdone, the dog is also known as:
  • Ba
  • Beo [have I mentioned the rhyming thing...?]
  • Butthead [but only in the kindest possible sense. oddly enough, this is also one of Mr.Q's nicknames...]
  • Hey, Dog
  • Puppy [he's almost 12]
  • Bubba
But it's okay for the dog: he's pretty much deaf and works only by hand signals under the delusion theoretical possibility of bribery positive reinforcement.
