content: I've referred to my dogs as puppers, puppies, babies, and all other kinds of terms of endearment, for years.  i've had a dog and/or cat as a pet for as long as i can remember.  i haven't been to plebbit in over 2 years now, but my use of these terms definitely predates my visits to that cancer inducing site, and will probably continue until i'm dead. sorrynotsorry
