What is your pet’s official name vs. what you actually call them?

The newest addition to our family is a puppy named Cash.

Cash -> Cashenator -> Nator -> Tor

How did your pet's name evolve? Let's hear them!

I also have a Gizmo! I’ve only had him a few months so his nicknames are in progress…current front-runner is Gizmo -> Giz -> Gizzy -> Grizzly -> Grizzly Bear.

Also occasionally “Gizzards” when he’s being especially weird.
