THE DOGTIONARY doggo /dg/ noun 1. A big pupper, usually older.

This label does not stop a doggo from behaving like a pupper. 2. A pupper that appears to have its life in order. Probably understands taxes and whatnot. Thats a really good doggo. pupper /'ppr/ noun 1. pupper /'ppr/ noun 1.

A small doggo, usually younger. Can be equally, if not more mature than some doggos. 2. A doggo that is inexperienced, unfamiliar, or in any way unprepared for the responsibilities associated with being a doggo. H*ck, thats one pettable pupper. How many puppers could I fit on my body at once, if I were lying down? puppo /'pp/ noun 1.

A transitional phase between pupper and doggo. Easily understood as the dog equivalent of a teenager. 2. A dog with a mixed bag of both pupper and doggo tendencies. My puppo is still learning what it takes to be a trustworthy doggo. blep /'blep/ verb 1. blep /'blep/ verb 1.

An extremely subtle act that occurs without the knowledge of the one who slips. The act includes ones tongue protruding ever so slightly from the mouth, usually just noticeable enough that it attracts the attention it deserves. Can last between three seconds and four days. My doggo did a h*ck of a blep the other day. Get a load of this blep I captured. mlem /m'lem/ verb 1.

An act of extending and retracting ones tongue in a casual manner, perhaps to acquire a substance around the mouth or even on the tongue itself. Not to be confused with a blep, a mlem is more dynamic and can occur multiple times over the standard duration of a blep. Mlem, mlem, mlem. To obtain the peanut butter on his snoot, my dog did several mlems in a row. boop /b oo p/ verb 1. 2. 2.

An act of intimacy that can be rejected or accepted by the individual being booped. Ive never seen a snoot I wouldnt boop. I wasnt interested in whether the owner liked me or not, but the dog accepted my boop, so all was well. snoot /sn oo t/ noun 1. The nose of a dog. Usually found in places the dog may not fit.

The location of the snoot may hint at where the dogs interest lies. That is a beautiful snoot. Ive been trying to boop my neighbors dogs snoot for six years. floof /fl oo f, fl oo f/ noun 1. Any dog really. However, this label is commonly given to dogs with seemingly excess fur.

Comical amounts of fur on a dog will certainly earn the dog this generic name. 2. Dog fur. The term holds true whether the fur is still on the dog, or if it has been shed off. Check out that majestic floof! The floof on my dog has gotten out of control but I dont see anybody complaining any time soon. h*ck /hek/ exclamation 1.

A non-aggressive placeholder for more vulgar exclamations. Used frequently because dogs evoke so much emotion from humans every time they do literally anything. I love dogs with every h*ckin fiber of my being. H*ck! bamboozle /bam'b oo zl/ verb 1. The act of confusing a dog, whether intentional or not. It does not take much, but can be done strategically.

Recovery time for the dog can vary, but youre usually looking at at least fifteen seconds of preoccupation. Things dogs are commonly bamboozled by include: glass, fake ball throwing, changes of surface, any noise ever, trigonometry, etc. My dog was thoroughly bamboozled when I switched his food and water bowls. Bamboozle your dog by getting a slightly smaller version of him and then giving the small one more attention. zoom /z oo m/ noun 1. A very speedy move done by a dog.

Incredibly hard to document, but universally recognized as a thing that happens. Appears to break laws of physics, but only because when your dog does something average, you think it is the greatest thing ever. That was a h*ck of a zoom! My dog does a zoom whenever the doorbell rings. Say hello to Jack. Hes quite the sleepy pupper. Thinks hes an airplane.

Please make sure your seat backs and tray tables are in their full pupright positions. 12/10 would snug for eternity Amy Cooper / @alcoopa Say hello to Lucy.
