We call Sarge: Puppy, Sargie (yuck, I know. LOL), Peanut head (I call a lot of people and animals Peanut Head..... don't know why?), Dork, or Tater.
That's funny... we use Peanut head and Tater too!! Poor Stormie, I have gone through nickname "phases" with her.
I think the first one was "Pumpkin" (and all the variations of it...punkin, punkin head, punkin ball, punk punk, punky poo, punkin pie, etc..)
Then it was "Tater" and all the variations...tater tot, tater head, tater toes, tater mater, tatey nuns, etc...
Now we are on the "Peanut" kick...peanut head, peanut butter, pea pod, pea, sweet pea, peanut butter cup, peanut pie, peanut cake, pea pie, pea pot, etc..
I don't even know where some of these names come from, but as someone else posted, with the right tone of voice she just comes wigglin' along...
