Yep, our Buddy does that too ... the lying down in YOUR spot-thing. I'll get up to go to the bathroom and find a pile of black fur on my pillow (he sheds enough for 6 dogs!) when I crawl back under the covers ... he's smart enough to know to get back down when he hears the toilet flush!! :)
That's very sweet! He's just showin' how much he loves his momma! :)
Just thinking again about pets' names - are they actually called by the names we give them?
Hodge commonly called Hodgkins, or even Splodge Mia commonly called Meesie or Meesiepops Kiwi commonly called Kikiboo or just Boo
No, I hardly ever use their 'real' names! Mine all have their silly pet names-
Missy is Mini-boo or Boo-Boo
Simon is Sami-Sami or Salmon (He is a Golden Retriever/Chow cross and is orange with a black tongue and he has a pointed head- like a Conehead! Susan and I decided his breed is a Golden Chinese Fishhead. People react strangely when we tell them what breed he is??? And they usually say, in all seriousness, 'I've never heard of that breed before- he's very handsome'. LOL)
Daisy is Didgy-Doo or Dizzy Doo
Hoover is Hoovie or Uber Hoober Doober and Susan calls him a goober, so I added to it.... Uber Hoober Doober the Goober
Buttercup the kitty is usually called Cuppie for short
And, yes, they each respond to their many different names!

Like Leslie, we have several names for Buddy ... I usually call him "Furface," and sometimes, when he's not listening, I call him "Cloth-Ears." He's also got "Bud-Ro" and "Baby."
Hubby calls him "Monster" and "Fur Butt." If you saw how big he is, you'd understand both of those names! At 70+ he's overweight, but I think he carries it well. :)
But most of all, he knows to come when I say "Come see Mommy!" He's little more than a furry baby! :)
OMG!! Too funny. My first MIL had a seal point Siamese, who's name was "Dammit". From, of course, saying "Dammit, get down from there", etc. Poor cat never got a real name. LOL
ShadowWalker = Shadow, Shad, Shadrach, shadowbadow Nugget = nug, nugabug, butthead Deanna = deannaBana, dee, old fart
Doesn't matter what we call them. All cats know that their real name is either God/dess of the household emperor of all bow to me oh worthless slaves and bring me butter, or Booboobabiedearestkittydarlingmommylovesyouverymuchyesshedoes.

I like it - how would it look on the vet's record card!
As long as the silly names are said with love, that's all the dog recognizes... and all that's necessary! VBG

I have a cat now called Flop- Short for Kitty-Go-Flop because she does. The vet told us she was neurologically impaired from an infection the mother cat must have had during the pregnancy. We never met the mother cat, just found Flop in the garage as a kitten. Flop used to run into things and just flop over onto her side, now she is better about that but sometimes just tips over when trying to wash. She is about 13 years old now and doesn't know she has a problem.
