Why do people call dogs "doggos" and why does it annoy me? Apologies to those who say "doggo" I realize it's my quirk.

Because they’re cute little doggos!

Or nice wee puppers. I get that it annoys you, don't worry about it. That sort of thing used to really annoy me, then I just gave up on people using proper language. Partially, because there isn't really "proper language."

It might be a regional thing. I've never heard anyone use it.

mimi : I think it's generational - 15 to 35 year olds.

Ah, those young hippies!

Some call doggos “woofenbarkers barkinwoofers”

doggos
pupper dogs

Those are some I use

I dunno about generational. I’m 58. Language is a living thing and constantly changing.

I am so boring - I call them dogs.

Don’t think it is generational, i know folks of all ages who say doggo.

I've only seen it in the last few and only on the internet.

lovesfinefabric : me too!

That annoys me too. Also kiddos.

Because they're serial killers.

Art Savings : oh, that explains it then.
