How do I say this nickname?

My dog's nickname is Puppy Butt. How would I say that in a cute way? I think culo is probably too harsh...maybe trasero?

Sorry, this is such a weird question! Thanks!

Hi! I am from Argentina, let me try helping you! Don´t take the nickname so literal, that way it would sound really awkward. I would tell him ¨Colitas¨, its like ¨nalgas¨ but in a softer way. For example, when we talk about babies asses we don't say ¨culos de bebes¨, because it sounds horrible and maybe offensive, we say ¨cola de bebe¨. Also, it would be great to call your dog Colitas, its also the latin name for the Sonic the Hedgehound friend, Tales, if you remember her. I hope its been usefull! Bye!

Welcome ! I am also learning like rac1 (though shes more advanced than I).I'm not good with cutesy names ,but (no pun intended) if I were to name a dog something like that I would just call him "Nalgas". It means buttocks. Come here Nalgas,Sit Nalgas.
