I too have wanted a good group name for a long time. My friend has an Irish name (I can't remember what it is) that she uses to refer to her household. When I first moved into my house over 5 years ago she told me I needed a name for my household too, I've never thought of one though. To group them I usually just call them my kids, crew, gang, or babies. When I'm just talking about the dogs I call them my pups.
