Audiophile pets and their names...

Hi I was just wondering if there are pets in audiophile homes. All of sold product advertised as "Smoke Free, Children Free and Pet Free".
Are there dogs named Woofer, PRAT, NordOst etc?
Or birds named Tweeter, Decibel, Phono, Stereo or Mono?
Or cats named Tweaky, Fuse, Preamp...?
What are the typical audiophile pet names?
My bird's name is Kiwi(very typical name for green parrots), but by his nature he likes to work-out when I do(especially vocalizing heavy breathing:)) so I'd given him second name of Dojo

Just a month ago, we got a kitten.  My wife chose the name Taylor, after one of my guitars.

My boxer Nemo steals the sweet spot when I spin bluegrass. Somethin' about bluegrass that gets his tail a waggin'.

My jack Russell Terrier loves to sit and listen with me. Even loud! Animal sound effects are his favorites and get him riled followed by the baroque masters which have a calming effect. No easy trick as any JRT owner will tell you.

I also have various Nipper artifacts scattered about for decoration. Nipper is synonymous with hifi and music to me. My Jack is not too far off from a real life nipper. Doing a HMV type photo with him is on my bucket list. I will get him to sit and look mystified at my OHMs in lieu of a Victrola.

czarivey, yes, thanks. They certainly did live a good long life. Wow, that it quite a story to tell about your little buddy. Thank goodness he made it though to live a happy life! 

Yogiboy, when a good bluegrass tune is on, Nemo is not the only one with a tail a waggin'. Was just listening to 'Ol Doc Watson play "windy and warm" and if I had a tail it would be doing the same brah!
