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

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!

I had a Chihuahua named Zoey that always came down to listen with me, she has gone on to listen in another dimension.

. I now have a second Chihuahua named Mia, she could not possibly care any less. She hates coming down stairs with me. Oh well she's adorable.

Pet party at my place this weekend. Everyone invited. Just no pet bats please.
Really bad experience last summer when one flew into our house.
My daughter is bringing over her Bengal kitty - Sofia, and her BF’s dog, a Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix - Lucky (he was saved from a shelter),
to play with our 80 lb black lab Koaltar. My wife and I will be pet babysitting for a week! while they go enjoy the warm sun.
Its fun watching Lucky with all his energy, try to take down Koaltar, who lets both of them climb all over him.
Only the Bengal kitty is allowed downstairs with the systems.
When she was about 10 weeks old it was fun watching her use the rows of vinyl against the wall as a highway.
But now she is fast, so not sure anymore about this anymore. Too many ways to get into trouble.
Pics of them on my system link.
Cheers
