Not all Americans have bought into the concept of monosyllabic human names for their pets.
For some, the pet name trend is toward the unusual -- or just plain bizarre.
... "The dog park would definitely be a more interesting place if you heard people saying, 'Fetch, Rafikikadiki,' or, 'Come here, Meatwad,'" said Curtis Steinhoff, senior director of VPI Corporate communications. "I might be a little hesitant to introduce people to Miss Fuzzbutt or Sir Lix-a-lot, but I can't think of many better conversation starters."

About the Bloggers
Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
