Battle of the Sexes: Animals

A few suggestions for when naming your pet.

Good =
Sparta, just so you can yell "THIS IS SPARTA !!!" when you go to introduce the new pet to visitors

Bad =
Waldo. The unwritten laws clearly state that you shall never find Waldo.

So now that you know the topic, let's start, shall we?

Men:

I have never met a woman who's personally trained their rottweiler to eat anyone and cheer upon seeing this happen. Therefore, this is a problem in men. All too often, I've heard of dogs killing other animals, such as cats and other dogs, and sometimes humans. This is a huge problem, so I simply stare at you when you call your pet "Killer" or "Slayer".

However, it's usually men with a sense of humour when naming their animals. For example, Sparta, Snicklefritz, and I've even heard of Ukrainians naming their cats BsecBity, meaning the Center of the Universe.

Women:

Why do we always have to do the uber high-pitch voice when talking to animals?! It's annoying, and makes us look stupid (Oh, yeah. Thanks for the bad reputation, Blondes!) And why do we always have to give our animals sissy names, like Cutie Pie, Sweetie, and Dot?! Sheesh! And you always spoil them with treats, toys, clothing, and fancy beds! I've heard of so many men complaining of having to sit on the floor because the dog "can't see the Tv" or "would have to move". Also, don't kick your man out of bed because the dog is comfy right where it is! They leave hair on your covers, which you then complain to the man and how it's his fault! IT'S YOURS!

On the light side, we tend to give the animal way more attention than the men, and this can be a good thing. For example, if you're the one bringing the dog on all of his walks, then you're probably the one that's more fit than the other. If you're the one doing most of the training, then the animal will most likely listen to you, rather than your man. If you give the dog more attention, then they can become possessive of you when the man starts yelling at you and try to "protect you". This could come in handy someday. And on the rare occasion that we put some thought into their name, you wouldn't believe the stuff we can come up with. If you say "Come here, Loverboy!" in a sexy voice, your man may show sudden interest in being around you more often.

On a final note, I think that there is no "perfect pet". People just need to work on finding just the right balance between letting their pet spend time with the guys and the gals.
