A big thank-you goes out to voters and Folded Word’s California-based Managing Editor, J.S. Graustein.
Some puzzling labels for humans are as follows:
Some men are teddy bears, some women are cougars, some people are pigs (regardless of sex), while others are simply called animals. In Animal Planet—a postcard story—Rose Hunter provides more examples.
Nonhuman animals themselves are the recipients of perplexing naming practices.
I explore this phenomenon in a Twitter-length fiction—140 characters or less. It appears in PicFic—the Twitter fiction wing of Folded Word Press.

What have you named your companion animal(s)?
