I just have one ox, Ford.
But he’s a real smart ox.
OK, this is the sort of thing I was hoping for.
Only…
I don’t get it. Sorry. You’ll have to explain.
Um, me either.
Let me ask my cheetah, Snevah Wynn.
Man, all you guys have such great pets.
All I have is a doe, Echeetm N Howe.
Of course, my best friend is a Mayan, Usis Bleadng.
I think this is a good time to mention my Kiwi, Chur Wye Ning.
I’m not sure I want to.
I was trying to make a pun on a “pair of dactyls”. (dict.com: A metrical foot consisting of one accented syllable followed by two unaccented or of one long syllable followed by two short, as in flattery.)
At least to my ear, Jennifer and Stephanie are both dactyls. It was problematic for the joke that the names didn’t follow the species, but it was still a pun.
You had to mis-pronounce “pterodactyl” though, and break out of the established thread style.
I’ll make it up with this yuletide sentiment from an old coffee mug.

Just ask my Echidna, Hugh Knott

I also have an ox, “Tugor”.
I have several with the same name:
My pheasants, Tand (I counted four).
Is that related to the Ox, Tugrind?
Can everybody hear me all right?
I have a frog, Emmy Trote.
I also have a puppy, Naweigh.
And a sheep, Ishgrin.
And I’ve borrowed a parrot – he’s actually Ray’s.
