Please don’t play if you’re only trying to be last. It’s not fair to the serious players.

_ **Read all the Rules!** _

_ **DO NOT READ THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU POST YOUR ANSWERS** _

Try to think of the most popular answer, to get the most people matching you. Scoring - Any answer duplicated by anyone else is worth 100 points divided by the number of entrants. For example: 50 entrant game = 2 pts per answer. If 4 people match that means they each get 8 pts for that answer. No matches = 0 points.

_ **READ THIS!!!** _

**Write your answers like this** ; Do not repeat the questions, no periods at the end of answers, no spaces between lines, no comments, no fancy list coding. If you need to comment or clarify your answers, do it AFTER the list of answers. Thanks.  
JUST LIKE THIS:

**1. answer  
2. response  
3. rejoinder**

If this format is ignored, our resident bouncer **Brujaja** will come in and kick your ass!

The game will end either when we have 50 entrants, or at 4:30 PM Central on Thursday, 7/17/08 whichever comes first. Good luck!

1. Name a popular name for a dog.
2. Name a popular name for a cat.
3. Name a show on Animal Planet.
4. Name a type of “exotic” pet.
5. Name a breed of terrier.
6. Name a flavor of cat food.
7. Other than a dog, name a type of animal that assists disabled people.

9. Other than “Sit,” name a command for a dog.
10. Other than “parrot,” name a type of pet bird.

Dolores, would you really trust a monkey to look after your dear old disabled Mum? I’m astounded!

Yikes! I’d better shut up; there seems to be a few monkey fans. Have I missed some recent development in animal training? 🙂

Dammit! It was between Fido and Rover for me and… I chose poorly.

I’m vaguely remembering a TV spot that showed them fetching things for multiplegics. Stuff like bringing a cup with a straw and holding it while the owner drank. Obviously, there was a person around to fill the cup and perform other tasks.
