Pronunciation: pree-fuhrrd

Sentence: "Who is my Little Man?" the master always asked and then answered, "I am...I'm your Little Man." The L.M. knew it wasn't the dog who had to live outside. He, the Little Man, knew he was prefurred. Who else had people talking for him? Who else got to sleep on every couch and bed in a stream of sunshine throughout every day? Who else got to lick clean every bowl of yoghurt or ice cream? Who else got his ears and neck rubbed until his eyes rolled back in his head? Who else got to manipulate (manipawlate?) to shreds with impunity (impawnity?) every soft coverlet and carpet in the house? No one else--no one, but The Little Man...that's who!

Etymology: Using PREFERRED, meaning to be favored + FUR, meaning an animal skin, hair

Pronunciation: pol lee kod del

Sentence: When Old Lady Harris finally passed on from Shaker's Acres to the Great Beyond, the only thing she left her niece, Bethany, was her beloved, Hyacinth Macaw parrot, Polly. Polly could talk, incessantly, as it turns out and demanded all Bethany's attention. It turns out,too, her aunt had treated Polly like a baby and as a result she had been able to pollycoddle the raucous bird and spoil her rotten. When Polly did not get her way she screached and swore loudly. "Oh well," thought Bethany, "at least she also left me a few bucks to buy food and supplies for the bird". It was with horror then that Bethany read that parrots like Polly lived to the age of one hundred!

Etymology: Polly (popular name for a pet parrot) & Mollycoddle (a pampered darling;treat with excessive indulgence)

Pronunciation: pet ed PLANT

Sentence: Her dog Mimado usually lay around the house like a pettedplant, and today was no exception. "Oh, smoochiepoochie!" she exclaimed fondly as her dog pet-ter-pattered over and settled down in her lap for one of his 3-hour naps. The fact that Mimado was now almost 90 pounds was beginning to weigh on her, both literally and figuratively. But she had created this monster, and now she was being hoisted by her own pet-ard.

Etymology: potted plant + pet
