Bizarre Hidden Gem April 24, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is a pet lover's delight, if you are not politically correct or easily offended. The slim volume contains cute and cuddly anecdotes about how pets got their names (a cat jumps on the TV set only when the 1990s show Blossom is on, hence it is cleverly called Blossom). And of course there are the titular creatures on the cover, named for their putative resemblance to larger than life radio personages.
What separates this from a traditional pet names book is that the author (with a silly name himself, Francis Pfaff) chimes in at the end of each personal story to insult the contributor! And he insults these "pet parents" with all the campy, sniping venom of a bitter old gay dude. No homophobe I, but it is pretty clear that the acerbic Mr. Pfaff is not fond of the ladies. In fairness, he doesn't seem fond of anyone.
Recommended for pet people with a perverse sense of the absurd.
