Every once in a while I get a question from a reader about who is represented by the initials or code phrases I use on this blog. I just wrote a post that had THREE specialized terms, and realized you actually might be well served with a glossary. So here 't'is. I'm sure I've missed something and I'll update this list as I remember to do so.

The Zoo: Our children
VFDKitty: #1's cat
VFDDawg #1 & #2 a bitch and a dog, littermates, both pure chihuahuas
