DENNIS BUBBA HYPHEN POTTER (shameless plug, CatoftheDay 7/30/00) was known as "Dennis the Menace" because he was/is so mischievious. But shortly after we moved to North Carolina this terminally beautiful and delightful Himalayan BEGIN TO MEOW WITH A TWANG! I was in broadcasting, had TV/Radio talk shows and my show was called, The Joyce Rue Hyphen Potter Show...the hyphen included in my name was accented because people would hear "Rue Potter" (my maiden and married names) and wonder what kind of name Ruepotter was. So we just played with the hyphen thing until it just caught on...thus Dennis Bubba Hyphen Potter. Also, Dennis Bubba's companion cat was named "Ditto Dudda Hyphen Potter", as everything Dennis did, Ditto did...thus the Ditto.
So...that's the name story. Yaw'l have a Skippity do dah delicious day from me and DB.
Blessings,
Joyce
