   And here I was going to give you more credit for using the term   
   "housepet" deliberately, since, in HP, men are in charge and they have   
   house-elves, but now the tables have turned (although in that case   
   house-man might be a better term).  But it turns out to have merely been   
   a typo in your brain....
