Pronunciation: pet-(h)air

Sentence: Fluffy, Uncle Bob's petheir apparent, shed on everyone and everything. Lying in his coffin, Uncle Bob even had the silky white strands statically clinging onto his trousers. Dear Uncle Bob got to take some of his beloved Fluffy with him and, according to his will, the rest was left to us to clean after the little furball as long as he lived. After the reading of the will, Fluffy decided to spend the remainder of his life in Uncle Bob's mansion in Hawaii so we had to move there. After all, it was what Uncle Bob wanted.

Etymology: wordplay on pet hair: lovely decorative bits of fur that cling to pants, skirts, walls, pots, pans, food, etc....pet: animal kept for amusement or companionship + heir: one who inherits an estate through a will
