Discussion while eating

Sparrow B (the middle one): I've got a problem.
Sparrow M (rightmost): What kind of problem?
SB: I don't know Mr. Might-be Vampire's dog's name and I'm going to meet the dog this weekend. All along, my gardener friend and I have been calling his dog as "his dog", "Mr. Might-be Vampire's dog". That doesn't sound right isn't? That dog has a name. If one day he overheard our conversation and found that his name wasn't mentioned, and he was being referred to "his dog", "that dog" - I think he will feel sad.
Sparrow N (second rightmost): Point agreed. I like sparrows address me as Sparrow N! Not that sparrow, or this sparrow.
SB: Exactly. But I don't know his name. Does anyone of you have any clue?
Sparrow X (leftmost): Since his owner is nicknamed "Mr. Might-be Vampire", he might be named by his owner as "Mr. Might-be Dog"?
SB: That's silly. A dog is A DOG. There won't be "Might-be".
Sparrow T (second from the left): Maybe his name is Birdseed?
SB: Hahaha. That's my kind of name. Oh I love birdseed, as much as I love sweetcorn. But I'm not sure if he is given that name by Mr. Might-be Vampire.
N: Hmm. What name would Mr. Might-be Vampire give to his dog? Heartbeat? Dagger? Tomato Juice? Dracula! Batman? Spiderman? Superman? Lovesick? Hyper!
M: Or humanized names? Like? Tom? Jerry? Tim? Romeo?
X: Or maybe vegetable names? Like Rhubarb? Sweetcorn? Spinach? BakChoy? Carrot? Daikon? Turnip? Broccoli!
SB: T, do you have any idea?
T: I still stick to Birdseed.
SB: OK... maybe I'll give these names a try and see if Mr. Might-be Vampire's dog will response to my calling. Oops. Near my bedtime. So that's about the end of discussion. Thanks everybody!
(Everyone else: You're welcome Sparrow B)
SB: Good night Mr. Blackbird. Good night Mr. Might-be Vampire (from my gardener's friend too). And good night Mr. Birdseed (that's the temporary name till I find out the name).
