That seems to be true in most vampire lore. This isn't the case with Danielle and other non-demonic vampires like her. After a shaky start, Danielle has gotten along with Talia's cat quite nicely.

It's "Doofkopp" - there's a tinge of regional slang in there, so I doubt it'll be in the dictionaries like that. Doofkopp had more than one name, though. Another one, for example, was "Dösbaddel", which is roughly the same word in Platt but can take on an additional meaning of "slowpoke". :) Dummhund (another name his owner gave him, meaning "stupid dog", but contracted - there is no such word, normally) was friendly to everyone, including trespassers and burglars. The one thing that kind of saved his reputation was that they didn't know that and just saw a large dog. Despite these many names, he responded to all of them; he was loved by his owner and his family and friends, and he lived to a ripe age of 16 years.

I'll have to look that up. What little German I still retain from high school is a bit rusty.

The birds would be safe. Their necks are too small to bite. : )

True, but is it her underlying personality or her vampiric nature? Maybe it's a little of both.

Believe it or not, Daisy is based on a real cow. I know the farmers and they do, indeed, call her Crazy Bitch. They lover her, but she can be very unpredictable, hence the nickname.
