Procyon is a close binary system with large, bloated primary and a small, redder secondary (called the Puppy). In relation to the secondary, Procyon itself (never called Procyon A) is infrequently called the Mother. The irreverant call it the Bitch. The pair has two planets orbiting on circumbinary trajectories. There is very little debris (asteroids, comets, etc) in this system.
