Scalawagger
Created by: rombus
Pronunciation: Skal - ah - wag - gur
Sentence: Ol Buffy was a scalawagger... His tail was fast, he was no lagger. Up and down the street he ran after cars and after vans. He took the food right off one's plate and with every female dog did mate. But now he is all dead and gone so this is the end of my doggie song.

Pedigreeleased
Created by: silveryaspen
Pronunciation: ped ig ree least
Sentence: Leash laws are all too often ignored. Pit bulls knock over trash cans, rip off the lids, and strew their litters everywhere, including their poochiepoops. The cargis chase cars, barking crazily, sending drivers veering badly and braking madly. Pursued by mongrowls, the pedestriafleeings are stopped in their tracks by the snarling bull terrors. Dobermans use their teeth as pinschers, causing people to flea to the hospitals for tetanus shots. There are so many lightning fast strayhounds, untiedy dogs, those pedigreeleased, that even the dog catchers, despite their great currage, and bow-rows, are losing their dog gone battles!
Etymology: PEDIGREES - dogs with papers on their lineage. RELEASED - unleashed, free to roam.
