Dogtied<\/strong>: \/d\u00c3\u00b4gt\u00c4\u00abd<\/em>\/ It seemed like a good idea at the time. One dog would be lonely if left home alone while he worked so Alan got a second dog. Little did he expect to be dogtied every time he tried to walk them. They would run ahead, then behind, never in the same direction, never at the same time. Like some canine square dance he didn’t know the steps to, Sadie and Rufus do-si-do and Allemande left until Alan was completely hound-bound. Etymology:<\/em> dog (canine pet) + tied (attach or fasten (someone or something) with string or similar cord) derivative of hog-tied [secure by fastening together the hands and feet (of a person) or all four feet (of an animal)] Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n

I watch the Dog Whisper but my dogs do too and they whisper back.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Petangled<\/strong>: \/pet -angled<\/em>\/ Laura’s German short-hair pointer is nearly as large as she is and she easily and often gets completely petangled while out for walks with the massive animal and has to do numerous twists and turns and dances to free herself from the lease. Etymology:<\/em> PETANGLED – verb – from PET + TANGLED (snarled, interlaced, or mixed up) Created by:<\/em> Stevenson0.<\/p>\n

Muzzletoff<\/strong>: \/muz zel toff<\/em>\/ Dogless was a Muzzletoff. He had been born of a wealthy family and was educated in the finest boarding schools. Th only trouble he had was convincing his folks that he could be the best dogwalker on the Planet. They were horrified at a boy of his breeding doing a doggy round up and having asteer home contest every month. He had tough skin and it let him be carried away. Guys like Dogless, they deserved to be lonely and tied up in their work.
\n Etymology:<\/em> Play on Mazel Tov (Good Fortune in Hebrew) & Muzzle (a leather or wire restraint that fits over an animal’s snout (especially a dog’s nose and jaws) and prevents it from eating or biting) & Toff (an elegantly dressed man (often with affected manners) <\/p>\n
