Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for August 14, 2016

So, who will win the gold at the end of this race?

If you aren’t charmed by a cat’s antics, best not to get one.

Catgut strings aren’t literally made of cats’ intestines.

The “cat” in “cat-gut” is short for “cattle.”The more you know…..

MaizingNeither Web Col 10 nor my 5-vol unabridged give an etymology, but both mention the common source is sheep intestine. Neither mention the use of stretched silkworm larvae intestine in surgery, although the unabridged did mention that cats were unlikely to have ever been used. Research is useful before declaring.

I suspect your dog wouldn’t last long at mine. That picture looks like a nasty yippy yappy little mutt.

In point of fact, a kitten would have a bit of difficulty dragging a shoe in Jimbo’s size. A baby shoe, yes. Pasquale’s shoe, maybe. Jimbo’s would probably be half her weight.
