someone” because that’s what birddogs do! Those
endowed with dogged determination will fight relent-
lessly to reach their goal. If you feel that life has
given you a raw deal, remember that every dog has
its day.
During the dog days of summer, you are undoubt-
edly tired as a dog. Don’t forget Noel Coward’s com-
ment that only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in
the midday sun. Despite the health risks, some peo-
ple still sunbathe. Clearly you can’t teach an old dog
new tricks!
I always marvel when people use the phrase
dog’s life to describe a boring, miserable existence.
When I look around, I can’t help but notice the life of
luxury that many canines enjoy – designer leashes
often decorated with bling, orthopedic beds, organic
food and – yes – even health insurance. Even if you
disapprove of how your companion spoils the dog,
keep quiet. Clearly this is a “love me, love my dog”
situation.
Now let’s switch our attention to our feline friends.
They too don’t fare so well in English – maybe
because they are so slyly independent.
Fat cats make big donations to political cam-
paigns. Tired students sometimes take a cat nap
during long, boring lectures. You’ll risk being called a
fraidy cat if you’re nervous and timid. Nobody likes
catty individuals because they are always making
nasty, malicious comments.
When you go for a job interview, dress appropri-
ately. You don’t want to look like something the cat
dragged in. When you have been invited to a sur-
prise party, be quiet and don’t let the cat out of the
bag.
Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it
back. Don’t be surprised because everybody knows
that a cat has nine lives. Be careful not to let a black
cat cross your path. Nobody needs bad luck, espe-
cially if you have only one life.
Too bad it started to rain cats and dogs when you
were out on the golf course. Maybe you would have
made that hole in one. If that had been the case,
you’d be considered the cat’s meow as well as a
lucky dog.
