It was decked out with the finest accessories known to caninekind (and humankind as well, in some aspects) in a garish display of petownership. "Geez," said Jack, shaking his head in disbelief. "Talk about being petowned." "Imagine extraterrestrials," cried Jill with intensity, "coming along and seeing this pethetic display...what will they think?!" "That humans are the enslaved wards of these four-legged superiors, bridled into succumbing to each and every demand, including the insidious latrine duty?" "Yes!"

"Moggie" is a common term for a cat in Australia - Is its use widespread - or even known - in other parts of the English speaking world? - OZZIEBOB, 2007-12-11: 06:48:00
"Moggie" seems to be used more by predominantly British-influenced populations. I've never heard it used here (Eastern U.S.) but I'm not really a 'cat person' either. Interesting blend, BTW. - Tigger, 2007-12-11: 14:37:00
I love the way it sounds - Jabberwocky, 2007-12-11: 14:45:00
