Etch-a-Breath wins first sniglet contest
Sniglet contests will continue indefinitely while this blog continues it's quest for words that best describe all things doggie.
In our next contest, I am looking for the sniglet that best describes:
Drying yourself with a towel only to find that there had been dog hair on it (too late), and having the dog hair stick to your wet body.
There can be up to two winners, one for hand towels and one for bath towels. I think in houses with kids, like mine, towels are more likely to end up on the floor and then be hung back up amid a chorus of "I don't know who did that - it wasn't me(s)".
I will figure out some sort of extra credit for anyone who descibes my kid's knack of hanging up dirty towels , followed by their total denial.
About the top photo-
Connie won the first sniglet contest for submitting Etch-a Breath in the comment sectionto describe frozen dog breath on the inside of your car windshield.
As the winner, she got to post photos of her dogs. Here is what she had to say about them:
Katie is a 3-year old rough coat collie mix, rescued from animal control after being returned twice by other families. She's my son's protector, a big, bounding, furry ball of love who knows how to melt our hearts. Daisy is a 5-year old mutt (the pound said she was a shiba inu) who is my shadow, my security guard, my navigator (she knows which drive-throughs give out treats), and my buddy.

That would be: using a 'terrier cloth' towel, of course! ;>)

the pic of katie and daisy captures perfectly why two dogs are better than one!
