Today I heard one dogowner tell his dog to stop barking at her "colleagues"

[conuly]

meaning Moonpie and Finn, of course!

Colleague, that's a word that hadn't occurred to me to describe their relationship to other dogs!

Ah, Tang. When our family went camping we lived on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and Tang.

Glad it's still around.

I can just imagine the dogs gossiping about their colleagues. "My client struggles with meeting deadlines. Last night we didn't go walking until 8pm, can you imagine it? But he's a sweetheart, really."

I'm trying to come up with a pun about that and it's more difficult than I expected. "Cobarkers" is about the best I can think of.

My trio of little ankle-biters look on other dogs as adversaries instead of colleagues. :-D

Tang! Wow, that's a blast from the past. My favorite aunt used to make a concoction we called "Russian Tea" with iced tea mix, Tang and spices. It was in no way Russian, but it sure was delicious.

So many breeds, so many ways to view the world.

I tend to consider the humans of dogs their companion or service animal.
