Lol!!! Yup, calls the yard a "bunch of scruffy tailed curs" on a daily basis. 42 years in January. I think it's strictly Ina joking fashion though. I know it makes him squint when he sees others call them hounds. Any time he's being serious they are called bulldogs.

I've called these dogs many things, some can't be repeated in polite company. I think what makes me cringe the most is the context some folks use it in, makes it pretty obvious how serious they are about what they do and all in all that's what really rubs me the wrong way. the fair weather, half assed, fly by night types. I don't really care if you call them puffalmups or woozles as long as ur heart is where it's supposed to be.
