puppy-dog book

A used book (overall condition unimportant) that an avid reader "rescues" from a library sale, used-bookstore, clearance shelf, or home of a downsizing relative, without any immediate need for it but in the fear it will be pulped otherwise. The term puppy-dog comes from the similarity to rescuing an animal and taking it home to a house already full of cats and dogs, for fear it would otherwise be euthanized.

"Did you really need to buy DISCOURSES ON LIVY by Niccolo Machiavelli?"
"Well . . . it's a puppy-dog book to me. It's a good clean copy, it was cheap, eventually I may find time to read it, and most of all I couldn't bear the idea of it hitting the recycling bin and sent to print heaven."

Night Dog Syndrome

Dogs who are kept outside in a yard at night can have a tendency to develop Night Dog Syndrome aka Vampire Dog Syndrome. This results when for reasons such as inadequate bedding, insufficient daily exercise from the owner to tire the animal, disturbance by other nocturnal animals or it being too cold or too noisy at night. The animal is unable to sleep through the night and its sleeping pattern is reversed from normal to that of a night shift worker. The canine can often be witnessed displaying the greatest levels of its daily energy quota after midnight, in the early hours of the morning, often seen leaping and prancing around the the yard, hunting, barking and guarding and/or bolting up and down the the fence line with great vigor. The animal will have more of a tendency towards delinquency including ignoring basic commands and destroying anything that it can get its teeth around during times of boredom. Contributing to the condition is the fact that the animal is forced to sleep during the day in direct or indirect sunlight which disturbs the natural melatonin cycle. The skills and motor patterns of these animals may become irregular and can often degrade to bizarre and down right frightening, the stuff from horror movies folks, as the animal slips further into the vicious cycle of NDS.

Ralph the dog developed Night Dog Syndrome due the presence of nocturnal possums in the trees of the yard where he was kept at night. The owners eventually put down the animal ahead of his time due to his bizarre and unruly behavior. They were ignorant and unaware of his condition.

hot-dog style

The way Christian girls have sex so that they can preserve their v-cards. Normally, the guy just puts it between her legs rather than actually in her vagina.

"Hey Mary Ellen, did you hook up with Chad?"
"Yeah, but we just did it hot-dog style, so Jesus isn't mad!"

best worst dog

A pet dog that is loyal, lovable, and gentle to owners, where as anyone from the outside is treated as a danger, a threat to society, and the petdog dog will be sure to make sure to make that clear by acting like a complete lunatic.

After my dog bit the neighbor, I came to the realization that she is the best worst dog.
