I have a dog that talks in its sleep. One day a visitor was astonished to hear the dog bellow, "My name is Christopher Columbus! I am seven hundred years old! I own America! I married Marilyn Monroe!"
When the visitor asked what was going on, I replied, "Don't worry about it. It's better to just let sleeping dogs lie."
The most affectionate creature in the world is a wet dog.
~Ambrose Bierce
A baby eel is called an elver, a baby oyster is called a spat.
