a Dog's Life

[Trussell]

Stuck on the last half dozen. Any help would be appreciated.
no. 10 Steer pet - I thought might be Bull (steer) dog but I think no. 45 is this. Could no.10 be Whip (steer) pet, then?

Really stuck on:-
no. 23 Posted foreign capital leads primitive plough.
no.25 Guide or head - could this be Ranger?
no.27.Smelly euphemism without brightness
no.31.Halt production briefly
no.38 You're in bother if a copper feels it

Thanks in anticipation

Copper feels your collar .. Collie dog

[shaneystar2]

38 Collar

[oldwoman]

25 Lead

[shaneystar2]

23 St Bernards..sent ..Berne ...adze

[shaneystar2]

31 Paws ....pause ?

[johnalex]

23 St Bernard . . . St(sent)+Bern(Swiss cap)+ard(plough)

[oldwoman]

Re collar above feel stupid, I thought you had to make a dog from the answer.

[shaneystar2]

I should have realised an adze is not a plough ...sorry Trussell....no good at DIY or ploughing .

[shaneystar2]

27 There is such a thing as a Whiffet ....whiff as in smelly.
It means whippersnapper but is also used to denote a pup.
Bit of a shot in the dark though !
It's in my Chambers lists under dogs and dog related things..

[Trussell]

Thank you all so very much.
I had tried to fit St Bernard in as was surprised it was not there but I didn't know an ard was a plough. I played around with till and harrow .
Please don't feel a stupid old woman, I tried to fit dogs to them all too.
I also had thought of pause but not seen 'paws' - whose a thicko now, then.
Many thanks again. it only leaves me with "Smelly euphemism", now - could this be POO dle?

[Trussell]

Sorry, shaneystar2, only just noticed your second help. i was so carried away by all earlier answers.
Whiff is certainly a smelly euphemism but is "et" without brightness?
Poo is also smelly and is "dle" = "dull" making Poodull smelly minus brightness? Think I'll go for this, if you don't mind.

Many thanks again for all your help

[shaneystar2]

No probs..glad to help ....Poodull makes much more sense !
Good luck with your quiz.
