<p>Thanks Finn and Rhonda.</p>
<p>We use "a sea wolf" so very close:-)</p>
<p>Two next expressions are great. Second one I can change in my would-be excuse for traffic police: "Kasia ate my glasses". So one dark November day (and night) I had to drive car in sunglasses!</p>

<p>Thanks David, I think first phrase is definitely true, they deserve it. I saw lately so many stray dogs and homeless people. My neighbours run children's home. Absolutely there is something wrong with human beings.Thanks God we have such a great four legged friends.</p>
<p>We have one terrifying country magic cure. It's dog's lard. There are still people that believe it's remedy.</p>

<p>The last one brings a dreadfull tale to mind. I had brought students landscape plans home to mark as it is easier to spread them out on my large table. I came back from getting a cup of tea and discovered young Kerry dragging off a rolled plan in his sharp baby teeth mouth. Thank goodness he had just damaged the margins. I did have to confess to the class and the student that my Irish pup had tried to eat her homework. Red faced I give students the benefit of the doubt when they tell me this…</p>

Thank you for the origin of hair of the dog.<br />
I love that kind of stuff. Leave it to Shakesperians to involve alcohol.

<p>Thanks Sue, lot of new expression. I didn,t know vicar's collar. In Polish we swim like a dog too and this is the very first and simple stroke:-)</p>
<p>I think that in English is much better with "doggish" expressions than in Polish. You have quite a lot of positive ones, with liking. </p>

<p>Have we had 'dog collar' that vicars wear. Then there is 'dogged'...obstinately determined; and 'dog eared' or shabby and worn out. Oh and 'doggie paddle' my first swimming stroke, and I haven't really improved much:)</p>
<p>So then there's 'going to the dogs'....no not greyhound racing! but sadly another negative term. And my final one'a general dogsbody' so someone who gets to do all the menial jobs.</p>

<p>There is an old political statement about ' reds under the bed'. It brings up wonderful images about my Irish boys and our bed. Will have to change it to ' Reds on the bed' as this is the daily realtity.</p>
