The more I see of humans, The more I love Dogs
COMFORTER :
Small spaniels were used to cure human disorders; 'comforters' were pressed against the afflicted part, keeping it warm and sometimes effecting a cure simply because the patient believed it was possible.
DOG FUR :
Dog fur is generally thought much too inferior to be worn, except perhaps as a travel rug. But samoyed skins were worn as clothing by 18th century Siberians, and the coat clippings of Tibetan terriers used to be mixed with yak hair and woven into a soft, semi- waterproof cloth. Wool from poodles, Old English sheep dogs etc is sometimes spun and knitted by enthusiasts.
GLOVE/POCKET BEAGLE :
A very small dog from the Elizabethan times up to the 19th century, said to be small enough to be carried in a lady's glove, but in fact applied to any beagle under 10 inches high.
MUFF DOG :
Toy terrier small enough to slip into a muff and keep its owner's hands warm.
POWDER PUFF :
In hairless breeds, the occasional pup which is born with normal hair and teeth.
PYJAMA DOG :
Afghan hounds have been called 'greyhounds in pyjama'.
SLEEVE DOG :
Japanese spaniels and Chinese temple dogs carried in the loose sleeves of oriental gowns.
WATER-RUGS :
Shakespeare's description of the dog he used for hunting waterfowl on the Avon, probably an English water spaniel.
