GROOOOOOOOM ME! (a book of dogs by Tim Flach)
No, this isn't a lion with a zebra tattoo. It's a standard poodle that's been groomed creatively. 'Creative grooming' is worth Googling if you have a spare moment. Some of the images of such extreme grooming have to be seen to be believed

Word of the Day - Anatidaephobia
Anatidaephobia: The Fear of Being Watched by a... Duck!
"Anitidae" meaning duck; and "phobia" meaning fear - Anatidaephobia is the uncontrollable fear of being watched by a duck. While this sounds like a joke, it's a genuine fear that some people actually have.

WORD OF THE DAY
Nesh
Nesh is an English dialect adjective meaning unusually susceptible to cold weather and there is no synonym for this use. Usage has been recorded in Cheshire, Staffordshire, the East Midlands, Lancashire, South Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Shropshire.
A frequently quoted use of nesh is in D. H. Lawrence's Sons and Lovers. Written in 1913, we have this exchange:
- "F-ff-f!" he went, pretending to shudder with cold.
- "Goodness, man, don't be such a kid!" said Mrs. Morel. "It's NOT cold."
- "Thee strip thysen stark nak'd to wesh thy flesh i' that scullery," said the miner, as he rubbed his hair; "nowt b'r a ice-'ouse!"
- "And I shouldn't make that fuss," replied his wife.
- "No, tha'd drop down stiff, as dead as a door-knob, wi' thy nesh sides."
