How did that get to be an insult? I wonder where the word came from in the first place.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-83581117084783378012013-10-06T14:08:14.880+01:002013-10-06T14:08:14.880+01:00Steve, in the dog show world the word bitch is use...Steve, in the dog show world the word bitch is used pretty much exclusively for female dogs. If you picked up a catalog at a show you would see entries for Puppy Dogs/Puppy Bitches, Open Dog/Open Bitches. I am so used to the word it doesn't bother me at all. Once a female is spayed they typically don't refer to her as a bitch anymore. <br /><br />Funny that the Brits use it a lot. Outside of the show world you don't hear it here, that is true.<br /><br />Love the pic! I wondered about that book ... good to know it was a decent read. I'll have to look for it at the library.<br />Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05875008154587045790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-71793927462703392892013-10-06T13:42:36.228+01:002013-10-06T13:42:36.228+01:00I enjoyed that book a great deal.

I think I'll get deeply into it while I wait for the end of the shutdown.<br /><br />I would never call Olga that name either. And I hate Dean Martin's singing voice.
