They often do that - in fact there has been a rash of "Nancy" indicating FRench recently, so I think PAPILLON is OK

Thanks for your help chrise - I'll go with Papillon then and work on the other one.

I don't see anything for 35 - might it be a waterside plant, perhaps?

btw what's the significance of "It's raining"? Do all the answers include a cat or a dog?
(The two I've seen do.)

That's right chrise, 50 of one and 5l of the other as one answer contains both a cat and dog. They might be breeds, cartoon animals, cat being part of a word and so on. A real mixture. If I'm right, my last ones are dogs.

Hi lady bee!! For 35 think of standard as another word for average and the dog product should be picked up by responsible owners.!!!!
I wonder if you could help me with 39. Bling formed all I once held dear (9). I am really hoping it will be cat based -- if not, I am really up a gum tree. !!!

yes polly dee it's the large cat again at the end - defn bling - think older men hairy chest!

Thank you so much scarlett -- I don't know how I missed that. !!!!!

Anything better than dhole for 72 polly? (It has to be adog by my reckoning?)

No scarlett, I think that is probably the best answer. I originally had miaow (cat call as opposed to wolf whistle) but I was persuaded to follow the whistling dog idea. !!!
