Ah - the penny has dropped - never heard of that proverb though. Absolutely barking mad!

Assuming 2d is adieu - can anyone explain the wordplay?

Thanks

Have you got the ODQ? If you would like to find the quote try 360.3
I never heard it before, either. Neither would I call it a proverb.

I didn't word that last one properly - that's all I can find in ODQ, and it's a "sounds like"

I don't have ODQ as such, but I do have "The Oxford Library of Word & Phrases" - 3 volume set
It's in Vol 2 - Proverbs
14a is new to me too!

I have the revised fourth edition of ODQ and nothing on page 360 seems relevant. Is someone using a later edition?

OK, I see the anagrams now, but where was the anagram indicator? I haven't got the ODQ. Is the proverb on the web? I presume it says something about the companionship of canines?

I think the indication for anagrams is in the quotation - e.g. "barking" - as i mad.
