Random Question (take two)...

Grammy Pammy informed me this afternoon that a puppy is "whelped" (as opposed to "pupped").



Which leads me to my next question:




If a horse is "foaled"...




...and a dog is "whelped"...







...does that mean that a cat is "mewed"?!

Can I ask what sparked this discussion? Are fish fished?

I'm pretty sure that fish are "hatched", but RR thinks that they might be "spawned".

I have no idea what started this discussion. Trevor and I were driving back from dinner on Sunday night when we passed a lady walking a puppy on Mockingbird Avenue. That was the moment I started to think about the whole horse=foaled concept (which, of course, lead directly to the dog=pupped question in my mind). When I told Trevor about it and he just looked at me like I was crazy (typical reaction from the Boy Toy) and said, “Well, that was random”!

*Alas*

It is stuff like this that keeps me up at night...

But what a perfect outlet your blog is for random questions such as those. I can almost picture the perplexed look on Trevor's face. hee hee.

Late night last night, eh?
