[New American Encyclopedia,
Grammar, Rhetoric, page 25,
c. 1908, P.F Colier & Son]
Starts with "Z": Zeugma, a.k.a. Syllepsis, starts with the "Z". A grammar term that means omitting an implied word, a verb or noun, which the reader by the mind presumes is there. I don't think we had this in grammar school nor in high school. Did you?
["as seen on TV" advertisement video]
My pictorial example for Zeugma. They were all seated at the table and began eating, and the dog. [what was the dog doing, it also was at the table eating.]
A Favorite: Pets will be my favorite today. This posting may be going to the dogs anyway.
This is Adi, our therapy dog, reading with BP
She specialized in reading with children
and visiting assisted living residents"
Adi died September 17, 2012 (read my tribute to her here)
Adi was born September 1, 1996. Read Adi's blog post here.
Tom's choice, "ZZZ": "ZZZ", I was getting my Z's, a little snooZe, but then Jim came along and by his commotion woke me up.
Dutch, a Blue Russian cat, belongs to my younger daughter and youngest granddaughter. He's still fairly new to our family.

Lagnaippe: I can't leave the Alphabet with telling of Katrin . She was our Toy Poodle dog, who died in November 2014. We miss her very much also. (Adi and Amber go for a walk)
(A search here for the word, 'Katrin')
(A search on my "other blog" for 'Katrin')
Read of "Princess BP's" tale about Katrin being naughty with the toothpaste.
