Answer:  “PUNDAY“ MORNING

(Punday, Punday . . . so good to me.  Punday morning, it was all I hoped it would be-e-e!  I was about having a stroke, trying to come up with a dog related answer!  This wasn’t a gimme, by any means.  The answer letter layout did an excellent job hiding the answer.  At first I saw PUNNY, but that’s only 5 letters, so that didn’t work.  Finally, after half a day of work, I took another look at it, and saw the word MONDAY.  Hey, that fit!  Now, all I had to do was rearrange NNPGUIR.  I got PRUNING.  So, the answer was “MONDAY” PRUNING.  But, what’s “pruning” got to do with anything?  And why would “Monday” be in quotation marks???  “Monday” is much funnier as “PUNDAY”, so then I looked at NNGOMIR, and quickly realized it was MORNING.  No growling.  No yelping.  No Dog Day Afternoon.

We have a new clue word today, in “bunny”!  Of all words!  How did they go this long without using “bunny”?  LOL.  It gives ralis95 something different to do.  It looks like all of the jumbles were new, too.  The letter groupings in the clue words made it much easier for yer uncle.  It looks like the boys have a sweet deal.  Wherever they are, it’s bring your dog to work day!  My big baby would love that!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
