1. In between the bite marks, I make out the word "husky." Maybe Lexi is hoping a handsome husky from Alaska will fly in and sweep her off her feet. If he lived up to the meaning of his name, what would that husky look like? Tall and lanky Dark and mysterious Short and pudgy Big and muscular

2. Lexi devoured the last letter in the name of her canine cousin, the Sloughi, leaving me with only "slough." It's not a dog breed anymore, so instead, which definition applies to "slough"? Marsh Fountain Ocean Faucet

3. Maybe Lexi needs a dentist: through the slobber I see the word "houndstooth." It probably doesn't mean what she thinks it does! Where would one most likely find houndstooth? In mixed drinks On toothbrushes In the garden On textiles

4. What's this? Pug-nosed! Surely Lexi doesn't mean me! While it's absolutely not true, my nose is far too unique to be classified, what term is synonymous with "pug nose"? Hawk nose Greek nose Snub nose Aquiline nose

5. Lexi corresponds with a Scottish dog who's coming to visit soon, and has learned from my dictionary how to mark a trail for her with mounds of stones. Like Lexi's Scottish friend, what is this kind of stone marker called? Kiosk Cairn Monolith Obelisk

6. Although her present bad behavior might change things, Lexi plans on going to the beauty shop soon and apparently has a fluffy new 'do in mind. What dog breed's name describes a curly, old-fashioned hairstyle? Poodle Collie Chihuahua Harrier

7. Like me, Lexi grew up in the southern region of the U.S. and knows all about "hush puppies." I'll bet the dictionary page containing that word didn't taste as good as the real thing! What is a hush puppy? Something you put in cookies Something you make with cornmeal Something you feed wild birds Something that keeps insects away

8. Pointer, hmm. Lexi's not going hunting, so while her mind is probably on the canine kind of pointer, she must subconsciously want to play online quizzes using the mouse's pointer! What word describes that kind of pointer on the computer screen? Speller Hexer Cursor Darner

9. What do you know, I learned some trivia from Lexi's escapade: there's a dog breed called Chinook! But to meteorologists, what kind of weather phenomenon is a "chinook"? Hailstorm Drought Snow Wind

10. Lexi needs a spelling lesson! She chewed up tarrier and promptly spit it out (yuk!), probably thinking it was the same as "terrier." Most unlike Lexi, what would a "tarrier" be prone to do? Go on shopping sprees Hang around idly Practice mental math Wash hands compulsively
