I did not like this at all! And one of the yellows threw me as not being quite clear.

I got too confident there - zipping along thinking ‘this is easy’, and tripped up on line 3.

Back to yesterday, I was amazed to discover that a prairie dog isn’t actually a wild dog like a coyote. Mind blown!

OK today. Couple I thought could be RH but turns out they weren't.
Perhaps there should be a category: RHs that aren't RHs.

(BTW yesterday's 'Top' in 'dogs that aren't dogs' connection was a wrong 'un according to my pooch. He is Top Dog in the family and is definitely a dog that is a dog).
