Does anyone use this phrase anymore?

"Put on the dog."

I seem to remember learning that from my Grandma Cassidy, an adorable leprechaun of a woman.

But I'm not sure I've heard it in the last 20 years or so.

Until yesterday, when I said it to Rich Davis and he used it in this article about the upcoming Golden Ticket Awards.

Perhaps some will now expect a Holidog appearance.

Or maybe we'll have it covered when the winners take a bow.

Wow. Close one.
