Phrasal Verbs and Idioms

Phrasal Verb and Idiom Friday!

Heather

Do you have any pets? Today’s phrasal verbs and idioms are all about taking care of animals. I have a little one-eyed dachshund, called Sammy. He’s pretty awesome.

Sammy likes to pig out on chicken whenever he gets the opportunity, and he’s spoiled rotten by my parents, so he gets a lot of chicken!

He often gets the lion’s share of the couch, but I don’t mind sharing with him. He seems to always know how to make me smile, and he loves to go for walks around the neighbourhood.

What kind of pet do you have?

  • to take care of: to help an animal or another human to live a healthy and happy life, to provide another living creature with what it needs to live
  • pig out: eat too much
  • spoiled rotten: given everything that you want in excess
  • the lion’s share: most of, the majority of something

Heather is a lost member of a travelling circus (also known in the common vernacular as an English Teacher) who somehow found herself in writing online. She is originally from Canada and enjoys eating out and cooking creative meals for herself (though she prefers the former and often burns the latter). Some of her favorite dishes include Sapi Rendang, Chiburek, and deep-fried ice cream. She makes a mean pumpkin loaf.
