If “language is the dress of thoughts” ( Johnson), then idioms must the wardrobe.
Jientje at Heaven Is In Belgium hosts A Thousand Words In Idioms on Wednesdays wherein she asks participants to illustrate an idiom or two with a photo.
If you lie down with dogs, you’ll get up with fleas.
Sorry that picture isn’t clearer — it’s an old one, maybe even from an old cell phone, I don’t remember. But the saying means basically if you associate with the wrong kind of people, you’ll pick up some of their bad habits or flaws.
Dirty dog.
This is a phrase used for a low-down, sneaky, cheating person. Thankfully Suzie can be transformed from a dirty dog to a clean one, though she’s not happy about the process. I just love her pitiful expression there. Poor baby!
And though we’re supposed to keep it to two idioms, I did want to show Suzie on a happier note:
Every dog has his (or her) day.
This means everyone has some good portion to his life, some chance for success.

What great pictures for these idioms. Just wonderful . I especially like the 3rd one. Well done my friend. 🙂
What a beautiful dog Suzie is, even when she’s dirty!! That last picture is so endearing!!
Loved all the idioms and the pictures, thanks for playing Barbara, I am having so much fun with this!
My mom used to tell me and my sister the one about lying down with dogs and getting up with fleas; it’s a tradition that I continued with my daughter, nieces, and nephews. Great idioms and gorgeous dog!
