What does DOGEY mean in Scrabble?
noun
North Americanregional
A stray or motherless calf, especially one running with a cattle herd on the open range; a variant spelling of dogie.
Dogey belongs to the working vocabulary of American cattle ranching, where herders needed a quick word for a calf that had lost its mother and had to be looked after separately or left to fend for itself among the rest of the herd. The word is best known through the cowboy song that tells riders to get along, little dogies, and dogey and dogie are simply two spellings of the same term rather than two different words.

Regional ranching vocabulary from the American West; dogie is the far more common spelling today.
