What does DOGIE mean in Scrabble?
noun
North Americaninformal
A motherless or stray calf in a cattle herd, a term from the old cattle ranges of the American West.
A cowboy driving a herd across open range had to keep an eye out for a dogie, since a calf without its mother needed extra care and was more likely to wander off or fall behind. The word became familiar far beyond ranching through cowboy songs, most famously the old trail song that tells riders to get along, little dogies. Today dogie survives mainly in western fiction, folk music, and descriptions of historical ranch life.
