Possible Title: Dog-On-It
Good Ones:
Place for Sundance ETTA [Etta Place was the girl in the movie]
Dragnet users SEINERS
Stock phrase ATPAR
Flag carrier REF [for fouls]
Theme: Dog breed names joined to words making the sound of new words or phrases
Powerful dog that loves a Passover staple? MATZOROTTIE [“rottie” is a nickname for Rottweiler]
Engages in toy dog smuggling? SNEAKSAPEKE [“peke” is a Pekinese]
Some Nits to Pick:
ESSA [I'd go with "Cont add-on?" (as in contract abbr.)]
RATING: ;D ;D Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
-
I have one nit to pick. I would like answers that are time zones, in this puzzle's case CST, to be seasonally specific. Currently St. Paul's time zone is CDT.
-
So would you clue CST: "Winter time in St. Paul?" It does seem an improvement because of the two words replacing "wintertime." And it works for "summertime" when the answer is CDT.

Precisely.
