r5 - boxer mix

-

Hello! Here's a themeless puzzle dedicated to my dog Hazel, who is a boxer/pit bull (/shark) mix, which is how I justify including the clue [Boxer mix?] for 20A even though I know it doesn't really work. But how can you resist THAT FACE???

As always, thanks to clr and Brooke for their invaluable test-solving feedback that vastly improved the puzzle, and thanks to a certain unnamed publication for rejecting this grid so I could make the clues much more fun and then share it with you here. 

Please leave any and all compliments for Hazel, who is a very good girl, in the comments ❤️

Well, well, well, if it isn't the Just Gridding! team back with another "Just the Grid"!  In case you need a refresher, this is an experiment that we run every so often in which we post a grid and crowdsource this clues. Unlike most themeless grids, which are often created with a particular voice and/or message in mind, the grids we use for these experiments are created especially for this purpose, so that we can solicit as many voices and fresh cluing angles as possible. This is an opportunity for new and experienced constructors alike to experiment with voice-y or boundary-pushing clues, so don't hold back!  Check out the grid and then submit your clues using the links below (feel free to submit as many times as you like!).  Grid Clue Submission Form The deadline to submit clues is July 14, 2023.
