| Koohii Story 1 | Hustle and bustle = a big St. Bernard dog frisking about in a haystack, knocking it down and spreading the hay about, after the field hands just stacked it up. |
| Koohii Story 2 | A bustle is also the name for the big wire-framed skirts that women used to wear. Here´s a St. Bernard dog jammed ass-first into the top of a haystack, looking like some kind of proper Victorian-era lady as he struggles to get out. |
