Re X - it's xtraordinary, how one tends to ignore the most the obvious!
I struggled to find an entry for this letter apart from Xmas.
Then, it struck me that X marks the spot in my city...
This cross, to be found in the middle of Broad Street - doesn't look very impressive but it has great historic significance.It marks, the exact spot, where three Church of England bishops - Thomas Cranmer, Nicholas Ridley & Hugh Latimer; the Dreamingspires Martyrs, were tried for heresy & subsequently burnt at the stake for their religious beliefs & teachings, per Catholic Queen Mary's orders in the 1550's.
And, of course, X has to stand for xtra special Xmas pup too.
Who else, but my late boy sitting up, on his last Xmas...
Then, we come to the letter Y - err!
Dreamingspires has many hackney cabs ie Taxis.
Most are Black like those in London, but some are sponsored like this Yellow Cab, waiting for a ride in Gloucester Green last Summer...
Now, I don't have a Y doggy, i.e. as in yellow Golden Labrador.
But, I do fortuitously have Yogu again...
All of which brings us to the very last letter of the alphebet, which has to be the toughest - Z!!!
But, I did have a plan - a Zebra road crossing; knew where to find one in my locality too, only fate took a hand, so never got there to photo it!
So, I confess to having zilch.
There is though, within the Univercity of Dreamingspires, a department of Zoology - a branch of Biology concerned with the study of animals, so maybe a Zzzzzzzzzzzzing Taffy gets me of the hook...
Denise is the host here, whose zeal keeps this challenge zinging along.
To zoom in on more ABC'ers do visit HERE!
This ABC Wednesday round - Round 2 for me, Round 3 for others; I tired to keep local to Dreamingspires!
So, need a new theme for the letters of the alphabet to play again.
Can I find one?
You'll just have to wait & see.

Well, you have certainly caught up with a diverse collection. I think the Zizzer rounds it out nicely.
Great list you have there. ;)

This is very clever! You have gone beyond my attempt! I simply did nearly every letter of the alphabet and just couldn't do the last 3! I feel bad that I nearly made the round but not quite!
I love this post, what a lovely idea....don't think I could cope with anothere meme at the moment, but one for the future maybe! Very lovely dogs, your Hero looks adorable sitting up, the Terrier is as snug as a bug.....and Yogu, what a handsome boy! (hope it's a boy!)
Anyhowl, we have something for you at our place, if you want it....if not, no biggy, we know some folk are not into the whole award thing!

I really enjoy this meme, but have too much on my plate to participate. You, however, have completed the task admirably. Love the Zzzzzzzzzing at the end.
Tough ones but you pulled off, Blue! Great choices for X, Y and Zee!
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
Great catch up, I missed a few this time round, its not always easy especially at the end of the alphabet.
Well done!! You've covered the last three letters beautifully. Hero was such a love.
