So I'm going to give her a little bonus food and scritch her ears. She really Really didn't want to swallow her pill earlier, and I had to be a little more forceful than I like, and now I feel horrifically guilty (whereas she has probably forgotten). At a church? Where else is something going to be nonclerical? At a 7-11? works just fine all on its own. Also, re: LAIC, what is up with the latter part of the clue? ( 53D: Nonclerical, at a church). LAIC just seems more glaringly crosswordesey, somehow, as does the whole SCAT / SHOO / GIT / SCRAM industrial complex. I like LAIT / STAT better than LAIC / SCAT, but I can't say my way's better. But GOOSE EGGS is a pretty good answer all on its own. Nothing runs like a goose, that's for sure. We get another long animal answer with GOOSE EGGS, but no simile, alas. But the puzzle was so so easy that no one is likely to complain or even care. The same-clue gimmick so rarely works, and I don't really know whom it's supposed to please or impress.
