- , DAY, A DOG HOUSE The dog sits in the house, looking unhappily out at the rain.
- If it's an abbreviated slug line, it's the same: THE LIVING ROOM The dog sits in the living room by the window, looking unhappily out at the rain.
- Now, if you're talking about that weird-*** format where you make the first words of certain sentences into a sort of abbreviated pseudo-slug line then I would do it like this: THE DOG - - pulls out a semi-automatic and starts spraying the room with white-head lead whilst barking hysterically.

Now just a second, Neal. That is really non-standard, and you know it!
It's much more usul standard in fact to do this:
INT. A DOG HOUSE - DAY
This business with the commas is all you, and only you, I think. And the time of day before the location is unusual.
