I should say that there have been updates to the the Bizarre Regionalisms page. No, this isn't adults-only. It's not even in terribly questionable taste. Take a look and email me if you know of any odd seasonal activities or colorful regionalisms. There are also some new photos of quilts on the hobbies page. For an eclectic ride around the Wild, Wild Web, check out some links. Comments on the site? Note any links that are inactive? Please sign my guestbook or email me!
I live in scenic southern Arizona with my two humans and the cat and fish that one of them foolishly insists on keeping. Being a Pembroke corgi, I am descended from a long line of Welsh cattle herding dogs. A short-legged breed that evolved while contending with obnoxious and obstructive bovines, corgis developed a commanding bark, extreme intelligence and forceful personalities. Some say that "corgi" means "fairy steed," a reference to the saddle-shaped markings some corgis have on their shoulders. As if I would allow some little sprite to ride me like a pack animal!
Cardigan corgis are a similar breed with a heavier bone structure and longer body. They are also allowed to keep their tails, which are generally docked on Pembrokes. (This is probably just as well for me, since it would otherwise get stuck full of cholla cactus, tumbleweed and other sharp desert plants.) The Queen of England inexplicably keeps Cardigans, which are not as cute or personable as Pembrokes. Not that I'm biased or anything.
Here I am, with a face like Helen of Troy. Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.
