Just for Fun

I thought it might be fun to have a page on this site for some non-book-related things.

Like dogs!  Meet my Maggie, born November of 2023.  She's part cocker spaniel and part mini-Aussie.

 

 

 She's smart, goofy, energetic, and sweet-natured.

And this is Darcy, my Corgi I lost in Feb of 2024.  Such a wonderful dog:

I adore Corgis.  They're such odd little dogs:  long bodies like Dachshunds, triangle ears like Chihuahuas, facial features like Huskies.  They have long torsos and short, stumpy legs (the name “Corgi” means “dwarf dog” in Welsh).

They’re hard to find in The States, but thanks to the internet, they’re becoming more popular than ever.  In fact, entire blogs and Tumblr sites are devoted to this goofy, unique breed, and they've gained quite a following.  So, I thought I'd devote at least a bit of time to them here:

Some facts about Corgis (all are clickable links):

They’re the Queen’s dogs. 

They herd cows fearlessly.  

They have soulful eyes.  

They look like stuffed animals.

Since most don't have tails, their ears can often signal their emotions:  Loving and submissive.  Or inquisitive.


They’re super goofy.   Goofy.  Goofy.

They can imitate Chewbacca.  

They sleep in awkward positions.  See?

They talk 

They’re sassy.  

They can do tricks. 


They even play Scrabble.  

They like to drive.

And swim.  

And chew on cats’ ears.  

And wear costumes.

And dance.  

But best of all?  They smile.  Constantly.  Even in their sleep.     


No wonder so many people love them.
