Identification Dog: Bipedal Animals

I’m a scienterrific little dog with tail!  I dids a successful animal identification when I went visiting with Mommy and Daddy!

I carefully studied the two new animals that I found. This one was female and squirmy. But she talked and made use of toys.

The male one chased me, but he also made good use of my floppy toy. Both had thumbs, and when I taste tested one of the animals, she tasted kind of like Mommy does. Mommy tastes good, so I lick her a lot!

Based on the ability of these animals to interact with me and use toys, I decided that they were the mythical children that I had heard stories of.  I would tell you their scienterrific name, but I’m just a little dog with no tail, so I don’t knows how to spell homo sapiens.

Anyway, mommy said I was right! So I’m a smart little scientific dog with no tail. They were interesting animals, but studying them wore me out.

I Gots a Daisy Card!

Daisy the Curly Cat gots her very own Hallmark Card. I asked my Mommy to look for it in the store and she found it! Here it is at a Walgreens in downtown Chicago.

Mommy brought it home to me and I was all excited. I let the Molly pose with it, but only because Mommy made me share. That is hard for little dogs with no tails.

Then I took it to my closet for safe keepings (which is rather empty ever since I got in trouble with the Molly bed in there, but I digress). I hide all important things away from Mommy and the Molly in my closet.

Mommy took the card back from me though. I don’t knows why. Something about little dog with no tail teeth. I made her play chase first before she could get it though.

The Corgi Legend (By Anne Biddlecombe)

I wants to know if there is also a Roomba Legend?

The Corgi Legend

Would you know where Corgis came from?
How they came to live by mortals?
Hearken to the ancient legend,
Hearken to the story-teller.

On the mountains of the Welsh-land
In its green and pleasant valleys,
Lived the peasant folk of old times,
Lived our fathers and grandfathers;
And they toiled and laboured greatly,
With their cattle and their ploughing,
That their women might have plenty.
And their children journeyed daily,
With the kine upon the mountain,
Seeing that they did not wander,
Did not come to any mischief,
While their fathers ploughed the valley
And their mothers made the cheeses.
‘Till one day they found two puppies
Found them playing in a hollow,
Playing like a pair of fox-cubs.
Burnished gold their coat and colour,
Shining like a piece of satin -
Short and straight and thick their forelegs
And their heads were like a fox’s.
But their eyes were kind and gentle;
Long of body were these dwarf dogs,
And without a tail behind them.

Now the children stayed all day there,
And they learned to love the dwarf-dogs,
Shared their bread and water with them,
Took them home with them at even.
Made a cosy basket for them,
Made them welcome in the kitchen,
Made them welcome in the homestead.

When the men came home at sunset
Saw them lying in the basket,
Heard the tale the children told them,
How they found them in the mountain,
Found them playing in the hollow -
They were filled with joy and wonder,
Said it was a fairy present,
Was a present from the wee folk,
For their father told a legend
How the fairies kept some dwarf dogs.
Called them Corgis - Fairy heelers;
Made them work the fairy cattle,
Made them pull the fairy coaches,
Made them steeds for fairy riders,
Made them fairy children’s playmates;
Kept them hidden in the mountains,
Kept them in the mountain’s shadow,
Lest the eye of mortal see one.

Now the Corgis grew and prospered,
And the fairies’ life was in them,
In the lightness of their movement,
In the quickness of their turning,
In their badness and their goodness.
And they learnt to work for mortals,
Learnt to love their mortal masters,
Learnt to work their master’s cattle,
Learnt to play with mortal children.

Now in every vale and hamlet,
In the valleys and the mountains,
From the little town of Tenby,
By the Port of Milford Haven,
To St. David’s Head and Fishguard,
In the valley of the Cleddau,
On the mountains of Preselly,
Lives the Pembrokeshire Welsh Corgi,
Lives the Corgi with his master.

Should you doubt this ancient story,
Laugh and scoff and call it nonsense,
Look and see the saddle markings
Where the fairy warriors rode them.
(As they ride them still at midnight,
On Midsummer’s Eve at midnight,
When we mortals all are sleeping.)

Identification Dog: Floppy Toy Identification #2

I likes to practice scientific identifications. But I’m just a little dog with no tail and I don’t know all the animal names yet. Do you know what animal my mystery floppy toy is?

My floppy  is all spotted and long and curly.

My floppy looks like a cat but it has only two legs

It also has beady eyes. My little dog with no tail observations notes that is a common theme among the floppy animal toys.

My floppy also has matted and sometime slimy furs, but it didn’t used to be that way. Do you knows what animal my floppy is?

Trapped!

Sometimes I gets trapped. Daddy trapped me here. So I took a naps until he let me out.

And I trapped myself here.

So I took a naps until Mommy helped me find my way out
