As an ardent fan an admirer of the Pug breed, this was a bit distressing. And funny.

The Pug was, apparently, fine. Head on over to Jill’s blog for the full deal.

It dovetails nicely with school, as we spent a bit of this week and last talking about animal adaptation and geography. A Pug is a wonderful example of an animal which is in no way suited to anything. They are however exceedingly friendly (an interesting nuture v. nature question) and not at all a yippy “football” type critter. Their only real disadvantage, besides prodigious shedding, is their severe aerobic handicap. Not the dog to take trail running.

I’m sleepy this morning because the aforementioned documentary ran two hours, and was thoroughly fascinating for the duration. School material for certain.

Back to work……
