One of these cuties is going to be mine in about a month, they are 5 weeks old and very friendly according to the breeder. I am trying to arrange a visit before pick up so I can see them in action. They are Pembroke Welsh Corgi's. Mr Bankerchick had one when he was younger but I think it was a Cardigan Corgi mix. He loved that dog and he is already in love with these. He wants to take them all, however, Bankerchick is saying no! Oh.......I want them all too!
Monday night our manager took us to dinner for our quarterly celebration and I actually learned something. One of our younger supervisors asked us older ones if we knew what 420 was? We all shook our heads no and they told us. I had to learn more so per Wikipedia's definition: It is widely accepted that in 1971, a group of teenagers at San Rafael High School in San Rafael, California, calling themselves "The Waldos", used to meet every day after school at 4:20 p.m. to smoke marijuana at the Louis Pasteur statue. The term became part of their group's salute, "420 Louis,"and it eventually caught on more widely. Many cannabis users continue to observe 4:20 as a time to smoke communally. By extension April 20 ("4/20" in U.S. dating shorthand) has evolved into a counterculture holiday, where people gather to celebrate and consume cannabis.  |

Well, the picture caught my eye anyway. I read the article if only to see how much money we taxpayers contributed to this startling information the AP thought we needed to know. It turned out to be a little more than a big duh! Dogs have the largest variation in body size of any land animal, so researchers led by Elaine A. Ostrander of the National Human Genome Research Institute decided to look into the reasons why.
K. Gordon Lark of the University of Utah, a co-author of the report, pointed out that dogs have 200 to 300 diseases in common with people, including high blood pressure, autoimmune diseases and cancer.
Known as a regulatory sequence, the difference is on dog chromosome 15 next to a previously known gene named IGF1, for insulin-like growth factor 1. The hormone controlled by the IGF1 gene helps mammals — including people — grow from birth to adolescence.
In small dog breeds a mutation in the sequence next to the gene kept them from growing larger, the researchers said.

us in line.
