The Etymology of a Breed

A quote from my husband, yesterday: "Corgi. Is that Welsh for fuzzy noodle?"

In Darwin's case, I think it is.



He certainly is a long thing. In fact, we joke that his front end and back end occupy different zip codes (or focal planes, as is the case in this photo). And some days this is true, as he seems to forget that his back end is there and is surprised when it doesn't quite go where he had planned it to go - but what can you do when you're built like a tube?

-Mel, Corgi-keeper

** And for the uninformed, corgi is actually welsh for 'dwarf dog.' But I think 'fuzzy noodle' is an apt descriptor as well.
