Smalldogarific: A Study of Small Dogs

I’ve got more than one membership to more than one club and I owe my life to the small dogs that I love

March 8th, 2007

Cold4thetreets sent me an article that has these photos of Weasel, the Border Terrier Cross that was born with no ears. Apparently, he actually has the ability to hear it’s just that he doesn’t have any ears or ear openings. Fascinating.

Moira wrote the Dog Lady explaining that, ever since the big snip, she has been unable to come to terms with her small dog Simon’s gender identity. He seems to be a little too “in touch with his feminine side.” Moira rebukes those who incorrectly call her Scottish Terrier a she. The Dog Lady responds, “Simon’s identity is part of your identity…You must admit private parts are difficult to discern at first glance on squat, hairy fellows - especially because we can’t sniff under the skirts the way the dogs can.” I am not sure I fully understand that last part there! Anyone?

Dear Moira:

Might I suggest you pick up something by Michel Foucault or Judith Butler?

All the best,
Smalldogarific
