Apparently coming off anaesthesia is really uncomfortable for dogs. Mine was absolutely miserable and whining for the entire night after he was under for a short operation and he's an idiot terrier so he'll basically only whine if he's in massive pain or feels incredibly bad.

Here's the dumb guy feeling much better

I like to think my gimmick is one of the less offensive ones.


There are words and phrases that are almost the same but lots of times they're mutually pretty unintelligible.

Something that is mutually intelligible is the word "corgi". From the word "cor" in Welsh, "kor" in Breton and "ci"in Welsh or "ki" in Breton meaning "dwarf dog" after some consonant mutations. I don't know here I read this but I read somewhere that the ancient Welsh believed that elves or something similar ("korriganed" in Breton which normally translates to elves in English) used to ride them into battle.



Call me skeptical.

Welsh has a habit of being fairly literal with naming things that are either similar to other things or just a particular breed, which probably helps with some stuff being mutually intelligible. Like our word for rat is 'llygoden mawr'. It translates as...big mouse. I have no idea what I'm meant to say when I encounter an actual mouse that happens to be large.

I just tried sounding out the phrase 'llygoden mawr' with my extremely limited knowledge of how welsh works and had the mind-blowing realisation that the welsh word for 'big' is almost identical to the irish one (mór)

I think it was fairies, not elves. Although I'm now totally imagining Orlando Bloom as Legolas riding a giant corgi into battle.

A word for word translation to Breton would be logodenn meur, although we just say "razh" for rat.

Capybaras are basically dog-sized guinea pigs (and also probably some of the chillest animals on the planet) so this seems fitting.

Get bashed, platonist!

Fact: Chinchillas are so fluffly that they can’t take regular baths. Their fur is so dense that if it gets wet it never dries out. Instead they take dust baths.

I love that the guinea pigs are initially scared of the giant but then 1 minute later there's half a dozen of them crammed around it like it was some guinea pig god
