I actually just finished knitting the final (yes, second, but still... I have an extraordinary sense of completion) sleeve of the sweater I knitted for my sister.
Now I just have to get it all put together and add on a collar, and it will actually be a sweater.
Go me!
In other news, I have this observation to present:
There are lots of documentaries on TV (well, on my TiVo, at any rate), about nature and wild animals and the like. And it's so clearly about survival of the fittest, evolution, and all that good stuff.
And based on watching lions and tigers and bears eat their lunch, I ask you this:
Where the fuck do Llasha Apsos come from?
Posted by Jon at October 6, 2003 06:14 AM | TrackBackBred for its infernal gaiety and practical dusting applications, the Lhasa Apso achieved worldwide acclaim with the advent of the Tibetan Yip Cannon. Although not a weapon, as the name implies, the Tibetan Yip Cannon launches a fiery Lhasa Apso payload up to 100 meters into the air where the wee pup explodes in a fanciful display of furry pyrotechnics. These devices enjoyed brief popularity in their Himalayan homeland, mostly for holiday festivities, but their popularity waned under unanimous condemnation from area Buddhists.
So to answer your question, the Lhasa Apso, like all little yappy dogs, were selectively bred by humans and would likely never have occurred naturally.
