Pet Archaeology

I recall that the dig had been going poorly for us that summer. Our team had excavated a large area of the Kalamari desert with nothing to show for our efforts save for a pair of hamsters and a budgerigar. Then one day two of the interns burst into my tent with breathless news: Toebeans! After many hours of careful digging and brushing away of dirt, there was our prize: A perfectly preserved corgi.

      Thanks, Allein. That’s precisely where my mind went.

        Had to be done. (Though Kalimari Desert is apparently a Mario Kart thing, for what it’s worth.)

    Mike and all the clever commenters, you guys are killing me today!!!!!! Mike you are just on a roll, what was in your coffee this morning??? This one and the previous one, I sat and laughed (silently of course as I’m supposed to be “working”) before I even managed to scroll down and see the picture. Picture and story go together perfectly.

    Yes Mike, once again you’ve made my day!
    But I have to say that I am not sure the corgi was perfectly preserved…it seems that the tip of one ear may have been lost 😁.
