One of the *big* long-term things I'm looking forward to is getting my own place with a backyard and getting a few dogs. I've been trying to figure out what type of dog I would get - at first I was sold on the King Charles Cocker Spaniel:

After reading about it, it seemed like it was a really fragile-type dog, so then I thought maybe I'd get a beagle:

CuteOverload posted some pictures of an Italian greyhound (not to be confused with normal greyhounds - this breed, at a max, weighs 15 lbs, so it's a small dog; technically a toy dog!):

But now, I think I really like Pembroke Welsh Corgis:

Part of this is influenced by me watching Cowboy Bebop; this influence has gone far enough that I'm even thinking that "Ein" might be a great name for my Welsh Corgi as well! I like things in even numbers, so maybe I'll get two and name the the other one Feyn (pronounced "FINE") after Richard Feynman, since Bebop named Ein after Einstein!

But the ultimate dream is to get a house in the north somewhere and get a few Siberian Huskies. Those dogs are simply majestic.
