Well, as is often the case, I'm a little late to the party. The big internet fad for the past few months has been Tickle.com's What dog breed are you?

Today I finally got around to taking the test. I of course, think I'm most like a Bouvier - smart, very independent, kind of cute, and very very stubborn. But tests like this never have Bouviers. So I decided I'd probably test out as a Border Collie.

Well, dream on. Not even close. You are reading the blog of a - are you ready for this?

A Pekingnese.

I think something is seriously wrong here.

I even took the test twice. On the second go around I kept all of my original answers, except for dream career. The first time, I had selected "detective". The second time, I selected "mountaineer". I still ended up as a Pekingese.

When was the last time you saw a Pekingese on a mountain?

Here's my "personality profile:"

Stephanie, you are Pekingese

No bones about it, you're a trendy, A-list Pekingese. Classy and fashionable, you love to be admired. Sure, that means you can be a bit high-maintenance at times, but you're worth it, right? You shine brightest in the company of other chic, well-groomed doggies like yourself - as long as they don't steal your thunder. Full of more gossip than Entertainment Tonight, you're always up on all the latest news. You're somewhat untouchable, a definite trend-setter, and can be a smidge intimidating. You're the Ivana (or Donald) Trump of dogs. Everyone (everyone who's anyone, that is) knows that. In a word, woof.

Peter would agree with the high maintenance characteristic.

Another great article in yesterday's paper on Anchorage doctor, William Mills - one of the world's foremost authorities on frostbite - always a hot (er, cold) Alaska topic.

As I've mentioned before, when I was growing up, Dr. Mills had legendary status among Anchorage School District eighth graders. All eighth graders were required, as a part of their health curiculum, to view Dr. Mills' frostbite movie.

The movie was originally produced for medical practioners. As a result, it pulled no punches for us wimpy eighth graders. The movie included matter of fact, in depth detailed views of frostbitten limbs, absolutely gruesome frostbite blisters, and the crowing achievement - a leg amputation from beginning to end. All of us lost our lunch.

The movie fulfilled its intended purpose - none of us have ever forgotten the ins and outs of frostbite. For example, never ever, never ever, thaw a frostbitten butt on a furnace.
