We have two corgis- a 7 year old Pembroke named Finnegan, and a 14 year old Cardigan named Lester. I am a high school English teacher in Manokotak, Alaska. I taught for several years in Garland ISD, and had a lucrative acting career in the DFW area, but traded it in for a small Yup'ik salmon village on a mountain. It's am amazingly beautiful place. We love it! You can follow my blog at alycantrell.worpress.com.
