Would anyone be able to beta a Justified vid sometime in the next few days, depending on when I finish the first draft? I'm trying to finish this weekend, since the upcoming week is going to be pretty crazy busy, possibly the next few weeks, so I have a shorter turnaround than I usually ask. Ideally it would be someone who knows the show (this wouldn't be a good vid for someone without knowledge of the series) and knows my vidding style (not that I have a style, but I guess my general approach or something). I'm not looking for a super in-depth piece by piece dissection, but more of a second opinion about whether it's worth keeping or scrapping.

The rescue group contacted me about a corgi whose family had to give her up because of a back injury and she can no longer navigate their three-floor house. It's a foster to adopt situation. A full corgi is a bit more than I expected (since they are basically normal-sized dogs on short legs) size-wise, but I guess I will meet her this week and see. I'm kind of nervous. She needs a long period of crate rest, though, so she won't be active, but at least she has lived with kitties before, so that's good. I'm not going to get my hopes up, though.

I had a lovely dinner last night with killabeez and jarrow to celebrate trelkez's birthday, and had a chestnut puree panna cotta for dessert that was the nearest thing to heaven I think is on earth. It was divine. It's not a restaurant I'll ever have much opportunity to go to, and I am now sad, because I know that it is on the dessert list there, waiting to be eaten again.

Corgis are excellent dogs! Finding one on rescue is relatively rare, as I understand it, so I'd say you're very lucky. :) The thing to remember with Corgis is their breed history: they were bred as sheep-herding dogs, and most of them still live to herd. This can cause problems if they get the idea they're the leader of the pack, as they will be very bossy, but if you keep that under control from day one it can be managed.

It turns out she's only part corgi! ;-) They made it sound like she was a (yes, very rare) full breed, but honestly, she looks much more beagle to me. There are certain formations, like her length and neck, that are very corgi, and the coat seems to have that corgi undercoat, but she's very beagley looking in coloration and face, and her ears flop down. I was kind of hoping, but I guess I shouldn't have gotten so interested. She's sweet, though, and definitely has the back problems of a corgi.
