Dog Breeds and the Confusion That Entails
Recently I got bored at work and thought it would be fun to put together a spreadsheet about something dear to me, dogs. I thought it would be a small task. Just copy paste all the dog breads from one site and link them in a spreadsheet as a way to learn more about them with relative ease.
I have been working on this spreadsheet for four days now and I have learned it is not as easy as previously thought. Every website I visited had a different list of "complete" dog breeds. I have cross filed at least four websites worth of dog data and am still finding breeds that others haven't listed. It is a tricky thing deciding which breed is different enough from which to deserve being called a different thing. I am now planning on just compiling the list more until I either got one or two websites in a row that don't add any new breeds to my current list or I give up out of frustration. It would be one thing if I could just copy and paste a straight up list of just dogs names, but almost every websites lists come with some information and a picture that I then copy paste and edit down in order to cross check the list I currently have.
Then after that I am planning on looking into each dog breed, even if it is just surface level research, and see if it goes by other names that I might already have in my list and basic information like that. I also want to collect links for all of the dog breeds so later when I am not burnt out on this project I can look into them more fully.
Today I weighed: 209 lbs
Yesterday I ate:
> A small bowl of pumkin spice Cheerios
> Half a plate of tater tots
> A peanut butter and Jelly bagel
> A bowl of Ramen
> A peanut butter and honey sandwich
Yesterday I drank: 82 oz water
We didn't do much yesterday, and not in the good we had a relaxing day way. More in a we feel bad about not leaving the house at all way, not even to go to the gym that we really should have. So yesterday wasn't great and today has started with unwanted and weird irritation that I don't know where it came from. But that just means we have to make today and the rest of the week better.
Stay Cool.
