I totally saw some lists like this from where I grew up ... like there are only 2 seasons in Wisconsin - winter and road construction, what's the official state bird? - the mosquito, etcetera. I have even convinced many people here in Texas that it's a state law in Wisconsin that every car must keep a set of jumper cables in the trunk (it's not the law, but it's a good idea.)
Anyway, back to the new purpose of this thread ... the Papillon [pronounced pa-pee-yawn] is my current favorite dog breed. The breed is named after the French word for "butterfly" because of the distinctive appearance of the facial coloring and the prominent ears, giving the head an overall butterfly appearance.
The Papillon is listed as one of the 10 most intelligent breeds of dog, they are notorious for bonding very tightly with their human owners and are one of the most allergy friendly breeds of dogs.
