A not-overly-tall neighbor was walking their new dog, a "buggle" - the pup had the smush-face, and the curly tail of the pug, but otherwise was built like a broader version of a beagle. I told her the dog was cute, and that not to apologize for her being "short and stout" - I said, "Some of us are just more stable than others." She was delighted by the term, as she herself is maybe 5 feet tall, and her husband is at least 6 foot two, she said "Yes! We're stable, baby! No danger of US toppling over in a high wind!"

Josie is a lovely girl, even with the terribly unflattering photos.
