Sandra,
Glad you enjoyed the story. Lergnoms do not get a lot of respect at all. I believe that contributes to the abuse they receive. Sure people are just plain mean to animals. However, we tend to place a greater premium on ‘brands’ and ‘pedigrees’…even in human beings. Sad…

Best wishes!

What a fun article. I smiled the whole way through reading. Loved the play on words for lergnom, it truly gives mongrel the respect it deserves.
Peace
