#### The Virgin Queen
Elizabeth's decision to remain unmarried earned her the title "The Virgin Queen." Despite numerous suitors and diplomatic pressures to marry, Elizabeth chose to retain her independence and avoid the complications of a foreign alliance. Her refusal to marry allowed her to maintain full control over her realm and avoid the potential influence of a husband.
Elizabeth's image as the Virgin Queen became a powerful symbol of her reign. She cultivated a persona of purity, strength, and divine favor, which was reinforced through portraits, poetry, and public appearances. This image helped to unify her subjects and solidify her authority as a ruler.

Dog Thirteen
Dog Thirteen June 4, 2023 Today was different. To be fair, all days are different now that I am a new dog. Every day I seem to be able to do something new- open my eyes, stand up, hobble around, wag my tail. Every day I get stronger and more comfortable in this body. It’s not bad, being a dog. Not so far, at least. I never have to go hungry, although we are feeding from our mother less and less and trying new foods that come out of a bag and a can. It’s a mixture. I wish I could tell the humans that I prefer the food from the can. I try to show them by picking out the kibble pieces and spitting them onto the ground, but they just laugh and think I am being cute. That feels frustrating, to not be understood. But I cannot stay mad for too long because the humans pick me up and pet my head and body and it makes me feel happy inside, and now that I know how to wag my tail, I try to do that a lot.
