Ha Ha! Actually, Ziggy was my dog. We had two terriers, Tristan and Siegfried (Ziggy for short). They were named after the two brothers from James Herriot's novel All Creatures Great and Small. When I joined CF, Tristan was already in doggie heaven and I chose the nickname Ziggy thinking of that old New Yorker cartoon, "on the internet, nobody knows you're a dog."

Is there a backstory to your nickname?

the name

Yes, I was born in Poland. What prompted you to ask this question?

Hi Ziggy,

Are you Polish?

Ziggy
