这是我见过长的最有特点的狗（且看此狗如何傲娇）

It all began last October, when the 2-year-old corgi, named Meya, decided to help herself to some seasonal decorations her mom, Alexandra Gleber, had set out at home.

去年10月，一只名为梅亚，两岁大的小狗决定擅自食用她妈妈Gleber在家布置的节令装饰品。

"We had pumpkin for Halloween, and she devoured almost the entire thing," Gleber said. "I didn't think she'd actually eat it. I was very nervous at first, but then I found out it was OK for dogs to eat them."

Gleber说：“我们之前的万圣节南瓜被她吞食几乎殆尽。起初我感到非常紧张，想着她并没有真的吃下南瓜。不过之后我发现狗吃南瓜也没啥。”

But she wan't expecting what happened next.

但是，接下来发生的出乎她的意料。

"I live in Southern California, and we'd been in a drought. But in January and February, it rained a ton, and then this pumpkin plant suddenly sprouted like crazy!" said Gleber. "I can't grow anything, but of course when Meya plants something, it grows like crazy. She gave it some good fertilizer, I guess!"

Gleber说，“我生活在加州南部，长期干旱缺水。但在一月和二月，却降水很多，接着是南瓜种子突然飞快发芽生长！我自己养不活任何东西，然而梅亚种下的（南瓜种子）确幸发疯似地生长。我猜是她给种子施了些好的肥料。”

Meya, clearly, is pleased with her work.

很明显，梅亚对自己的工作表现感到满意。

"She's so short and stubby, it's a like a jungle to her. It is nice to have some green back there," Gleber said. "It's even flowering now, so we'll probably be having pumpkin pie in a couple months."

Gleber说，“她那么矮胖，这对她来讲就像是丛林。后院里有些绿色植物，会令人很愉悦。它现在甚至都开花了。因此，很可能再过几个月，我们就可以吃上南瓜馅饼了。”

In other words, Meya's long scheme to get a second helping appears to be paying off.

换言之，梅亚贪食的长远计谋带来了好结果，似乎很成功。
