It’s 11:15PM. Time to post a corgi.

by Meg on January 18, 2008

This corgi asked for the 11:15PM time slot. I could not say no.

11 Leah B. 01.18.08 at 9:01 am

Cute little Corgi, but can I borrow that cat I just found a mouse in my house. It’s freaking huge thank god I am a girl Cause I freaking screamed like one!

12 Hon Glad 01.18.08 at 9:04 am

What a sweet smile, I think we have a new pup Ambassador in the making.

13 Mia 01.18.08 at 9:12 am

aww little baby corgi keeled over and fell asleep. he’s ASKING to have air blown against his belly.

14 Sarah 01.18.08 at 10:46 am

Based on photos I think small dogs experience levels of happiness we cannot even perceive.
Kind of like how they can hear higher-pitched sounds.

15 newflorida 01.18.08 at 10:51 am

How cute!

folks, below is a true story that will make your blood boil.

If you buy a chair or a car, as the years progress they keep depreciating in value. At one point, they will not be worth much.

How about a dog or a pet? As odd as it sounds this is what happened in a case that I followed in Florida(Read about the case on checkyourpet.com)

The story began when a couple boarded their ten year old pug at a kennel in 2004. When they returned to pickup their pug,they found out that their pug was killed by another dog. They filed a lawsuit against the kennel. They soon discovered that under Florida law a pet is considered personal property, like for example a chair or a car.

As a result, while the kennel’s lawyers admitted that their client was negligent, their argument was that the pug was not worth much since he was very old. The jury apparently agreed with the kennel’s position because they gave the pet owners $488. Now the pet owners are facing with the possibility of owning the kennel nearly $100,000 in legal fees.

Now, The question is how do you protect pets in a kennel? What kind of legislation that must be passed to reduce the mistreatment of animals at kennels or by a pet sitters?

Since Florida does not seem to have these protections in place, I wonder whether they exist in other states.

16 MaliceAlice 01.18.08 at 11:03 am

gah gah gah! Tiny legs! tiny legs! Look at them! LOOOOOK! The ears! The face! The tongue! Oh dear me, I’m all in a tizzy. Usually not a Corg fan but sweet cuppin’ cakes, what’s a girl to do!?

17 CedarTiger 01.18.08 at 11:06 am

newflorida: Board my dogs out? NEVER. Never, EVER. Just as if I had kids, I would never place them in day-care. I’ve heard too many horror stories to make me ultra-paranoid.

Adorable Corgi pup! I wish I could cuddle him about now!

18 hey-h 01.18.08 at 11:18 am

Ah, well – how could you say no to a Corgi like that?

Ohh…

The second picture — it makes me swoon in response!

21 Meredith 01.18.08 at 12:06 pm

Aw, is he wearing a bell? How cute!

22 Meaghan 01.18.08 at 12:10 pm

His paw pads are such a pale pink — I’m not used to that in dogs. Every dog whose paw pads I’ve examined, has had brown or black or darker pink pads.

23 Karo 01.18.08 at 12:28 pm

Ha! I missed the kitty altogether at first, and was like, interspecies…wawawaaah? I just woke up and already feel like flumping down like the corgi.

24 rachel cullen 01.18.08 at 12:44 pm

hahahah. i DEFINITELY burst out in laughter as soon as i viewed that first picture.

fa-dorableeeeee

25 Miya 01.18.08 at 12:46 pm

little willy too. : )

27 Michele 01.18.08 at 1:05 pm

Stubby legs and jelly bean feets. How could you not squee in delight???

28 Anon. 01.18.08 at 1:08 pm

I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts.. deedleedee… there they are a standing in a row…

I think The Lion King is on TV in the background there.

He’s all raaar with his stubby little paws.
How freakin’ cute!

29 Nicolletta 01.18.08 at 1:13 pm

Love his little feets. So cute!

30 BB/VA 01.18.08 at 1:24 pm

Sometimes a bell is a good idea on a pup. We had a little terrier who walked very softly and almost got stepped on when we didn’t hear him behind us. We got him a bell – problem solved! Once his claws grew long enough to click, he didn’t need the bell any more.

31 blair 01.18.08 at 2:08 pm

i believe this redonk corglet may be the intern and protegé for the ambassador of pupsville, nyerthink?

32 Hans 01.18.08 at 2:13 pm

Süüüüüüüüüüüüüß!!!

33 holy cuteness 01.18.08 at 2:13 pm

Awww, I love corgi’s!

34 Rosie 01.18.08 at 2:14 pm

Aww, look at his little pee pee!!

35 Babs 01.18.08 at 2:18 pm

Laws, what a cutie-patootie. These folks must be independently wealthy and not need to work, cuz how could you leave a house containing such an anerable pup?

36 bookmonstercats 01.18.08 at 2:21 pm

Anon, I wondered what the background was. I thought at first he had a wierd little hat on. Dohhh!

37 Melinda 01.18.08 at 2:25 pm

Look at his little winkie! It haz da fuzzies on it! So cute!

38 brinnann 01.18.08 at 2:26 pm

I thought it was a hat, too! It wasn’t until I looked at it a couple of times that I realized it was a lion.

39 weensicka 01.18.08 at 2:30 pm

Yahhhh, succulent Corgulence. Eet has been too long! Nawm, nawm, naaawwm… [chomps giant Corgi ears] Mmmmm…tastes like caramel cotton candy. Delish.

40 TurboFloof 01.18.08 at 2:41 pm

Kitteh in the background has little black jellybean pawpads. anghhhhh

41 Carrie 01.18.08 at 2:44 pm

I do not look at doggie winkies! weirdo!

awwwwwwwwwwwww it is fuzzy!!

That’s one happy happy puppulence!

42 Pat 01.18.08 at 2:46 pm

First picture he is like “OK It is time for you weird 2 leggers to worship me” Second pictures is “Ok I am tired now, please go about your business. My faitful companion, Mr. Cat will let you knw when it is time to worship me again”

43 Alex(andria) 01.18.08 at 2:49 pm

Newflorida: I can’t answer your question as to if NY has laws protecting pets in kennels, but I highly doubt it. My husband and I were asked to pet sit for a friend when we got back from vacation. They were already gone, so we had to pick their puppy up at the kennel. When we got there, he was terrified and COVERED in his own filth. And when I asked why, they said, oh, he’s just messy. I know the dog and its owners and he’s not a “messy” dog. Needless to say, my husband and I NEVER use a kennel for our dogs. 99% of the time we drive wherever we go so that they can go too, and if they can’t they stay with close friends.

And this corgi….so smiley and fuzzy and I want to snorgle him :)

44 Clare 01.18.08 at 2:56 pm

Wot, no hovertext?

The :D makes up for it!

45 bucky 01.18.08 at 2:58 pm

that was my head exploding from the Corgi Overload.

The lack of leg-length! The lack of leg-length!

*Splort*

47 Ann 01.18.08 at 3:06 pm

WANT PUPPY!

Seriously, I totally want a corgi. THAT ONE. LOOK AT THAT FACE!!!!!

The man says I can’t— he says they’re mutants. WHAT?! They’re short like me!! PFFT!

48 jen 01.18.08 at 3:13 pm

i love corgi’s proportions. mini legulence with big nogginness.

cute moomoo kitty too!

49 anner 01.18.08 at 3:17 pm

gaaagh! he certainly possesses a high coefficient of corgitude!

reminds me of Taffy, the corgi pup we got back in 1980 when i was five. these people are in for years of joyful companionship.

50 Claire 01.18.08 at 3:28 pm

Hello–Please don’t think I’m nuffing, ’cause I’m not. I feel terrible for anybody who has ever had a bad boarding experience–terrifying! My corgi pup is at day care for the first time today. He’s 7 months old. The place is squeaky clean, specializes in small dogs, references checked out, has Web cams. He usually spends the day snoozing under my work-from-home desk, we’re testing out day care as an option for when I have to go to meetings. CORGIS RULE! And my pup still sleeps legs straight out like that. Anerable x a gagillion

51 Gryph 01.18.08 at 3:39 pm

SO CUTE SO CUTE SO CUTE SO CUTE SO CUTE SO CUTE SO CUTE!
I NEED HEEM!

I HAVE PUPPY FEVER!

52 Laurie 01.18.08 at 3:40 pm

There are a couple of corgi dogs at the park where I walk my Papillion Daisy- I always squee at how cute they are and their dads tell me “you should have seen them as puppies”. Now I know how right they are!! Too Cute!!

53 liz 01.18.08 at 3:54 pm

that is the most adorable puppy! I want a Corgi! they stay looking like a puppy their whole lives! so cute.
hmm- i wonder what you would get if you crossed a Corgi and Pomeranian. [gets out slide rule and protractor, pushes geek-glasses up nose]

54 Tk 01.18.08 at 3:55 pm

This is so cute that I squee’ed out loud, and then had to bury my face in my hands. He should totally be the new intern at Pupsbasador University.

Any pictures where puppies are smaller than cats gets me right in the soft squishy part of my brain where “if an every day object makes you look tiny, it is cute” intersects with interspecies snorgling.

55 jess e. 01.18.08 at 4:02 pm

OMG the cuteness just killed me, I’m dead I’m dead I’m dead. I LOVE YOU CORGI!!!

56 catloveschanel 01.18.08 at 4:49 pm

I can’t believe someone else says “Honk-Shoe”. My brother & I used to yell that really loud when my parents asked if we were asleep. Haven’t thought of that for many years. * Senile sigh *

57 serfer0 01.18.08 at 4:51 pm

look at his little corgi wee-wee!

58 serfer0 01.18.08 at 4:52 pm

yes! nina simone singing “i loves you, corgi!”

59 bev 01.18.08 at 4:56 pm

What I find amusing is that in the first pic, I’m all like: “Oh, it’s distorted because of the camera angle and that’s what makes his head looks so huge.” and in the second pic I’m all like: “Never mind…”

60 zeldapie 01.18.08 at 5:04 pm

My ex always said that my love of dogs is inversely proportionate to the length of their legs. The shorter the legs, the more I love ‘em. (Not sure this is true, but OMG, I LOVE me some Corgi and Basset Hound and Pugs and French Bulldogs….!!). This lil fella is so cute I could Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

61 Claire 01.18.08 at 5:16 pm

Noes, serfer, noes looking at dat! (covers eyes)

62 metsakins 01.18.08 at 5:21 pm

I boarded my cats once and it was fine. Of course, before boarding them I stopped in a the kennel unannounced and inspected. Btw this kennel kept all dogs separate, a little house with a fence enclosed run for each pup. All animals were kept separate unless they came from the same home. They interacted with kennel staff, never other pets in the kennel.

63 metsakins 01.18.08 at 5:26 pm

Now as far as pups going down in value, humans do too.

2 cases to share -

Friend of mine’s mother in law was mistreated at a nursing home, lawyer said being she was going to die soon anyway there wasn’t much of a case.

Hubby had a hernia surgery go horribly wrong and nearly died. But hubby is retired, didn’t end up with any permanent damage (except a really large scar.) Told by lawyers, it didn’t matter that he spent months recovering and was in horrible pain and scarred for his life and nearly died. He was retired and was collecting his pension while all that happened so what was he going to sue about?

64 metsakins 01.18.08 at 5:27 pm

okay venting done…

SQueee!!!!

OMG a puppy smaller than a cat sleeping together!!!!111

and I think he could certainly be an assistant to the pupbassador. Perhaps his replacement for when he retires!!!

65 berthaslave 01.18.08 at 5:47 pm

Keepin’ it positive…

I loves you, Corgi!

(Not looking at dog’s junk).

67 Mika's Mommy 01.18.08 at 6:07 pm

I am the little one’s momma! His name is Mika and he’s 9 weeks old. The kitty is Adolf Kitler (see ’stache).

I about peed myself when I saw his giant cute face on the front page!!!

To answer a few questions: In the first picture he’s about two weeks older than he is in the second picture perhaps that’s why his head is much bigger in the first.

Also on the T.V. his dad and I were watching Mystery Science Theater 3000: Gorgo. I think they were at a zoo and that’s a lion or something.

The bell is so we don’t step on him and also so we can find him when he gets out of sight.

You can see more pictures of Mika at the following link:

68 Andréa 01.18.08 at 6:29 pm

Oh, too precious! He’s smiling in the first picture!!! And then he’s sleep!! With small legs!

69 liz 01.18.08 at 6:42 pm

Meg! are you sleepin in today?

73 Kat 01.18.08 at 7:24 pm

aww. I too have a fondness for shortlegged doggies. And the ‘bull dog walk’ my beagle does it.

I was looking for a bull dog doing it but i found this instead! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUD5ghvWmLM&feature=related

I pet sat a momma corgi with her 9 newborn-ish puppies (ouch, 9 puppies!) once while their owner was at the barn. So much stubby legged love!

74 Kiragirl 01.18.08 at 7:29 pm

why do our lil schweeties love our dirty unidies so much?

78 Lily 01.18.08 at 8:06 pm

Oh, good grief! You don’t just spring something like this on a person. I need time to prepare. I could have duct taped my head to keep it from exploding, or at least had some paper towels handy.

79 serfer0 01.18.08 at 8:07 pm

oops!
“undies”

80 debg 01.18.08 at 8:33 pm

The wee-wee was so wee, I almost couldn’t find it. Don’t tell Mika, Mika’s mom–I don’t want him to be self-conscious.

Honk shoo…my dad would to that to get me and my sister, and later his grandchildren, to go to sleep. Don’t know why it worked but it did!

Anerable pup!!!

84 eikoleigh 01.18.08 at 9:41 pm

85 Megan 01.18.08 at 10:09 pm

Corgis are my favorite little puppies, I get so excited whenever one gets posted :D As soon as I have my own house, I;m gonna get baby corgi and a kitten and they’ll be best friends

86 berthaslave 01.18.08 at 10:51 pm

Corgi, kitteh, AND MST3K?

I think Liz and I are going to conduct a commando raid.

Weak in the knees CUTENESS.

I’m ready to eat him up completely!

I’m not a big dog fan, but this image neeeearly killed me with cuteness.

Aaaaaaaaw!!1

89 Nanette 01.19.08 at 1:16 am

Look at how the cat has his paw on the puppies head while they’re sleeping, like, “It’s ok, I’m here little friend.” Awww! So cute! As for the whole kennel thing, I will never take my dog to one ever. I’ll ask a good friend to live in my house and take care of my animals if I need to.

90 A 01.19.08 at 2:10 am

Wee little pink puppy paws…….and the little belly welly!!!

91 LadyMeerkat 01.19.08 at 3:18 am

Have you ever seen a brighter, happier puppeh smile? I think not!

92 Emily 01.19.08 at 4:03 am

What a cute puppy! Corgis are one of my favorite types of dogs. (Jack Russell terriers being the other!)

So sweet!

93 Rob 01.19.08 at 4:30 am

man i would give that corgi any time slot it wanted!

94 Jmper 01.19.08 at 4:38 am

I cannot remember who mentioned it in another topic, but I clearly see another pup with eyes that do not point in the same direction. Was there not mention of this as a new…oh my whats the word?…um…um….shoot I hate it when my brain farts…is topic the word Im looking for CATEGORIES!!! That was the word I was looking for. Thank you for staying with me through the melt down of my brain.

95 jenjen 01.19.08 at 4:51 am

96 nakey 01.19.08 at 4:59 am

Ohhhhhhhh! I have been wanting a corgi puppy for months now, but the hubby has to rein in my enthusiasm. You just caused all kinds of trubs for my husband!

97 Mary Animal Woman 01.19.08 at 6:04 am

Hi Mika’s Mommy! I have corgi’s too. Love the video of the little guy singing. Nothing cuter than a corgi pup. DON’T FORGET TO TELL EVERYBODY how much they SHED!!! You can’t believe how one dog can shed so much, but it’s worth it to me!

98 gloomygrrl 01.19.08 at 8:49 am

Is it wrong that I just kissed my computer screen? Too snugly for words!

99 bookmonstercats 01.19.08 at 9:19 am

Mets and others who’ve had bad experiences with care institutions… Unfortunately, the price the law puts on damage (to people) is related to the economic damage ie inability to work. It’s difficult to put a price on actual pain and suffering, mainly because there’s a subjective element to pain and suffering, I suppose, and that’s difficult to measure. It’s not right, but there IS a difference between justice and the law. The law is what it is and justice is really what we carry in our hearts. I’m afraid I don’t have an answer, only an observation to make. I do hope all the peeps who suffered are mending, and at least they have somebody who loves them enough to care.

100 slythwolf 01.19.08 at 10:06 am

That’s it. I urgently require a corgi. This instant.

101 Katrina 01.19.08 at 12:36 pm

Our Corgala, Abbey is wonderful. However, please note: they are excellent watch dogs, which is a way of saying that they are a one-family dog. They are a big dog in a small body. Ours sheds like a- a- big thing that sheds a lot. No kittehs or bunnehs or anybody else in our house- Our Corgela is on duty 24-7. Sh has already attacked two dogs, going for their throats. She gets quite po-ed when I come home with the scent of another dogget. AND I need to tell you the reason we have her- her breeder was cruel to her, yes, her breeder, pushed her into the show ring- scared the life out of her, she came to us a broken and fearful dog-hence the fear-barking and the being afraid of anything white or plastic. So, treat these dogs with respect and they will be wonderful, treat them badly as puppehs, and you get a neurotic mess that took years to sort out. She still has panic attacks in the car. She needs to be with me at all times,and of course, I am here for her, too. Just some words to the now-wiser.

102 Redbone 01.19.08 at 6:38 pm

I love corgies. The little one here is no exception. I hear they’re quite bright, too.

103 jolene 01.19.08 at 7:45 pm

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

I want a little corgi now!

104 catablob 01.19.08 at 8:22 pm

Some kennels are excellent, and run by people who genuinely love the animals they care for. My sister boards her dog at a place where the dogs get special parties, along with all sorts of silly dog oriented amusement. But like anything important you need to choose very carefully. And of course even then there’s no guarantee. But some kennels really are great.

105 CheshireCat 01.19.08 at 9:56 pm

Awwww,such a sweet bebeh!

106 angelstar 01.20.08 at 7:01 am

adorable ear and paw combo!

107 Subhangi 01.20.08 at 7:05 am

SQUEEEEEEEE!!! SMILING CORGI BEHBEH! SOMEONE KILL ME NOW!!!

108 Edward 01.20.08 at 8:08 pm

Corgis are hands down, the cutest doggies in the world! And to see heem sleepins wif a kitteh, even better!

109 Sharon Wilson 01.20.08 at 10:15 pm

I hear you about the kennels! We picked up our kitteh from a kennel after our vacation and he was covered in fleas!

110 A 01.20.08 at 11:16 pm
