Frank and Dottie Were Sharing One Ice Cream Cone. Then There Were Three.
One vanilla cone, four hands, and one very hopeful Corgi. Frank and Dottie sit close on the couch in their cream cable-knit sweaters, holding a single ice cream cone between them and laughing as they look down at Biscuit. The Corgi sits right at their knees with his nose pointed straight up at the scoop and his eyes locked on it with total focus, ears relaxed in polite longing. Nearby, a coffee table holds a mug of tea, a newspaper, a pair of glasses, and a remote, while a painting hangs above the couch and slippers sit by a basket on the floor.
Sharing an ice cream cone is a sweet moment for two people, but dogs should generally get their own treats. Many dogs don't digest dairy well, and the sugar and fat aren't good for them, especially breeds like Corgis that tend to gain weight easily. Extra pounds can put strain on a Corgi's long back and short legs, so it's wise to keep treats small and count them as part of the daily food. If you want to include your dog, look for frozen treats made specifically for dogs, or freeze a little plain yogurt or pureed pumpkin, after checking with your vet.
Biscuit isn't getting any of this cone, but he's certainly giving it his best effort. Frank and Dottie may just have to pull out a doggy treat to make up for it.
