Frank and Dottie Bundled Up to Shovel Snow. Biscuit Had a Better Idea.

AI imagecorgisnow daywinter chores

A fresh snowfall has blanketed the driveway, the hedges, and the front yard, and Frank and Dottie are out with their shovels. Frank wears a knit beanie, a puffy gray vest over a Nordic patterned sweater, and gloves, while Dottie is bundled in a green parka with a matching patterned sweater underneath. Both are laughing as they push the snow aside, because Biscuit has turned their chore into a playground. The Corgi bounds through the snowbank right beside the shovels, snowflakes clinging to his fluffy red coat, nose low and mouth open as he plows through the powder with pure joy.

Corgis often love snow, thanks to their dense double coat, but their short legs mean deep drifts can quickly reach their bellies. Watch for signs that your dog is getting too cold, such as shivering, lifting paws, or slowing down, and head inside for a warm-up. Snow and ice can pack between the toes, so check and wipe paws after play, along with any de-icing salt, which can irritate the pads. For the humans, shoveling is strenuous work, especially for older adults, so take frequent breaks, push rather than lift heavy loads, and talk to a doctor about whether it's a good idea.

Frank and Dottie may need extra time to clear the driveway, but they're clearly enjoying the help. Snow days are more fun when one of the team has four legs.
