A Corgi Smiled Beside a Window Full of Frost and a Wreath
On a woven rug in front of a frosty window, a tricolor Corgi sits with a bright, open-mouthed smile. Frost patterns spread across the glass like feathers, and a green wreath with a small red bow hangs from the window. Behind her, a trash can, a pile of papers and a heap of toys show that this corner is a busy part of the house.
Corgis are friendly, active herding dogs that were bred to move cattle. They have strong personalities and a lot of energy for their size. Because of their long backs and short legs, try to avoid letting them jump from high places and keep them at a healthy weight. A little exercise each day, such as a walk or a game of fetch, keeps them happy.
A window seat is great for a dog in winter, since it gives her a view of the outside world while staying warm. If you set up a perch like this, check that the area isn't too drafty, and make sure the window is secure. Keep decorations like wreaths out of chewing range, as some plants and decorations can upset a dog's stomach.
She looks happy to be indoors, with a front-row view of the frost. It's a lovely, quiet corner for a small dog to enjoy the season. A little frost on the glass makes the warmth inside feel even better.
