The Peanut Butter Jar Was Open, and the Corgi Was Not Sorry
The jar sits wide open on the floor, with a deep scoop gone from the top, and next to it sits a sable Corgi with a thick smear of peanut butter on the tip of her nose. Her big ears stand upright and her dark eyes gaze up in an innocent way. A tote bag, a basket of toys and a rumpled blanket fill the room behind her. The jar and the dog seem to have reached an understanding.
Corgis are cheerful, clever herding dogs with short legs and big personalities. They are also famously fond of food, and a Corgi's weight deserves watching because a long back and short legs do better without extra pounds. Peanut butter is a popular treat and is usually fine in small amounts, but it should be a plain kind. Some brands add xylitol, a sweetener that is dangerous to dogs, so always check the label before sharing, and call your vet right away if a dog eats any.
A little peanut butter smeared inside a hollow chew toy can keep a dog busy for a long time, which is a safer way to enjoy it. Keeping jars in a high cupboard prevents unplanned tastings.
The nose says it all, and she knows it. The whole picture is a reminder that a Corgi will always find the shortest path to a snack.
