A Corgi Walked In Carrying What Used to Be a Slipper

AI imagecorgicaught in the actslipper

Big ears, big eyes, and a chewed grey slipper dangling from his mouth. A sable Corgi stands in a sunlit living room with a look of total shock, as if somebody just asked a question that he was not ready to answer. The slipper is shredded at the toe, with strips of fabric hanging off in all directions. Behind him lies a pile of laundry, a plaid shirt, and a sofa draped with blankets, and the window throws warm light across the floor.

Corgis are smart, energetic herding dogs, and they are known for their short legs, fluffy bottoms, and big personalities. They were bred to herd cattle, so they like to keep busy and sometimes try to herd people and pets by nipping at heels. A bored Corgi may chew, and slippers are especially tempting because they smell like their person. Because of their long backs and short legs, it is wise to keep them at a healthy weight and avoid too much jumping from furniture, so ask your vet for guidance. Give him chew toys, puzzle feeders, and daily walks to burn energy. Pieces of slipper can be dangerous if swallowed, so call your vet if he eats any, and put slippers out of reach in a closet.

He is holding that slipper like a trophy that he is not sure he deserves. Whoever owns the pair has a bit of shopping ahead.
