A Red and White Corgi Puppy Met the Snow and Looked Delighted
Glancing off to the side with her mouth slightly open, a red and white puppy stands in the snow as the evening light falls. Her ears are tilted forward, her white chest is puffed out, and tiny paw prints trail behind her in the powder. A wooden fence and a glowing outdoor light add warmth to the cold, quiet yard.
Snow is a thrill for a young puppy, but short sessions are best. Corgis have a thick double coat, yet their short legs put their bellies close to the cold ground, so they may chill more quickly than a taller dog. Dry her paws and belly after play, and check between the toes for ice balls. Bring her inside if she shivers or lifts her paws.
Winter safety matters too. Salt and de-icing products can irritate paws and make a dog sick if licked, and antifreeze, which tastes sweet, is poisonous even in small amounts. Wipe paws after walks and store chemicals safely. Corgis are curious and brave, and many love the snow, but a puppy's vaccinations and warmth are priorities. Ask your vet what is right for her age.
For this little explorer, the snow is new, the air is crisp, and every step is an adventure. The cold air has not slowed her down one bit, and she keeps looking around for the next thing to sniff.
