We all have that one animal that we are a tad obsessed with, whether it be elephants, pugs or sloths. I would say my true spirit animal would have to be a corgi.
This new love for this little dog all began about a year ago as I began to see more and more of these funny, furry four-legged pups all around, plus we have a lot in common.
1. Running is hard... for the both of us.

We all know that corgis have the tiniest legs in the world. This makes it incredibly hard for them to run super fast (although it is possibly the cutest, funniest thing to watch). I, like the corgi, try to avoid running at all costs. Walking is always a good option instead.
2. Afternoon naps are a must.
A day without a nap is a sad day indeed. The life of a corgi gets pretty rough, so sleeping is always on their daily agenda. Likewise, my cure all for a stressful school day is a good old two-hour snooze.
3. They look like a loaf of bread. I love bread.
Bread is a vital food group and the Corgi definitely agrees. You need corgi's in your life as much as you need a good piece of toast! They are always there for you.
4. They always want to make others happy.
Feeling a little down? Don't you worry, a corgi is always there with open arms for a hug. They never want to let down their owner or their fellow doggy friends. I can relate as I am the biggest people pleaser. Friends happy = corgi and me happy!
5. They love a good day adventure.

Did someone say adventure? Traveling and exploring new places is always on a corgi's agenda. They make good travel buddies and love to see beautiful outdoor spots. You can find me and my future corgi admiring all the breathtaking scenic spots in the next few years (fingers crossed).
6. They make for great listeners.
Having some pretty big ears makes corgis really good listeners. Want to vent your day to them? They won't mind. A corgi and I may not always have the greatest advice, but we are always there for our friends with open ears and hearts.
7. Always down for a movie/Netflix night.
Going out every night gets to be too much and the Corgi totally understands. I like the corgi am always down for a relaxing night involving a good rom com and a fuzzy blanket.
Here's to having a life like the best dog around. Also, a big shout out to all the corgis of Instagram that I follow. Y'all have helped my love of these cute puppies grow even more!
