Last weekend, I attended the So Cal Corgi Beach Day, solidifying October 29th, 2016 as one of the happiest days of my life. This was my first time experiencing all that the So Cal Corgi Nation has to offer, which is simply: gorgeous, adorable dogs in costumes. Huntington Dog Beach holds this event every fall and spring, so you can safely assume I will be back April 8th, 2017.

My friends who took me can attest that I said "Hi!" to every dog who walked by and kept calling them "buddies." So for your viewing pleasure, here are some of the best buddies I took photos of in all their glory.

1. Slippery When Wet Buddy

Some of the corgis wanted to get as far away from the water as possible. Others ran towards it again and again (and again).

2. Butt Buddies

There's something about Corgi butts that's so perfect. That's probably why at 2pm they held the "BEST MOMO (aka Corgi Butt)" contest.

3. The Buddy Gotham Deserves

4. The Face of Pure Joy Buddy

Look into the eyes over this over-excited buddy and tell me that doesn't fill your heart with happiness.

5. Shake It Like a Polaroid Buddy

6. Bend It Like Beckham Buddies

There was a love triangle and everything.

7. Golden Buddy

My friend in the background was missing her Golden back home, so needless to say, she was pretty stoked to see Goldens all over the beach.

8. Husky Buddies

I was missing my Siberian Husky back home, so imagine how happy I was when I met these two.

9. Fight On! Buddy

10. Bring in the Dancing Lobsters Buddy

11. Bumble Buddy

This is Scarlet. She is a sweet angel.

12. Life Alert Buddy

By the end of the day, everyone was tuckered out.

13. Until Next Time Buddy

I hate to see a corgi go, but I love to watch a corgi leave.
