Five Fun Facts About Corgis

Corgis - those cute little dogs with the stubby legs and perky ears. There are two distinct breeds of Corgis: the Pembroke Welsh Corgi and the Cardigan Welsh Corgi. Pembroke Welsh Corgis are the cutest of the two breeds, so this article will be all about them. They are likely one of the most adorable dog breeds to ever exist, and they're pretty cool too. Here are some fascinating facts about these little bundles of fluff.


They are the preferred transportation of fairies and elves.

This fact is the one that confirms that this is a dog breed that I must have some day. According to Welsh legends, Corgis are enchanted dogs, and Fairies and Elves ride them into battle.

Corgi means dwarf dog in Welsh.

They either got this name because of their stocky figure or their excellent mining skills.


Corgis used to be used as herding dogs.

They don't resemble sheep dogs or other herding dogs used today, but their short stature makes them the perfect height for biting the ankles of cows and other cattle, thus herding them in the right direction.


The Mega Corgi Monument in England is a major tourist attraction.

Haters will say it's Photoshop.


Cabbages are their mortal enemies.


Overall, Corgis are shining, golden snowflakes that will enhance your life and bring you great joy. They have proven themselves to be an exceptional dog breed. Smart, cute and loving - they are a great choice if you want to adopt a dog into your family.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
