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.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water.
