The guilt trip! DUNDUNDUN

I'm sure most of you know how skilled corgis are at guilt trips... it's like it's built into them from the start lol.

This morning I got the mother load of guilt trips.

Charlie has been doing really good off leash in the front yard. So after our walks I let him off the leash to run around with Roxi while I slowly walk back to our door.

There is a dog on the other side of the lawn that isn't friendly at all and I rarely see it out. So this morning I was surprised to see it. Knowing that it wasn't friendly at all (I've seen it attack other dogs :( ) I called the pups over... thankfully Charlie didn't notice yet.

The moment Charlie came over I hooked his leash back on... and the soulful pitiful look started which lasted for the whole morning I was getting ready for work!

I only put the leash back on up there if he's being bad and not coming back.. so it was the "but... I was being good!" kind of look.

I had a huffing, puppy eyed boy as I left lol.

Anyone else get this?

Oh yea. I only work weekends, so if I'm up early and taking a shower, Seanna knows I'm leaving for the day. She'll lay in the bathroom door, head on her front stubbins, ears at half mast with the most sad, pitiful look in her big brown eyes....

I get guilt trips all the time. when we leave the dog park Cody usually pauses half way to the car and then looks back and then back to me and gives me puppy eyes. I also get guilt tripped at food time since he is dieting.

Oh, yes, Edison gives us the Great Big Puppy Eyes when we exit the house. It's absolutely heartbreaking to shut the door on that sad little face.

However, my favorite instance of Corgi Guilt Trips is from an article about Queen Elizabeth: "If they see her in a headscarf, they yap and jump about with excitement, whereas if she's sporting a tiara, they slump down miserably onto the antique carpet."
