Because I do. I love dogs, always have, but I have never come across such a happy and cheerful breed such as the Corgi.   Most all vets/doctors/anyone who studies dogs will say that dogs aren't capable of smiling (or so I have read and heard; someone please correct me if I am wrong), but there is something about this breed that makes me feel otherwise. Maybe it's because I love my little (actually BIG) Maple so much and I am hopeful :). 

For those of you who agree, please reply and…

As per the vet...I prefer to use the term "big boned". She went in for an update on her vaccines and during her physical, we were informed that she is 37 lbs...which is apparently 10 lbs too much...you can't feel her ribs, she has no waist, etc..Ouch! Needless to say, when I left there I felt like a bad mom. So now Maple is on a strict diet, going on brisk walks and is only allowed 1 treat per day. Basically, she has been enrolled in doggy boot camp! So I am just wondering, for any of you…
