I just wanted to put this picture in a blog because I think it is so cute. I've seen plenty of corgis stick their legs out behind, but never so that the toes are touching!

I have discovered that a local pet store in Portland (Planet Dog) does something called Puppy Romper Room for an hour a day on Saturday and Sunday. This is really great because I was kind of at a loss for ideas on how to socialize Penny.
