Yesterday, we took Mac to the 12th Annual Southern California Corgi Picnic. It's a chance for Corgi owners and their dogs to get together while fund raising for Corgiaid, a Corgi rescue organization.

I'm not sure how many Corgis came but there were at least a few dozen. Owners of nearly 70 Corgis sent their RSVP to attend.

It was held at Johnny Carson Park in Burbank, California, across the street from NBC studios. Though the location is a regular park as opposed to an enclosed dog park, there was Corgi Coral - a temporary circular enclosure 20-30 feet across that Corgis could roam in freely.

It was a potluck picnic with a lot of food available for human companions to feast on. There was a table of silent auction items that were Corgi-themed or dog-related. There was agility equipment available for Corgis to discover or show off their skills. Other activities included Corgis bobbing for hot dog pieces and the Corgi version of musical chairs.

And of course, it was great meeting other Corgis and their human companions. One Corgi that stood out to me was a cute little puppy named JiBi.
