If they actually swallowed much of the plastic I would think it would be bad for them but I've heard stories of amazing things wending through a dog's digestive system only to emerge in a day or so.

ooops. j/k all corgis are smart. but, i always avoid toys with squeakers because I think they could be dangerous.

Are the sqeakies dangerous if swallowed by a dumb Corgi?

I had never thought of the danger of a squeaky on one's person accidentally discharging.  Those things have no safety catch.  It's only a matter of time before someone gets hurt or killed.  It's probably already happened -- a gruesome mauling blamed on bears, wild animals, or psycho killers -- or missing persons (there might be nothing left).  As we speak, teams of hapless homicide detectives may be working overtime hunting nonexistent serial killers whose erstwhile victims were done in by something as innocently treacherous as a squeaky shoe.

I'll do a search of the tabloid literature.

John, as far as I know the fur never stop coming off no matter how much I brush.  I just pick a stopping point and say "Enough for now" before I get carpal tunnel tennis elbow Corgi brushing wrist.

That's all the fur that comes off him, even with a furminator?

Is something wrong?  Nutritional problem?  Maybe he needs fish oil or omega-3 fatty acids or extra protein?  Did they check his thyroid (I've heard that thyroid insufficiency can cause shedding problems)?

Gosh, I hope he's OK.

Happy Birthday, Gromit!

He looks beautiful in his birthday portraits.

The picture of your pants cracked me up!  People are always asking me about our Corgis and most want to know if they shed much!  I tell them if they have to ask about shedding they don't want a Corgi!

Thanks John.  Just don't hide a squeaky in those polar fleece pants.  You could roll over in your sleep and things could turn ugly with Al & Gwynnie as they go after it.

Happy birthday Gromit.  Very nice pics, Doug, esp. the hapless hedgie caught between two ravening corgwyn.

I am inspired.  I'm gonna post a photo of what I look like in my polar fleece pants and jacket after spending a night in a sleeping bag with a corgi.
