Flippin' and Floppin'

Hello! My name is Pancake and I am a pembroke welsh corgi born on June 3rd, 2013. Im a big fan of ear scritches, pretending to be a bunny rabbit, and being cuddly. Look for me on twitter and instagram: @pancakethecorgi

Today is National Pancake Day! Hope you all got a chance to eat some pancakes. We got to hang out with one, I guess every day is National Pancake Day for us! Haha

How much does Pancake weigh? Linus is 5 days younger (born 6/8/13) so I am curious how he is doing size-wise with other corgis his age. Just found your tumblr today thanks to corgiaddict. Thanks!

At his last weigh in, last week, he was at 15 lbs exactly. I have no clue as to if that is anywhere near normal for a male corgi of his age, he is my first one, and the vet doesnt seem to be too worried. I will say that at one point I could fit him in the palm of my hand and now he is definitely a two hand pickup for any yip yips (elevator service into the car or on the couch). I am a little concerned because he seems kinda small at the dog park in comparison to other dogs and he is going in to get his man beads removed at the end of the month... I dont know how much bigger he is going to get! Might be a little bit on the smaller side...

Today marks Pancake turning 5 months! He seemed to really enjoy his handmade party hat (not really) but he was very excited to celebrate with this empty jar of peanut butter.

Pancake takes his role as the The Great Pumpcorg very serious...haha! Happy Halloween y'all!

 Pancake got a little shoutout from @SweetSilverfoto on their recent blog post about Barktoberfest which of course is totally awesome. Really glad that his corgness got a chance to win some people over and make a fluffy impression. If you all are in the area and looking for a photographer then this is the artist you need! Check out their other work, I feel like they utilize the camera exceptionally well and capture the essence of these pets!

Thanks so much for the shoutout!

I think I have found my new favorite pancake photo to make a meme out of...

This has been quite a weekend bundled with awesomeness. Today, Pancake (and ourselves) got to go to a real life pumpkin patch...it was a first for everyone in the car!

I was a little hesitant at first but....He loved it..a little too much as you can see above. In between his digging in the gardens and rolling in dirt I was able to get some photos of him. From there we figured we would stop by a more commercialized pumpkin patch near the house just because we were having too much fun watching him investigate the pumpkins. He LOVES them which is also hilarious. If they are really small and he can fit them in his mouth he is all about chomping away but the larger ones he seems to let chill as he sniffs. The most aggressive thing we saw him do towards the larger pumpkins was to try and bunny hop over them...which was hilarious to see!

I always wonder what people think when they see him out in a public place where dogs don't frequent as much. There is a general surprise and since he is so goofy they tend to not really care, which is astounding. I guess I had a fearful moment of anticipating "Hey you meddlesome kids! Get that mangey pooch outta here!". He usually does a good job sitting, looking at them, and tempting them with his cute little drumsticks to bait them for kisses. 

Ive had him officially for two months and some change and I can clearly see why people are so crazy about corgi's. The number of people that freak out when they see him (in a good way) is substantial. They scream something to the likes of "OMG ITS A CORGI IVE NEVER SEEN ONE IN REAL LIFE BEFORE!" which Im assuming is because of how popular they are on the internet/ Buzzfeed. He definitely makes everyday things so much better and honestly more fun. Today I could have just been pumpkin picking but instead we were on an adventure to find a new orange plump friend to bring into our pack. Anytime he gave me a struggle during this journey it was because he wanted to stop and inspect a pumpkin or sniff the flowers...this corgi loves him some flowers.

Today we went to Nashville Paws Barktoberfest 2013 event this year. All kinds of great vendors and cool people to come talk about their dogs or work towards providing for animals in need. We saw about 5 corgi brethren out, strutting their fluff butt stuff as well which was awesome! Pancake got to hang out with is good pug friend Yogi and meet a Great Dane or two!

Pancake, myself, and my partner went as Russell, Mr. Frederickson, and Kevin (in that order) from the movie UP for the costume contest and…..WON FIRST PLACE! What a great day!!

Went in the pet store to get him more food. Not only did I come out with more food but also came out with this sweet cowboy costume!

Photos part 2, camera set:

The corgis present were Charlie and Louie (older tri-colors), Connor (the lighter sable), Baxter (the red with big ears), and Edith (the only female of the group almost 4 month old tri-color), and Pancake of course!

It was great to see him interact with others of his own breed as well as to see what it was like to be an older corgi. You can tell that the older the get the more laid back they are and less running around they do. Pancake also didnt discriminate against being around other dogs at the park, playing with everyone from the larger labs to the fluffy pomeranian. 

It was also great to just be outside and enjoy the autumn weather. This time of the year is my personal favorite so I can see ourselves spending as many days as possible at the dog park. I couldnt help but see other dogs running around and observe their owners interactions with their dogs and people. One person let their dog run around and mount up on other peoples dogs (inlcuding Pancake...dont learn that trick Pancake!) which was a little annoying. I guess you try to raise your fur kid to the best of your ability, and while you dont have much control over how they act in public, you definitely can control how you react and respond. Life lessons and reminders at the dog park!

What a great day!

Photos from the meetup part 2, camera:

Pancakes first day at the dog park and it being the Corgi Meetup made it so much sweeter. He was very social at times but was also having some rest periods to recharge the batteries, go for a sniff, and explore this new wonderous land. More photos to come!
