One of the sweetest things you’ve ever seen takes place moments after I arrive at the train station where my parents live in Sussex.
Winston and I get off the train, walk along the platform and through the exit barriers... and that’s when he remembers.
He starts pulling frantically on the leash towards my mum, my dad - sometimes both - who are standing outside of their car in the station car park.
He is SO excited. Honestly, you’ve never seen anything like it.
Or maybe you have. Maybe you’ve seen that kind of Corgi eagerness when they’re presented with cheese or someone/something they love.
Sometimes, when I know it’s safe and quiet, I’ll let Winston off the lead a few metres away from them…
And the way he RUNSSSSS into their arms!!!
🥹🥹🥹 it’s the best!
Snoot boops and bunny hops,
Winston & Bella x
Do you listen for the click?
Keep an ear out for those little clicks on the floor! If you hear them, it might be a sign your Corgi's nails are due for a trim. Longer nails can make their paws tilt uncomfortably, and a quick trim every few weeks keeps their skeleton aligned which is extra important for a long-backed dog like a Corgi. If you're on the look out for a great pair of nail clippers, I've summarised allthe best ones on themarket here.
Niles on the right at 72lbs
Niles at 59lbs
Thank yousomuch to Christina for sharing Niles's progress with us!
🥕An inspiring weight loss story
Niles is a three-year-old corgi who came to Christina at 72lbs (his previous owner — an older gentleman — had been seriously overfeeding him… including sharing his Taco Bell).
Christina adopted him in July 2025, and she's happy to report he’s now down to 59lbs and dropping!
Their vet suggested a simple approach: feed him based on his goal weight, not his current weight. So at 72lbs, they fed him the amount recommended for a 60lb dog. Once he dropped under 60lbs, they moved to the 50lb recommendation — helping him lose weightgradually, rather than trying to rush it.
A few practical things that have helped:
Theyweigh his food in gramsfor consistency
They’velimited treatsand started paying attention to calories
Niles getsextra stepsin when he joins Christina at her work (an outdoor shopping center) once a week
He also plays hard with his two-year-old corgi sister,Mochi, and is getting stronger as he goes.

That’s quite the journey.
And I was absolutely delighted when Leslie wrote back to let me know that she, Dylon and her new rescue, Mazelee, had received the package safely.
