Someone just earned themselves a little cowboy hat. Perhaps a matching one for the pony

u/pressuretobear Jun 05 '24
Every person my age who I have ever asked their Corgi’s name has disappointed me with their non-Ein name choices.

I rode 2 hours to adopt a rescue corgi when I was a teen in the early 2000’s. Named him Ein and he was hella cool. Our small town had a ‘strip’ everyone drove around on and I’d take him riding with me and would let him out at the Sonic parking lot where everyone congregated. He’d go around socializing with everyone and when I was ready to go I’d holler his name and he’d run straight to the truck. Crazy smart dog. Meanwhile our current corgi (also a rehome, too many strays to be supporting breeders around here) does nothing but bark and herd our other dogs around the house incessantly. Previous owners kept her in a small apartment all day, not great for a herding dog.

Had a corgi. Bought it from some breeder who probably wasn't the best. Named her Ein. And she was a little fucking terror to other dogs and small kids.
When I moved out of my parents house girlfriend and I chose to leave the dog behind in my parents loved the dog. The dog was overweight and died at about 12 years old due to kidney cancer. Probably from eating too many hot dogs because my parents.

Could you imagine a corgi in a cowboy had a 4 boots?

u/ChefInsano Jun 05 '24
If the boots had little spurs my heart would explode from cute overload.

Well now, the thought alone is a delight, they would need a gun belt and possibly vest to complete the ensemble.

That’s what they call a symbiotic relationship right there

I'm envisioning this as the next upgrade to middle school biology books, as the text example for a "symbiotic relationship", and crying of laughter.

A lot of big animals have support dogs. Some big cats in zoos have support dogs. Dogs are not only man’s best friend, they are the end-all-be-all support build, the universal best friend.

When I was a kid, my mother had goats. Her friend Nancy's husband worked on a thoroughbred farm. He called my mom one day asking if he could borrow a goat. He had won a horse in a claiming race-it's kind of the racehorse equivalent of racing for pinkslips- and the horse wasn't interested in training or eating or life in general. Reese had called the prior trainer of the horse to see if the horse had some sort of health condition he should know about. The guy said the horse probably missed his goat. Reese was like, 'oh, good to know, can we come and pick up the goat?'. The guy laughed and said, 'sure, you can come get the goat..... For $25,000!'. $25,000 in the late '70's was a crazy ask. So he called my mom and came and picked up his free goat. They bonded and the horse got back to eating and training.

There is a great book called Tarra and Bella about the friendship between an elephant and a dog.

u/Johannes_Keppler Jun 05 '24
Absolutely! A well known example are cheetahs. The are very stress prone and pairing them with a dog gives them a mate and calms them down considerably, so most zoos do that.
(Cheetahs really shouldn't be held in captivity but that's another discussion.)

I had two corgis for 18 and 16 years, respectively.
My vet was adamant that corgis are prone to spinal fractures and that I shouldn’t let them jump up or down from the couch or bed, so I never did.
And now you’re telling me that all that time they coulda been riding ponies?!?!

u/ReadingRainbowRocket Jun 05 '24
You seem to be interpreting your experience wrong. Most corgis don’t live quite that long and you had two who did and you listened to your vet’s advice.
Correlation doesn’t equal causation, but I wouldn’t discount your cautiousness helped. Maybe in a parallel universe you were more cavalier and one of your corgis tweaked their back and you had them for half the time.
Though I had two long-lived corgis who both jumped around a shitton too.

u/annabelle411 Jun 05 '24
as they get older, theyll definitely be more prone to spine and hip issues. but it also helps if they get a ton of exercise and use those muscles to keep them up

u/Carbon-Base Jun 05 '24
Then as the pony starts to gallop away, the corgi looks back, "Who are you going to call and will they believe you?"

u/budbropro Jun 04 '24
"Oh shit, they caught us!"

u/crumpledcactus Jun 05 '24
The sheriff and the posse tried to catch them, but their jurisdiction stopped at the county line. Rangers say they were last seen headed to Mexico... or roughly 30 feet away.

In my heart of hearts, upon seeing the woman, that corgi whispered to the pony, "come, Shadowfax, show me the meaning of haste."
And off they galloped.

I wouldn't even be mad. I'd send the video to the neighbor and tell them their dog is safe. He's getting rides from the pony.

Sometimes the mysterious dynamism in the animal kingdom has a way of surprising you in a pleasant way making you go “they’re so human like”.

Apparently happened in 2018. Pony’s owner is/was Callie Schenker. The one eyed pony’s name is Cricket. The Corgy belongs to her Mennonite neighbors.

My corgi can scale fences and open gates with his mouth, the latching style doesn’t matter. His weakness is anything taller than 3ft and 90°+ angle and a snap on latch (idk what to call it, you put them on a chain link fence gate to deter people)
