puffy lips

This is Jinks' look when I say "Wanna go outside?" It hasn't changed much. His vision isn't too good, he's moving slower, his breathing is labored at night- but say "Wanna go outside?" and this is what I get- ears up- bright eyes.



Outside today means whiteout. Did I mention it's cold- very cold?




You can see him getting just a little "puffy lipped" here- he does that when he's feeling especially fierce. I've seen him charge a backhoe with puffy lips and raised hackles barking up a storm. He also tried to challenge a young buck once (4 point). The deer tend to laugh at him but they eventually trot off which reinforces the image of the stalwart Corgi line of defense.




A cough developed yesterday, which is not a good sign. It's not too bad yet. He's obviously enjoying the daily walks and the extra rations. He's a stubborn little corgi.
