Cardi feature of the day: weatherproof coats

Blizzard conditions started here a few hours ago, and are scheduled to last through noon tomorrow. 

This makes it a perfect time to talk about the weatherproof nature of the  Cardigan Welsh Corgi coat.  As the AKC breed standard states, the Cardigan coat:  "Lies relatively smooth and is weather resistant."


After a mere 10 minutes outside, Ziggy was thankful for this feature:

What is this thing lurking by the back door?

Should we let it in?

It's me, mom:  Ziggy!  

Thank you for letting me in - it's snowy out there.

Maybe I'll just go in my crate.

Do I have to come out to be dried off?

Ok.  Just don't put me back out into the snow.

P.S.:  In case you're wondering, Rip was outside for the same amount of time, but came back in with almost no snow on him.  The advantage of perpetual motion.
