The Corgi walk went well. The walk itself lasted almost two hours. We had 10 Corgis in total. Taffy, the Corgi pup that I had once looked after for a fortnight, was there and everyone - apart from his elderly owner - thought he was lovely and several of them were saying if Jack (the owner) doesn't want him, I'll take him. I took him for the walk itself because his owner couldn't go the distance. So the first thing I did was let him off his leash and he really had a wow of a time. The first chance he got he jumped into the stream - and made the other side but was too frightened to come back. He just sat his bottom in the water and held on to the far bank. So we I had to strip off some clothes to go to the rescue. He finally came half way across and kind of held onto a rock that was almost fully immersed. So I started wading out but didn't have to haul him in because he did iit all himself. He's somewhat overweight which doesn't help a Corgi in their swimming. However, for the rest of the trip he found plenty of good spots for safer swims. All the 10 Corgis (all Pems) got on real well together - not one fight or argument or growl even. Plenty of plays and rough and tumble though both Taffy and Taylor ( who are entire) got a little amorous a couple of times with spayed females. The waterfall we visited was trully spectactular and none of the Corgis dared go under it. Only two of the 10 Corgis didn't want to venture in the stream for a swim - yep, Taylor was one of them. Taffy and Taylor get on so well together and they actually look much alike though Taylor has a longer body and Taffy has a good front. I gave Taylor a biscuit and Taffy grabbed it and ate half and another of the Corgis grabbed most of the other half, yet no one squabbled over it.
