Marek… Have you considered the wisdom of having Pixel wear a PFD?

For anyone interested in Pixel’s odd, blue-grey coloring, yes, you’re right, he’s supposed to be a normal black, brown and white tricolor. His steel grey and fawn colors are the result of a fading gene that washes out these colors and also, I think, contributes to his non-brown eyes. Corgis with this coloring are showable, but they will end up last in their classes. We like it, though, and think Pixel is mighty handsome. I have wondered if this gene has anything to do with his fine bone structure as well — if there’s some relation. Pixel is much smaller and more fine boned than other corgis I’ve seen. He is fully grown now and at his current athletic weight tops out at about 19 pounds. My vets have told me that his weight is just right and Marek and I work hard to keep him fit and trim and exercised.

To my friends, Marek & Pixel -
You both look fabulous! Really great pics too, Marek – so glad I get to see you two out there on the water. I am jealous!
Lots of hugs, Caryl

Hey Marek! These pictures are fabulous — what a cutie (and the dog isn’t bad, either)!
