      What if *Cornpop* was actually a good dude just trying to protect the kids from that super creepy lifeguard ?

    2. I found an article by the Independent that said Princess Anne is taking responsibility for planning for the future of the horses and that those decisions still haven’t been made.

    1. @Kelly Dalstok Never quite sure if they’re bots or just cellar dwellers.

      BTW, if that’s your tabby in your profile pic, they’re lovely. 🙂 Have a nice one.

  1. Having had two Pembroke Corgis myself I can tell you they are wonderful companions, very loving, loyal and full of entertaining mischief. They are emotionally sensitive too, so I am sure they will go through a mourning period after the loss of their beloved Mistress.

  2. That comic with the corgi was so clever. I hope that when she got to the other side, all her gorgis were there to greet her along with Prince Phillip, her mother, father and sister. I imagine her living in a castle with them all.

  3. One soldier who went and had tea with the queen recalled he had a PTSD moment and suddenly couldn’t speak, the queen, called over one of her dogs who jumped on his lap and helped him come out of it.

    1. Indeed, he was a surgeon who had been operating in a war zone. Her Majesty asked someone to bring some dog biscuits and the corgis, and they fed the dogs and it calmed him. So thoughtful and like a mother. Rest in peace our dear Queen.

  4. The queen stopped breeding corgis a number of years ago because she was aware she was getting old and thought it wasn’t fair that an owner die and leave her dogs behind. The corgis she had when she died where given to her at the start of Covid because Andrew thought they would make her smile and help alleviate lockdown. But it was agreed at that point that when she died he and fergie would have them back to look after.

    1. @Cathy New York I agree she was trafficked and Andrew should have asked the question but in the UK it was not child abuse and he was in the UK when it happened. Let’s not accuse him of something he isn’t when the real accusations are bad enough. He is not a jimmy saville or Gary glitter.

  5. Even though I’m American the Queen’s death still feels like such a loss. My entire life there’s always been a Queen, but now, all of the sudden, there isn’t. It makes me much sadder than I thought it would have.

    1. @Captain Win actually, I’m now not so confident in that 28 number. I see some sources that include the 15 commonwealth countries in that 43 total, and some that say it’s 43 if you count the entire Commonwealth excluding the UK as 1…sorry my job is in data analytics so it’s a bit of a reflex to try and validate information 🙂

    2. I would also like to say that I can acknowledge the complexity of the situation. Feelings on the far ends of the spectrum all have validity.

      On one end people feel sadness at the loss of a public figure that has been ever present for the better part of a century, and that feeling is valid. On the other end, people feel that an Imperial institution that has some horrible human rights violations in its past could stand to be brought down a peg or two or go away completely, and those feelings are also valid.

      Just because I’m expressing a sentiment on one end of that spectrum doesn’t mean that I think the feelings people have on the opposite end of that spectrum are invalid.

      Life and society are complex.

    3. ​@RED-Illuminati what’s the quote– “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt”!

      Clearly you need to read more history books and read and watch more unprejudiced articles about the Queen!

  6. I took my dog, an American staffie to my moms funeral. Whenever I would visit her accompanied by Peety, she would break out a box of treats she kept for him. When she had to move to an assisted living facility the high point of my visit was where’s Petey. Her neighbors and others in group activity would cease drawing or whatever and clamor for attention from Petey. He ate it up and tried to visit all gathered for a pet and a head scrusshie (rubbing, and ear scratching and holding). The activities director told me that when an older gentleman asked if he could pet Peety it was the first words she had heard out of him in seven weeks and that he had appeared to be going downhill and now asked every morning when Pete was coming. I worked for the municipal fire dept. at the time and began taking him to the station on days I had duty so I could go by the asst. living facility as soon as I was relieved. This way Pete soon got to know most of the 600 people on the Fire Dept. He affected a lot of lives. He passed 14 1/2 yrs. ago and I still tear up.

    1. We never truly get over their passing. It’s been seventeen years since I lost my beloved Gus and I still miss him. Sweet doggie, a chocolate Labrador that only lived for ten years. 😢

    2. AmStaffies are the BEST – although everyone thinks that about their doggos, I know 😊 I wouldn’t swap my AmStaffy or my English Staffy for anything in the whole world. I’m sure your Mom and Petey are having a grand old time together up there in Heaven

    3. What a tremendous story. Your dear Pete brought a lot of love to you, to your Mom and other residents where she lived, and to the fire station – helping each person he met to be free of anxiety and just feel calm and loved. Beautiful.

    1. Me too! I have a darling little mutt & his name is Lil Dolla Bill Spencer the 3rd & I saw that drawing , while holding little Bill, thought of her Majesty & her dogs & started bawling! 🥺

  7. The drawing of the corgi in memory hit my heart 💔
    They are with family, that they already know and love and spend much of their time with already so this is nice.

  8. We have a half Corgi, half Husky, named Churro. He’s incredibly intelligent, and communicates VERY effectively. He’s a nasty piece of work to dogs that earn his disapproval, but he’s also the most cuddly, and sucky dog I’ve ever known. Even though mine isn’t a purebread Corgi, I can certainly see why Elizabeth II loved hers.

  9. Her Majesty also had a Dorgi and a Spanial. During her last documentary she said that after her last old Corgi passed away that she would not have another dog but her children decided to get more dogs as she adores them. Not forgetting Her Majesty’s horses who will also surely miss her visits. She used to give them Polo mints.

  10. I am glad that they will be with her son and Sarah! They can appreciate and understand how much they meant to his mother!

  11. Not true several years ago, a few of her corgis got into a fight and as the queen was separating them/breaking it up, she was inadvertently bitten on the hand.

  12. I’ve been waiting for update on the queen’s corgis. Happy to know that some members of the family will take care of them . ❤❤❤
