This toy has probably not been played with in years; Bear found it within a few minutes and trotted all over the living room with it:
Here he is with his chewy bone. He enjoyed it until he made the mistake of bringing it to the bedroom onto Kyra's sleeping blanket. He laid it carefully down and when he came back to find it, it was gone. Guess who took it to her special hiding place and crunched it down to nothing? :)
This is who! She was so captivated by Bear yesterday when he first arrived. She has done nothing thus far but accept him happily. When she wants a break she goes upstairs. For now, that works...!
This is one of the portrait shots. He has such an engaging face. There are a ton of photos like this, in different places around the house and yard:
Another of the portrait series:
He's had another full day, but time for naps as needed. I think he's having a growth spurt today!

one of the things that is great about the digital age is that we can take loads and loads of pics of our youngsters (human or animal) growing up without needing to worry about the costs of film and getting it developed....
Love all the photos. Can it be possible he just keeps on getting cuter and more adorable. What an expressive face. Sorry he lost his toy to his big sister.
Oh! Oh! Oh! Adorable!
Claire, it's true. I well remember buying the film, sending it off for processing, and then dreading the total. That was before the discount photo services happened. Then it got less expensive. Then technology exploded and we're where we are today. It's pretty amazing.
Arlene, he is now trotting all over the house, and knows where all the important places are. It's such a hoot to hear the little "click click click click" across the wood floors - Kyra's are much louder, of course, so the mini ones are new.
Gale, we think so too! :)
Billie, he does have a definite ursine air about his small person - will his name remain "Bear"? Kyra and The Bear - could there be a book in there somewhere? The woman is having trouble functioning and keeps saying "ooooooooh the puppy, ooooooooo the puppy..." I fear for her remaining sanity. Is he a Pembroke Corgi and is that the same as a Welsh Corgi? My dog knowledge is limited but I'm always interested in the origins of things. I dispute Herself's notion that he is a cross between a powder puff and some thistledown.
Sheaffer, it appears that we are sticking with Bear - we seem to have abandoned all thoughts of a different name. I find myself calling him "the little bear" which I suspect will always be how I refer to him, no matter how big he gets!
He is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. They tend to be a bit smaller than the Cardigan Welsh Corgis, who also have tails.
He is very much like a powder puff. His tan coloring is starting to come in a little - in the end he will be a tri-color. I have a photo I'll put up later which might very well do The Woman in, so make sure you get your dinner first. :)
