Fun Fact Friday (a little bit late)

Oh the shame! One week into a new Friday feature, and I didn't get my act together ... thank you, Doc Smartypants for reminding me that people do in fact read this thing!

Okay, here it is, the random reference question of the week:

How many corgis does Queen Elizabeth have? Every time you see a picture of her she's surrounded by little dogs!

Yes, the Queen loves the corgi. Ever since her father, King George VI, gave her a corgi named Dookie, the Queen has always had at least one of the little Welsh dogs (and is credited with greatly increasing the breed's popularity). The dogs travel between palaces with the Queen, and she even feeds them herself (learn more).

The Queen currently owns five corgis: Emma, Linnet, Monty, Willow, and Holly; and four "dorgis" (a corgi/ daschund mix): Cider, Berry, Vulcan, and Candy (learn more).
