The waterfall at the end of the hike!

Look At This Resilient Dog of the Day: A Welsh Corgi named Ole, who managed to survive the avalanche that killed one of his owners, surprised his family by showing up four days later at their motel room in Cooke City, Montana.
“I just saw it outside sitting by the room, which is pretty amazing,” said avalanche specialist Mark Staples.
Dave Gaillard of Bozeman was killed after being buried by an avalanche southeast of town in Hayden Creek. His wife Kerry managed to escape by clinging to a tree.
“His last words to me were, ‘Retreat to the trees.’ I think he saw what was coming from above, that I did not see. That reflects Dave’s amazing quality — thinking of others,” she told the Bozeman Daily Chronicle.
Ole was believed to have been buried under the snow as well, but must have tunneled his way out. Still, the trek back to Cooke City was likely treacherous, with temperatures below freezing, and deep snow that would be taxing for the dog’s short legs.
“How in the world he made it, I don’t know,” said Kay Whittle, the wife of a local businessman who returned the pup to his family. “If he could just talk — who knows what he did from the day of the avalanche until today?”

In addition to the f*ckyeahshepdog tumblr, I do believe we need a f*ckyeahmountaineeringcorgs tumblr too. This is Al. He’s a hardcore adventure corgi and somehow related to Pudge. (I think. Dog pedigrees are complicated.)
Corgis. They can do anything you can do but stumpier.
I am smitten with the nation’s first Ham in Chief, Sutter Brown. I am so amused by the idea that there is a corgi celebrity. He’s representing his fellow sausages, one nation, under dog. And Sutter happens to be one plugged in corgi! He’s got a facebook page AND a twitter!
I am dying to know who is the human behind Sutter Brown’s facebook page. I am fairly confident that the @SutterBrown is not the same person. The facebook page is updated pretty regularly with new photos and adorable status updates. Whoever is on the other side of the leash has exclusive access to Sutter and has a very distinct corgi induced sense of humor.
I don’t think it’s Sutter’s buddy and newly appointed CSU Board of Trustee, Steve Glazer (though he does tweet some cute candid Sutter pics too). Can it be the First Lady? Is she the one behind this adorable corgi induced silliness??
Whoever it is, please don’t stop. Sutter’s facebook page is the best thing since nearly empty jars of peanut butter. He’s doing an outstanding job representing his fellow corgis.
Totally nutter for Sutter,

A mighty noble corgi.
Kipling does road trips with us like a pro. He goes to Vienna, Budapest, Salzburg… with us frequently. Here are just some of his favourite sleeping poses in the car (taken on our way back from the gorgeous neuschwanstein castle). It almost always starts with this pose: propped up on the front panel of the car so he can still see what’s going on outside.
I will be the first to admit it — I just might be jealous of the life this corgi leads.
