Super Bowl Sunday seems like a good time to share about one of my all-time-favorite commercials.

I love it not so much for its humor or creativity but for the kind of dog that it features–corgis.

The commercial I am referring to aired several weeks ago and features Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers as a dog-walker with a bunch of corgis. When Jake from State Farm asks him “Why corgis?” Aaron replies: “Spirit animal.”

I am not a big enough fan of Aaron Rodgers to know if he actually has corgis. And I am not “new-agey” enough to ever call them my spirit animal.

But I am a big enough of a corgi-lover to know that they do make a wonderful companion.

One of the best ways I’ve heard them described is by a friend who works at an animal shelter. She is not a corgi owner herself. But as someone who has been around them and many other types of dogs, she says that they have a certain “corg-atude.”

Which in my experience is to say that they are a nice mix of fun, friendly, and feisty. They are small in stature but big in heart and toughness.

On our morning walk today, for example, Caleb’s response to the icy conditions and 10-below-zero cold was to roll on his back in it.

In this photo, he was playing some football just minutes after a morning walk when the air temperature was 20 below zero.

Aaron Rodgers’ “spirit animal” may not be getting any air time or playing time during today’s Super Bowl, but that will never stop them from having a good time regardless of the conditions!
