Meet the original Dr. Burk, our dad, on this canine-centered episode! Dr. Craig Burk, veterinarian for over 40 years, helps us understand the differences between Cardiganshire Welsh Corgis and Pembroke Welsh Corgis, discusses Kennel Clubs, and reminds us to always bring water for our pups on hot days. 

Also, Chelsea solves a corgi-as-fairy-steed mystery and Holly teaches us about best practices when introducing your corgi to its fairy saddle.
