Another pain for Queen Elizabeth: one of her Dorgi puppies has died

A little over a month after death of Filippo of Edinburgh the Queen Elizabeth II is facing a new pain: the loss of Fergus, one of the two puppies of dorgi – a cross between a dachshund and a Welsh corgi – che her son Andrea had given her last February to distract her from court worries and her husband’s illness. “The queen is devastated”, a real source told the Sun. Her dogs were the only ones capable of cheering her up.

Despite her 95 years, the queen he took little Fergie, Muick, and old Candy for a walk in the park every day“We are all shocked, because this happens so soon after she lost her husband,” added the insider.

The queen over the years has had dozens of corgi and dorgi. For her they have always been more than just company and has always taken care of it personally, food included (one day beef, the next chicken, then again lamb, then rabbit and so alternately throughout the month).

In 2015 Her Majesty said she no longer wanted pets: he feared they would feel too lonely after his death. But when Andrea gave her the new puppies she couldn’t resist: she took them under her wing and gave them names full of meaning. Fergus was named after the uncle of the queen, Captain Fergus Bowes-Lyon who died in 1915, aged only 26, while leading an attack on the German lines at the Battle of Loos in France during the First World War. Muick instead takes its name from a pond near the Balmoral Castle, in Scotland, on whose banks the sovereign likes to take long walks even with children and grandchildren.

Now only two dogs remain in Windsor: little Muick and old Candy, last of Susan’s 30 descendants, the corgi that was donated and Elizabeth on her eighteenth birthday. On the other hand, as a source close to the royal family said long ago, “The queen without corgi would be like the Tower of London without crows”.
