Thinks the luddites had a point...
Yes, this. Although ours pairs the wiggling and thrashing with violent licking rather than squeaks.

Production of the micro turd (aka ‘the squidger’) at an inconvenient point in the walk/after you’ve managed to bin the main effort so you have to use another poo bag for the titchy 
and look for another bin.

With the corgi’s in general it’s the noise, both the amount of and volume of. Only those who’ve lived with a corgi can fully understand, I thought my rough collies were vocal. It’s in the fabric though, and anyone who says theirs isn’t noisy is either lying or has in fact been sent deaf and not yet realised it. Oh, and the fact their greediness translates into a heroin addiction level of consuming all faecal matter.
With the spitz it’s the beauty over brains. Lovely dog, sweet as they come, very handsome, the kindest dog we’ve had, but not very bright and with the attention span of about .04 of a second - so he’s rather like an impulsive toddler, all the time. His merits, and the fact mugabe loves him, outweigh most of his…quirks, but is a weird little chap. More like a cat.
More specifically…well, you’ve all had years of what it’s like living with the female mini mugabe. One day I’ll write her memoirs.

Just to lend some weight to the view of us paranoid folk who supervise their dogs in the garden - a bloke tried to enter our back garden today. He claimed to want to knock on the back door to enquire if we needed his... opportunistic property maintenance services, if you catch my drift, but there was no good reason for him to try this route for which both gate and door aren't visible from the road, there's a clear and accessible front door.

I had almost forgotten, but a bloke DID enter my back garden once!
Saw a flash of fluorescent yellow go past the kitchen window, and some person was on their way out - they’d come in down the back alley, reached through the 6ft gate, unbolted the gate, and walked across my garden, to look at the gas meter. I was absolutely furious that he hadn’t announced himself at the front door and asked permission to come onto my property, and told him as much.
Imagine if my dog had been unsupervised outside, and gotten out through the gate and ran off? Or had been as furious as I was, and injured the gas person? Or if there were children or any other loose animals around?
I went out and bought a very sturdy hasp lock for the top of the gate that same day, and have since twice had the same set of people try and get in through the back gate, without knocking at the front first.

OK so here's an equation for those who's brain can do the calculation:
X = poo; Y = size of poo, so perhaps you could say this is Y X 2 (or 3?? - squared or whatever?); Z = time it takes me to undo the blessed poo-bag and deal with the detritus...........
