Since taking over Corgi Friday last December, I have done my best to do the feature justice. It has become painfully clear, however, that this was a fool’s errand. Don’t get me wrong, I love pictures of the stubby-legged, enthusiastic little furballs as much as the next guy. They are delightful. But I really don’t know if anyone loves dogs as much as Matt. (Perverts excluded, obviously mostly.)
Case in point: The above clip, Matt’s first assignment as a member of SB Nation’s new video team. In it, he attends the Westminster Dog Show with one simple goal: pet all the dogs. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen anyone happier. It’s a joy to watch, and yet another reminder that I am only this feature’s step-dad.

Greatest Assignment EBAR!!! MATT!!!
Be sure to subscribe to that YouTube channel. My next assignment is a Heavy Petting Challenge.
I’m in.
Matt is living the dream.
Side note, my daughters friend’s parents have a 15 year old Corgi that I met for the first time last weekend. He came right up to me and let me pet him. It’s a moment I’ll never forget.
unfortunately, he already has.
Yep, he’s found his calling.
I miss our daddy. Why did mommy have to make him go away?
Matt sure stuck his face in the faces of a lot of dogs that he didn’t know at all. I learned here that that is a no-no. Or is that just when we’re defending dogs bred to bite your face off?

Two 12-hour days at Westminter led to 7 hours of footage for a three-minute video. You may be surprised to learn that the parts where I said, “May I pet your dog?” got cut from the final product.
The dogs at that show are all super trained and used to strangers touching them so in that one particular situation its fine.
Random dogs not so much.
I’m sure you also cut the parts where the people then asked to you move along when it became painfully clear you would never stop petting the dog.
Couldn’t you get some shared custody agreement? Momma Uproxx won’t mind if we see Papa Ufford once a week… and every other holiday….
So jealous.
Matts flying too close to the sun with that much petting, next is puppy withdrawal
Oh and you wore your fancy rose shirt you wore to some other event you blogged about on KSK once!!!
Dude, where do you get those shirts?
The Hipster Blogger Cowboy Shirt Emporium, next to Internet Western Wear in the Cowboy Shirt District.
Three blocks away from the Hammock District.
Same place Ava from Justified gets hers.

But you’re the cool step dad that buys us beer, not the creepy one that wants to bang my girlfriend.
This is one of the only jobs where you can spend all day petting and kissing hot bitches and come home to your wife guilt free (mostly).
I feel like Jeff Winger and Danger’s Abed shoving this week-old video up its own ass. Let me guess Mr. Guerrero…you thoroughly enjoyed the time you should have been spending coming up with an original corgi Friday. You evil, handsome son of a bitch.
Hey now. Don’t you dare hate on this.
Matt is a legend.
One step closer to being the Puppy Bowl referee…
Matt, you are my hero! I would settle for an internship just getting B roll. Next up, How to get press pass to WMDS (without currently being employed by a news outlet
So now we know how SBNation pried Matt away from Warming Glow. The devious bastards offered to send him to the Westminster Dog Show.
OMG MATT I LOVE YOU MARRY ME AND I’LL BE THE MOTHER OF YOUR DOGS
