"Life is better with a dog" - Alice, I couldn't have said it better myself! Nancy and I wish Dexter could have joined us *years* earlier, but of course life's curve balls always got in the way. Neither of us owned a dog before Dexter, and he's been as patient with us as we've been with him.

And yeah, bypassing the puppy training reduces stress and expense for sure.

Keep us updated on whether King Pin will be joining the club!

Did you call and find out if he's still available? That would be so great if you could adopt him. I agree that he looks all Corgi and he sounds very sweet. Best part is, you won't have to go through all the puppy training.

I'm sure you can afford him. I know how you feel because my husband and I are in the same boat, possibly worse off as far as finances go since we were both laid off and had to take jobs that pay less, but you just make it work. We wanted to wait until we had a house and more money and what not but years kept passing and we finally said to hell with it, we're getting a dog. I'm glad we did. Life is better with a dog. You should check out United Pet Care. It's a pet health discount plan (not actual insurance). For Finn we pay $9 a month and as much as we've had to take Finn to the vet, it's been worth it.

Good luck, let us know what happens. :)

I'm so excited I could hardly sleep last night! We were planning on going to my parents' house this weekend anyway and it's a lot closer to where King Pin is! I really hope we can get him...

I just might... I showed my husband and he seemed very sure that he wants to get him and we can afford it. He said he'll be like an anniversary gift for us. I'll try calling today and I'll ask if he's still available. The soonest I can go see him is Sunday since that's my husband's first day off this week.

I agree, he looks like a purebred. And a handsome one at that! I don't see that he's on hold, and the comments say he "loves everyone and is a little love bug". So yeah, he's a Corgi. Make the call!

Oh, here's his petfinder page.

The shelter website also has some info on him. He's about 4. It also says he's on hold so maybe I'm too late.

I want him.. :(

He's up in Prescott, but I'm not sure if we can afford a dog yet. :( :( :( :( :(
It says he's a corgi mix but he looks like a purebred to me, just the stockier kind, which I like...

Thank you for your concern about Finn. He is not limping for the moment so that's a good sign. Our vet diagnosed him with hip dysplasia but we were told if his limping persists we will need to see a specialist to make sure nothing else is going on. He doesn't care though. Whatever the problem is, he still wants to run and play. :)

I agree with you on the nail clipping. I hate trying to do it myself so it's so worth it to pay for someone else to do it. Hope all goes well at Kirby's check up!

This is the first time I've been able to check in for several days & I am sad to read that Finn has a leg problem. What happened? Sound's like he is getting wonderful care and getting better. Kirby is going to the Vet later this week for an overall Senior check-up + of course...getting his nails clipped. $14.00 seems like a "deal" after all the ways I have tried. I surrender!!! LOL.

Hope everyone had a fun Halloween. Kirby LOVES to meet & greet people (what corgi doesn't?), but we had him with his bed and water in one of the bedrooms to avoid any little tot getting scared. He got lots of attention and toy fetching time...so a good time was had by all!

No one took any pictures at the meet up? :(
