^ ^ Yeah~ His name is Gizmo and we find him adorable !! I'm going to try to take pictures of him and Skippy~ Its harder to take a picture of the puppy since he constantly moves. xD

I don't think it's strange, there are people who own both corgis and other breeds and they post pics of both. We are watching my bf's mom's dog while she is on vacation, and she says the shelter told her it was a corgi mix. Same thing as yours though, I don't think it's a corgi. To me it looks more like a chihuahua/dachhund mix. Her ears usually stick straight up and she has a long body, but she's thin boned, not stocky and heavy looking like a corgi. She is adorable though :) I just love her.

Its a Chihuahua~ I believe its mixed due to the fact his eyes aren't huge and his limbs aren't as big as regular chihuahua puppies~ Perhaps mixed with a Dachshund or Beagle? We don't know for sure but i'm glad he's cuter than a regular one!! My ex found him underneath their car barking in the early morning. ^ ^;; And he claimed it to be a corgi mix but i was really doubting it. It has stubby legs but it doesn't look anything like a corgi. We wanted to take care of it either way since he couldn't so now its with us! I'll post pics~ Would it be odd to post pics of my dogs even though they aren't corgis? xD

Oh congrats Michi! What kind of puppy is it?

Well, Mary, that $8000 tax credit will come in handy. :) We're planning to save around $2000 of it, then spend the rest on a downpayment on a motorcycle then on stuff for the house.

That's awesome Abbea! Congrats on the new house! Now is a nice time to buy, we moved out to Surprise for work and we were able to find a great deal on a house as well. We're paying 100 dollars less a month than we were for the apartment. And now we love having a house! We have the same issue with our house, the front yard is gorgeous and landscaped, but the backyard is horrible. It's all dirt with rocks everywhere, and I just sprayed out most of the weeds. ha :). Again, congrats, very exciting!

My family got a new puppy! Not a Corgi, but if me and my sisters show that we're responsible with the puppy, i can buy my own corgi! Now to find corgi puppies in AZ!! xD

According to the almost incomprehensible lease agreement, we'll have to submit in writing that we want to cancel the lease along with a check (I think, maybe they can just take debit) equal to two months' rent (which would end up being about $1540). Then we have 60 days to vacate the apartment. I think the fee is in addition to the last two months rent we will already be paying, but it could be just like payment in advance. I'm really hoping for that. Coincidentally, our realtor once lived in the same apartment complex that we do now and he was able to negotiate so he could pay in $100 installments until it was payed off. Maybe that's an option we could ask about.

See, just one more reason not to move to Queen Creek. I really want to stay in the Scottsdale/Phoenix area if possible but I know it's a lot more expensive. Still, we're hoping to find just a small starter home for now. As long as it has a yard for Finnigan. :)

That's great Abbea! There really are a lot of great deals in the outlying areas. My brother is always trying to get us to move out to Queen Creek where he lives and says the new houses are really cheap but I'd hate to leave the area I've lived in all my life. How much do you have to pay to break your lease? I know our complex charges an arm and a leg.

Wow, I never thought it would be this soon. It may seem crazy to you guys but we just signed for a house yesterday. It's actually a brand new house in Buckeye (farther than we hoped), but it was such a great deal that even our realtor (who we trust) was jealous. It's about a 45 minute drive from my husband's work, maybe more with traffic, but I made sure he didn't mind before we signed. Anyway, the deal is no required down payment, no mortgage insurance payments needed (which normally you have to pay if you make a down payment less than 20%), a one year warranty for the whole house (meaning they will fix ANYTHING for free in that time), warranties for all included appliances (washer, dryer, dishwasher, refrigerator, range/oven), 25 years for the plumbing, and no fee to apply for the loan. My realtor negotiated to have them pay all closing costs and there is 6% to buy down the interest rate (still confused on this, but it's really good for having payed no down payment). Also we get to have our front yard's landscaping customized (right now it's bare), but we are responsible for the currently bare back yard. Oh yeah it's 4 bedrooms, 2 baths and $104,000. Wow this is all so sudden though! Now we have to cancel our lease. >_< At least now we can pay that without having to pay anything for the house right now..
