There is a set of two corgis for adoption in Austin, if anyone knows anyone.

Both the dogs initially came from breeders but Fanny, the Cardigan, was a rescue from a military family where the husband had died in Afghanistan and the wife had too much on her plate with a baby and another on the way. The owner of them now, cannot find the papers for either dog because she never in a million years thought she'd have to give them up. I believe they are both spayed and neutered but I'll confirm that for you. They are housebroken but have never been to obedience school.

Fanny is the lover of the two. She loves being around people and having her belly rubbed. She can be protective if she feels that those she loves are being threatened. She's outgoing and gentle. She's seven. When her housemate corgi, Walter, died, she was very upset and lost energy until Rufus showed up. It took her a while to warm up, but they now love each other and play together often.

Rufus, the Pemmie, is two. He's got a quirky personality and is very sensitive. He sometimes scares easily around loud noises or people who are strangers. When I was taking pictures of him for the corgi tales page, he kept running away every time the camera flashed. (Fanny seemed to love having her picture taken). He was bought from a breeder in OK. Emily was concerned that maybe the breeders were not very nice people and it's made Rufus skittish. Once he warms up to someone, he's very friendly but is not needy. He's more independent than Fanny.

I had a ton of fun at Boneyard yesterday and really loved seeing all the adorable corgis!

Wish we could see everyone! Maybe by next month Taffy will be able to come to a meetup. Have a great time!

Unfortunately, our metro area is extremely spread out and no matter where the meet is someone is going to have to drive. I can't help that, I wish I could make everyone happy. The central Houston parks are extremely small pocket parks so that's the reason we tend to try to pick larger parks. When the Corgis get together they stay in a group and have a pack mentality so the more space the better.

Right... well members who aren't crazy about the drive would I guess be me because I live in League City... a lot of these parks on the Western side of Houston are pretty far for me.  I'll just see what gets the most votes and then decide if I want to make the drive over there.

Last year we did meet at a Pearland park, and have done impromptu meets at Paws in the Park out there, but a lot of members don't like to make the drive. Because it's a Houston group we do like to make the majority of the meets more centrally located. The most common places are Bill Archer & Danny Jackson. Majority rules so post your votes :)

I have a couple of suggestions for parks that allow children.... there are two dog parks in Pearland (Independence Park and Southdown Dog Park).  I believe both have agility equipent for dogs and look pretty nice.  The other is Bay Area Dog Park in the Clear Lake Area.  If you're ever considering a Corgi meet-up where families could come it seems that any of these three would be great!  :)

We can vote for next months meetup location and date, we do try and mix it up. If you guys want to set up another one at a dog park this month we can do that too. I'm more than happy to send out a group message :) The Boneyard is fun because there is seating and adult beverages, but we do like the dog park meet ups for bigger groups and the family inclusion. I love suggestions and group votes so please speak up! For those that haven't met me or the group yet, we are very easy going - that was my goal in creating this group - something where everyone is welcome, all types of Corgis, mixes and other furry family members! A group of people from all different walks of life brought togeter by our love of Corgis!

Early planning usually means a bigger turn out, sometimes life gets in the way and I don't plan as much as I should so a little prodding is always appreciated!

Oh silly me! Haha.. Glad I said something or I would have been there all alone! See you tomorrow, then. :)
