Monica and Sadie

We are going away that weekend, but I'm sure you all will have fun.  We'll catch you another time.  We just saw a 3-month Pembroke at the Chesapeake Dog Park the other day and he was adorable!!!  Next time I see them, I'll convince them to join this site.

I would like to come!!!!  Will probably just bring Maggie.

Hi fellow VA Corgi folks!  I just found this on MyCorgi, didn't notice it before...I have two Corgis currently, both were rescued...Katie (the mama) had been attacked by something big and the owner didn't care for the wounds to her back and hauches, they became infected (and with maggots...ick) and when she was VERY sick he finally took her to a vet and then went to Corgirescue which I am thankful for.  She is perfectly healthy now, just very shy.  Her son Jack came along with her (I wouldn't have it any other way!)..she is 4, he is 2....he is a ham and a mischeive maker as all corgis should be.  I recently lost my 10 year old Emma Anne to DM, she is our angel now:( 

I am in the Lynchburg area and would love to meet some others around here!  I read below about promoting the dog park here...bummer...we came in second, but it has stirred up more interest in it so maybe enought donations will make it possible.

I sort of have my own dog park tho...we live on a farm and have a huge fenced in back yard and often the chickens roam back there making perfect Corgi herding grounds!

Hope to hear from someone (or two..) local soon!  Take care in the hurricane!

Best Corgi wishes, Nancy, Katie, Jack and angel Emma

My 2 girls always love to play so Id be interested in a group meet too.  They don't get to play with other Corgis as often as Id like them to..

Stay warm and safe this weekend everyone! 

My pup Scooter loves doing meetups! We live in Alexandria VA and our new roommate happens to have a corgi too! We occasionally get out to the VA Beach area to visit family, maybe I'll send a message next time we go and see about getting a group up!

Also if anyone is in the Alexandria/Arlington/Fairfax/etc area and want to have a meetup at one of the dogparks sometime let me know! Scooter loves to play! :)

Ein and I are always down for weekend meetups at the beach. When ever is fine by me. Gets windy in the winter but the fall is nice for a walk on the beach. Get some dates rolling around in you all heads and we can arrange a meeting. I forgot what date the parking becomes free, I think it is in October. So maybe a weekend after that. Stay safe all you east coast Corgis and thier humans!

Wendy and I would love to have a meet-up soon!

Irene has come and gone......After a week we finally have power again....Sure was getting sick of listening to the generator.   Hope we don't have to prepare for the next hurricane.....Sam and Merry weathered the storm very well and really did not care if we had electricity or not...you know "happy as long as they have food, water, and lots of LOVE....Don't forget to let us know when there is going to be a Corgi meetup....If it is at VA Beach we need to have some advance warning.

was anything ever decided regarding a meetup?  anyone have any links to the posts? 

Ein and I are thinking October 15 at the Ocean front.

Yup, I have it set-up for Sept. 24th at Newport News Park 11am.

Everybody,

corgi meet-up on October 15th at the Oceanfront.  We are meeting on 31st St. by the Neptune statue.  Hope to see everybody there.  Robert, Kate and Ein are organizing it.  I'm just passing the word around.

Sadie and Monica

Hey everyone!  Not sure if you all know about the Dogs Gone Swimming event this weekend...  http://www.friendsofnacc.com/doggone2011.php

It was rescheduled... hopefully this weekend will be a little kinder though its not looking like it! 

If it does go on me and the girls will be there! 

I just posted new pictures from the Virginia Beach Corgi meet up and a recent costume contest.. If you would like to see them they are in my album:  My photos

Sour won first place at the costume contest as a Skunk this time!

husband and i are anxiously awaiting our lil man "tank",he is only two weeks old, in the meantime i am looking to "make friends" with other corgi owners in the area so i have an avenue to go to for advice. he is our first corgi. and have really wanted one for several years. and would like to be able to have other corgi pals for our lil man to hang out with.

actually that sounds like a lot of fun! and it would be nice to get our daughter exposed to corgis. she has only really been around either big dogs, or little itty bitty dogs. and i know corgis are a big dog trapped in a little body =)

Corgis of Virginia Beach are meeting in Oak Grove Lake Park in Chesapeake. Visit http://www.mycorgi.com/events/virginia-beach-corgis-second-meet-up to rsvpand to get  ore information.

Is anyone else aware that under Virginia law it is legal to murder your dog with no waiting period if the owner can't be immediately located.  This happened to an elderly Corgi whose escape was not noticed by his people.  According to published news reports he was turned into Crosspointe Animal Hospital, Fairfax Station, VA (Prince William Co.) and killed in less than 3 hrs.  Here's the link to the report.  http://dogblog.dogster.com/2011/11/15/old-dog-euthanized-within-3-hours-of-going-missing/

We need to protest the murder of this corgi.  What can we do to get the law changed?  This could be your corgi or mine next time!

Corgis are gathering again. Come play and RSVP.

Just found this on craigslist in norfolk virginia...  Corgi to a good home

Just wondering if there are any Corgi meet-up groups that are active in the Richmond, VA area.   Sammie and Merry are both ll years old now, but still have plenty of get-up and go in them.   They would love to have some corgi friends that are nto too far from home.  

Hi, I just joined this group.  A few months ago I adopted a 6 yr old female Cardigan Corgi Mix.  We live in Lynchburg.  Are there any of you close to us?  We would love to get together... Lynchburg has a new doggie park!!  Samantha (named by previous owner) is a very sweet little girl!  I want to be able to talk with someone that knows which brand of food I should be giving her because I have been trying different ones out and still cannot figure out the brand she was previously on.  Well.... anyone interested in getting in touch?

Hi Becky,  We are corgi owners and live in Lexington, VA.  Is Samantha having G.I. issues?  Is that why you are changing foods?  

Hello Louise, No Samantha isn't having G.I. issues.  I bought her the same dog food she has been eating.  I was just wondering if there is a better brand out there that Corgi's can tolerate better.  I know I'm not giving her a brand she's been used to eating because she hesitates before eating even when I know she's hungry.  I have cooked carrots and mixed them in with her dry food and she does eat it better now. 

I asked because Merlyn our corgi does.  He will eat anything.  Most of it goes through him faster than he can eat it.  We have him on NutriSource grain free buffalo and keep our fingers crossed.  We check on how dog food is rated on ThePetFoodList.com.  I don't think there is one brand that cogis do best on.

Hi Louise, sorry it's taken me so long to replay back to you.  I was asking about the foods people have their Corgis on because it seems that Samantha isn't really eating her food like she really enjoys it.  She's just eating without the excitement.  Thank you for that link to ThePetFoodList.com site, I'll use it for sure!

Hope you have a great weekend!

If Samantha is in good weight and spirits I wouldn't worry.  Perhaps she is like me and eats to live rather than lives to eat.  Hope you are having a great weekend too.
