About My Corgi(s):
Well. . it's been awhile and we've had our baby boy, who we have named Sketch (as my boyfriend and I are both Animators we felt it appropriate), for over a month now. I would have updated sooner but I just graduated college and things are FINALLY slowing down.

Sketch is a rambunctious little guy full of surprises and very vocal. He likes to tell his toys whose boss and we've come to a compromise with his noises. We've taught him to use his "inside voice". It's adorable how he barks under his breath and makes various soft puppy noises.

He enjoys a good tug of war, running, sniffing, cheese is his favorite treat and he's mastered sit, and understands the concept of lay down and stay fairly well at 13 weeks. We enjoy his company throughly. He's in the middle of his teething stage so we've been taking his milk bones and other small treats and throwing them in the freezer to help numb his gums. When I told my vet about the idea she ran with it and has been telling people to do this with their teething pups now.

He's and utter joy to be around and we love him to pieces.

He's going to be a black and tan Tri color and probably will be on the small side.

    Carrie, excellent choice in a dog. I have two Corgis at home and will be bringing a new little Tri on Feb. 17. Can't stop with just one. Love the Graphic. I need a poster like that to hang on the front door! I look forward to seeing pictures of your new little guy!

    Hi Carrie,
    You can find over 2000 dog names on the internet. Looking forward to some pics of your new Corgi.

    Hi Carrie and welcome!! I love Atlanta. I lived there for close to ten years. Can't wait to see pics of your new little one. Believe me, they're like Lay's chips--can't have just one!
  • Corgi Mom

    Welcome to the group! Looking forward to seeing pics of your new puppy! Congrats! :-D

    I checked out the site. I'll probably order the mini poster. Perfect. Might even consider a mug! Just put the latest picture from my breeder of our little boy--I can't wait to pick him up.

    Hi, Carrie. I know you will absolutely adore your new Corgi. We've had our Corgi, Tracker, for almost two years. I cannot imagine having any other breed!

    I really like the "Obey the Corgi" graphic on your page. Is it available for purchase?
  • Evelyn Kay

    Thanks for the nice note :) I know, there just aren't enough of us in Atlanta...yet! Bailey is actually a little girl but used a boy spelling on her name (not on purpose, just wanted to name her after Bailey's Irish Cream). Don't you just love tri-colors? I think they have the coolest features. Where in Atlanta do you live? I work on-air for Kicks 101.5 FM.

    Hey did you make that Russian style war propaganda poster of the corgi? That is the coolest thing I've ever seen!
  • Michelle and Steve

    Oh nice! I'm going to buy the poster for sure! It's such a great idea.
  • Nicole & Baxter

    Congratulations on your new baby! He is just precious. =) I'm still waiting on my little guy too. I'm a first time corgi owner myself, I do believe we are in for a grand experience!
