Profile Information:

Hometown:: I was raised in Western Massachusetts and now live in Mobile, AL
About Me:: My partner and I are the proud parents of 3 Pemmies,a Cardi X, and a Cardi, of whom are spoiled rotten. I'm a dog trainer. I also volunteer my time to an animal welfare organization here to train their dogs on the basics so they are more adoptable. I continue to work with service, therapy and special needs dogs. I am disabled by Fibromyalgia now and only train privately. My partner, Patti B., is a groomer and all-around animal whisperer! She also is disabled; an Iraq War Vet. We also have a catahoula x and mini aussie x to round out the family.
Welsh Corgi Breeder?: No
Website:: http://thespiritjourney.blogspot.com
About My Corgi(s):: Tank, CWC X, is AKC-CGC and Delta certified and is retired as my partner's service dog. (She is an OIF/Iraq War vet.) Everybody in town knows Tank. I'm no longer Cindi, I'm Tank's mom. We also have Rainer, Riley, Harmony (service dog), Dundee, Moira, and honorary corgis Ranec (catahoula) and Aine' (aussie).

Dundee, PWC, is a puppy mill rescue. When we adopted him, he weighed 14 lbs, was missing fur, teeth were rotten, ears eaten off...it was sad. Now he's a healthy and happy boy!

Moira, PWC, was a rescue organization adoption. She was grossly overweight, close to 48 lbs. She's now a svelte 25 lbs. She's the boss of the whole pack!

Harmony is a CWC who came from a wonderful breeder in the Huntsville area. She is just a sparkle princess! So sweet natured and good hearted. She joined our family on August 21st '09. Harmony is now trained as Corgi Mom's new service dog. She's so SMART! Everyone loves her and she has her own fan club now.

Rainer was an owner surrender to me after he was attacked by an intact pit bull and it's owner. He was in pretty bad shape. Now he is such a happy boy, running and jumping and frapping! He loves everyone he sees. Still working on liking other dogs, but that will come in time.
I have:: Both Pembroke and Cardigan

Hi Cindi - thanks for the welcome! We are very proud of our rescue boy Spencer.

I was reading some of your posts about overweight corgis. Spencer weighed in at 41 lbs when we took him to the vet for the first visit. We're watching his food intake and doing as much walking as he can handle. He had really long nails when we got him, they were starting to curl under. I don't think my boy had been on a walk in a long time. He is a really BIG boy too - I think most of his size is muscle with just a bit of extra weight. He's pretty quiet, but we are getting more personality out of him every day. Still trying to figure out who rescued who!

Thanks for the comment. Yeah, Spike is one cool dude and also a total baby as well as totally spoiled. But what can I say, he's my baby!

What a pack you have there! And they're all just dolls. I'm getting a second one in a couple of weeks. He's another BHT--a rescue from Oklahoma. I think it will be good for Tuck to have a buddy; but I'm a little nervous. I've never had more than one dog before. If you have any advice for handling multiple corgis, I'd be happy to hear it.

I do have the FURminator, and it helps a TON this time of year when they start to blow their coats! I also invest in the Scotchguard tape rollers to take the fur off of my clothes and furniture (because as members of the family, they are allowed up there to cuddle!)

Cindi - Fellow New-Englander here. Thank you so much for the welcome, George now has some pictures up and I think we are going to like mycorgi.com. Your pups are beautiful and you can see how happy they are, you & your partner are clearly great pet parents. Cheers - Rachel (George's mom).

Hi Cindi,
I love your leash on the door knob idea you recommended for little Baxter. I would like to try that with Max. His every day behavior has improved greatly but there are still times when his attitude gets the best of him and he needs a time out. He just turned 5 months on Easter. Would this be a good time to introduce something like that?

Thank you for Kirby's compliment. He sure loves his soccer ball too. If we kick it around the yard he will nip us to herd us and get the soccer ball back from me!! LOL

Cindi, took mme a bit to realize you changed your profile pix! Lizzie had her Thyroid checked and she can't blame her chubby on that. We are keeping her on the green beans and kibble. My husband thinks she is losing weight, but I don't see it, but I haven't weighed since we went to the vet.

Hi Cindi, thank you for the comment!!! When we got Kendra we had the name picked out already. I'm not sure why we didn't go with a biblical name for her.

Thank you for the lovely welcome Cindi - and what a wonderful family you have! I love that you have rescue dogs - my Bailey was an SPCA baby adoptee... there's something wonderful about giving a home to a little guy that really needs to find out what a family's really all about! :)

Hey Cindi, You mentioned yours fight too. How do you handle that? Looks like you have many corgis. Very cute!

Thanks for the welcome! I noticed that one of your dogs is a Therapy Dog. We're considering training Plato for that. He seems to know when people are in need of some TLC...Was it difficult to get your dog certified?

Thanks so much for the welcome! This is my first corgi and actually my first puppy (at least on my own!) I grew up in a family with labs but I love all dogs and Suzy just seemed to be right for me.

Badger (and his mom Marci)

Wow! That's quite a pack you have! I was lucky enough to have 2 Corgis for a bit while I was fostering Badger's dad Tucker and I loved it! Badger was not such a fan, but I'd love to have another Corgi sometime! With 3 cats, 2 dogs, and fish, my husband has sort of drawn the line at anymore pets.

Thanks for the add! Marci and Badger
