We continue to foster, rehab and place rescue corgis in need.
Thanks for the add! Love your two corgis, esp. in the water! I'm still curious to see how Kyoshi will react the first time he's introduced to the water.
Car nut huh? What ride(s) do you have?
Hi Sam ~ thanks much for the warm welcome. :) It will help to have friends when we bring Mikko home, I have a feeling we'll need the support! I love this site, good to be a part of it! have a great day!
Hey Sam! Thanks for the response! I'll try out your suggestion, probably with the kiddie pool for now. Our friend who owns Kyoshi's brother, has a swimming pool that I want to take Kyoshi to, but we'll start him off with a small body of water first. Is chlorine bad for them?
Wow...that's quite a history of cars owned. Mine is not quite as long. I've owned 2 Nissan Sentras(SE and now an SE-R) and 2 Audis...an A4 1.8TQ and now an S4. All of which have been modified. My S4 is now the weekend car and the SE-R is my daily driver and track car.
Oooh...an Exige is one badass ride. I have a co-worker with one and have ridden at one on the track. My other friend has a turbo'd Elise. Good luck with whatever you end up with after you move!
I think the FAQ section is a great idea. I forgot there was a classified section b/c I always see other discussions before I get to it! Yeah, I know 4 breeders off hand that would be great to rec. Thanks!
Just wanted to let you know that although I have only been a member of the site for a few days, it has become my favorite! Everyone is is super nice and helpful. I am very happy to be a part of it and am looking forward to seeing everyone at the meet ups!
Thanks so much for the warm welcome! I looked at your page and I just moved away from Merritt Island! Small world, well Corgi world! lol I love the site and thanks again.
i give kaijuu ice cubs too! he doesnt know what to do with it, if im not holding it ... so its a bit of a pain to give him ice cubes. and if i leave it in the water, he wont drinnk it -_-
Great pics. Your dogs are adorable. I noticed you have a business in Toronto, I moved from the Markham/Stouffville area to Northern California. I've taken Jack to Carmel and will probably have to get him a lifevest before our next trip.
One of my sisters lives here in the Bay Area and my husband at the time wanted to move to California so once I got here I never wanted to leave. I couldn't imagine living back with the cold Ontario winters ever again....lol Now my whole family lives here.
thanks, Sam. Everyone on this website is so kind. Loved your pics. We have yet to take Camber to the ocean--kind of curious what she'll think of the water. She's still really skittish and needs to be socialized, but she makes progress everyday. I plan on loading more pictures soon.
Hi Sam! It's going well here. Cody is just a sweetheart and is adjusting beautifully. Even co-workers are talking about how much happier he looks! Makes my heart smile. Thanks for asking!
I love our site. I give my card with the site address on it to every corgi person I meet. What a wonderful forum for everyone! And over a thousand members now. Wow!
Just thought of something! I was wondering if it would be possible to add a feature where I could search by location - i.e. find all members who put San Francisco, CA as their location. =P That would be helpful.
G'Day Sam! Yes - Got to love the Vegimite and Tim Tams! I will be picking little Arabella up in June and I cannot wait! Your corgi's are just gorgeous!
I tried taking Mei to the beach today. I think it's going to be a slow process to get her into the water. She only got near it when we threw a stick in the water, but she waited til the water receded before fetching. =)
They get along alright? Because I am thinking of adding a friend for Ein and hope he will like a little girl. I was also considering getting a Boarder Collie or Shetland Sheepdog instead of another Corgi
Hi, thanks. I'm so glad I discovered your website. There certainly is something about Corgis! I discovered the toy using an empty water bottle with goodies inside on this site and Dusty is busy playing with it now!
Thanks for the info. We have done all the preliminary testing. I have 4 generation pedigrees on both dogs and they both have great temperaments. I think they will compliment eachother beautifully if we breed them. The tri has alot of champions in her bloodline and the tan has a few also. Your slide show is a riot. I will show it to my daughter. We are crazy about corgis. I live in Mass. and they are very rarely seen here.
Thanks for commenting on Kupo's puppies. Yes, I so cannot wait for MGS4. It looks so awesome and challenging, it's gonna be a great game! I had no idea you were into videogames! That's so cool! Did you get the limited edition? I reserved it.
Yea, I know, I just can't see Snake pulling the trigger. And I wonder what the deal is with Raiden, how he got like that, I can't wait to play, just days away. Did you know they are going to make an MGS movie? Another game I'm very anxious about is Resident Evil 5.
