About Me:
Hello !
I'm French, living in Japan (because my husband is Japanese), and I have 1 daughter (21 years old) and 2 Welsh Corgis.
We live in north Japan: Sendai city. (350km north from Tokyo)
I've never lived in an English speaking country, that's why my English isn't very good, but I want to try MyCorgi because I'm so happy to know people who, like me, like Corgis !
There is very few Corgis in France, and nothing like this community.
I enjoy very much looking all your Corgi photos, thank you !
Welsh Corgi Breeder?
No

    Thank you very much, CorgiMama and Anne !
    I'll try to add some photos, and see how "MyCorgi" works !
  • Tammey & Caven

    What a great photo of two good looking corgis. Welcome to you and your beautiful pups.
  • Steve

    Welcome Corgiflore, Nana and Uyanga. Great profile pix.
    Are you from France now living in Sendai, Japan?
  • Florence

    Thank you Tammey and Caven !

    Thank you Steve ! Yes, it's right, I'm from Paris, France, and living now in Sendai Japan ! That's why it's not always easy to find my way in an English (American ?) site, but there is nothing for Corgis in the French web....here, I'm so happy to see all your Corgis and to get to know people who, like me, love Corgis !

    CorgiMama, thank you so much !
    I just have a little problem, if someone can tell me about this: I received 2 friend request from people I don't know, and cannot see their page ! Here, for you, I could easily click on your icon image to see your page, but not for these 2 persons, who didn't write any comment like you, Steve, Tammey and Caven, and Anne did.....I wonder what to do...someone help please !
  • Tammey & Caven

    The creator of this wonderful website is Sam Tsang and there is a link to his page on the bottem left of this page. I am sure that he can fix any problem you might have.
  • Carmen

    Welcome to MyCorgi! I love to meet corgis from all over the world!

    Uyanga looks a lot like my Trunks. Both of your corgis are very cute!
  • Jenni & Dave Fields

    Your Corgis are beautiful! welcome! I would say this in French, but my french is not very good!
  • JollieEllie

    Hello!!! Greetings from OZ!
    Your corgi kids have such beautiful smiles! Now, do they learn their commands in French or Japanese?? :)
  • Florence

    Thank you very much, Tammeu & Caven, Carmen, Jenni & Dave and JollieEllie !

    I'm going to have a look at San Tsang's page, but I found that I could go to the pages I wanted by the e-mails.

    Nana and Uyanga understand both French and Japanese, escpecialy for food and treats (Nana) and toys (Uyanga).

    I just noticed "Comment back" and "View Threat" under the messages....sorry, I'll try it next !
  • Argo's Parents

  • JollieEllie

    I like the name Uyanga very much :) nice meaning too! We don't have such naming system in Australia. You can name your pets whatever you like.
    Truffle and Bailey still haven't worked out who's the boss yet.Truffle is currently the boss but she is not the dominant type so things might just turn when Bailey is a bit older. I'm so looking forward to the day when they finally work out the pack order. Then hopefully we can have some more peace :):):)
  • Gizmo

    Hello Florence,
    Uyanga and Nana, your corgi look very healthy and happy indeed. Gizmo and his buddy would love that big field, where's in your pictures, they love high speed chasing game. And all your pictures are very beautiful.
    We are the same, expatwomen. I'm glad that you were visiting my page...and my English(ESL) is different from others, as you know...
    I love dogs,any kind and have had many dogs before, but
    Corgi Gizmo, is differnt, he has personalities I never experience before. We love him eventhough he is very DEMANDING.
  • Arlette

    Thank you for the nice words!! Both your dogs also are very cute!!
  • sandra

  • sandra

    smiles : )

  • JollieEllie

    Watching TV? haha, cute. What's her favourite show?
    Nana is absolutely beautiful. You can't see that she's actually 10 years old, can you?
    We were trying to get a red head sable tri colour but this colour is so hard to find so we settle with black headed instead. Do you still have her puppy photos?
  • Gizmo

    ESL=English as a Second Language..
    I think for you EST;English as a Third Language... haha for EST, I made it for you.
    I love French language ,when you talk it sounds like a song for me..I got chance to hear a lot when I worked for French's company in Bangkok:and I am more understanding English-French than English-American...HAHA
    I also like Japanese language,I think the way they talk is very very polite and cute.
    I admire you that you can speak Japanese cause it's totally different, you also can read it too, I guess.
    My English is not better than you at all, believe me...Because,right now I talk with dogs more than people.....:)
  • sandra

    Bonjour Florence,
    Bien sûr .. Pumpkin promenades sur le Croisette. Elle est une grande étoile. How nice to hear from a Parisian. I was beginning to think Pumpkin was the only Cardi in France. She's been in Cannes for 14 months, but doesn't speak much French (like her mom). She likes it here compared to Key West's heat & humidity. She especially likes the food!!
    Your girls are adorable & they look like they're having fun. Are there a lot of Corgis in Japan? Delete Comment

    Bonjour Florence,
    Look up my friend JoAnne, she also lives in Key West, and has 3 Corgis. She would love to hear from you since she has 2 Pemmies and 1 Cardi. Is your Cardi breeder in France?
  • Christine Glossman

    Hi Florence,
    Interesting about the restrictions in Japan, how long are the dogs in quarantine? Pumpkin went back to Key West each winter for 2 years, but last winter we stayed in Cannes. I wanted to experience all 4 seasons. It was good, but the winter was long and cold for me. The Cannoise say it was unusual so maybe we'll stay again this year. Pumpkin was born in North Carolina, it was hard to find a blue merle in 2001. Key West is at the very tip of Florida, its 90 miles from Cuba and sticks out between the Atlantic Ocean & the Gulf of Mexico. Miami is 160 miles away but its very different from the rest of Florida. We lived in Florida almost 30 years & I promised my husband, who is Swiss, we'd spend the next 30 years in Europe. I love it!!
  • Gizmo

    Hello Florence,
    When I walk the dogs, once in a while I'll see people jogging pass by, it’s suburb, there is no park close by, and dogs always have to be on leash.
    My problems are culture shock, feeling lost identity and poor English; those effect my self-confident to interact with people. I hope it’s only temporary problem, I’m working hard on improvement. As I've said,too old,takes more times to adjust.
  • sandra

    hehe, i am gonna start answering you on the other site, okay!

    hehe

    smiles : )
  • Gizmo

    Thank you Florence :)
  • JollieEllie

    Hi Florence,
    Do you speak Japanese with the dogs? :)
    Are you going to stay in Japan or go back to France one day?
    My breeder (who mainly breeds tricolour corgis) told me once I had a tri, I would be hooked for life. :) and boy, she is right!
    I'm glad you like the icon :) I like your new icon too. How did you get them to sit pretty and stay like that?
  • Cheri

    Thanks for your comment on my corgis. Yup, I've got one of each. The best of both worlds!
  • Katie

    Hi Florence- I love your new icon. One with tail, one without! HA!
  • Gizmo

    Florence,
    Your update page is vey nice..cute &funny butts
    There are a lot more to see in Thailand. You will love it.
    We have planned to go back there very soon, to visit my Mom.

  • Carmen

  • Gizmo

    My home town is in the north of Thailand, the province by Burma, then I went to the University in Chiang Mai for 6 years, after graduated I worked in Bangkok for 13 years and now here I am in America. I never cook when I live in Thailand,it's cheaper to buy, a lot fresh foods and variety of fruits.Well talking about food..hungry..:) Now I cook, and my husband loves Thai food...spicy..
