About My Corgi(s):: We lost our Corgi (Emmy) on October 12, 2007 to a rare Wild Animal Bacteria carried by infective Skunks and a few other animals. Emmy was only 7 years old when we lost her. She was loved by everyone, especially the kids, we always knew where she was when there were any kids around. She especially loved to play with anyone in the water.

We have been looking for another Corgi since.

Emmy was beautiful! It's so sad that she died early. How did she contract the bacteria and what can be done about it?
We hope you find a new Corgi soon that will bring happiness to your family's lives.

It is so hard to lose a dog. I lost my beloved when she swallowed two screws and they lodged in her esophagus. After surgery the kidneys shut down. She left too early but I kept saying joy of having her was more than the pain of losing her. Remember the good times!

In the meantime share Dodger's heart! I'll get a photo up soon.

Dear George,

I am so sad to hear about the loss of your sweetie. Please let us know when you find a new pup. There's no replacing, but each new dog creates his or her own special new niche in your heart.

Your pictures of Emmy are a tribute to a very full, and enjoyed life. It's obvious, she missed out on nothing life had to offer her. She lived, when she was alive. That's the hope for us all, isn't it?

George V is a very handsome fellow. Looks a lot like my Rusty and our late Duffy. Duffy was 16 yrs old when he went to the bridge.

George,
Thanks for the friend invite. Sorry to hear about your girl. We lost our corgi female, Tess, in November 2007. She was chasing Brody, who was still a pup at the time, trying to chase him down before he reached our road. Brody crossed the road and Tess was killed by a truck that was going over 50 mph in our residential neighborhood. We miss her terribly and know how you feel. We know a great breeder in NY, near Albany, if you're interested.

Thank you George for the invite and I am sooo sorry to hear about Emmy. She was a very cute dog and I know how hard it is to lose your corgi as I lost my 10 month old sogri Baxter back in March due to kidney failure. They become your children.

I am so sorry to hear about your tragic loss. They are just too precious to us. She was a beautiful little girl. I hope you find another love soon! Life's too short to be without a Corgi. Good luck! In the meantime, you have lots of new friends to share things with. And I'm sure that we're all rooting for another little darling and lots more puppy luvins in your home, soon!

George, little Emmy's photo melts my heart. I can easily imagine that she was loved by all; gone way too soon. I hope your next Corgi joins your family shortly. Emmy will approve. Remember, she's in and all around you now, not so far away as it may seem.

My sympathy, as a long time dog owner I know how heartbreaking it is to lose our 4 legged family members. Our Emmie too loves the water, though in our case it's a wading pool set up for our 2 other girls, a 6 yr. old dobie who is also her playmate and a 10 yr. old german shepard, dobie cross who, in her mind is a mother to her. We live on 6 acres in country with 3 horses and barn cats. I got Emmie from a breeder in Minn., whose husband is a veternarian. Can give you her email address if interested though doubt she has puppies right now. Connie

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I lost a bichon last year that I had since I was in 2nd grade (I'm almost 26). Dogs become closer to us than most people...but will forever live in our hearts. Good luck finding a new Corgi...Emmy will be looking down on you.

I'm so sorry to hear about your Corgi Emmy. We also lived in NH in the southern region and lost our first Corgi Denny to a wild animal bacteria. My heart goes out to you. I totally understand the loss. Our Denny was just 1 years old and we always had him in a fenced in yard and this happened anyway. I know of a great Corgi Breeder in NH if you ever want to talk to her. She's very nice and we had thought of getting a puppy through her until we just adopted a Corgi/Lab rescue from Georgia this week.

Hello George,
So sorry to read about Emmy. I too have lost a special dog and know it is heartbreaking. I'm amazed at how similar her facial coloring is to our Wendy's. We just joined the board and established our page but can't figure out how to "decorate" it. Yours looks great... how did you do it?

I'm sorry for your loss. I too lost a dearly loved pet that had been a member of our family since shortly after my husband & I got married. Our Bingo was a great source of comfort, even though I think he was secretly glad to finally be top dog! I hope you've found another corgi to fill the void Emmy left. They are always with us in our hearts, aren't they! I still see Mac walking down the hall sometimes but now it makes me smile.

Very sorry for your loss. I have had to put two precious, big dogs to sleep over the past 8 years due to illness and still miss them. We only have our "Kirby" now. I cannot imagine what life will be like when it is his time to go. Hopefully, he will be around for a long while yet. Good luck finding another Corgi to be a member of your family. They are very special. If I had room, I would have several.

Emmy and Cassie are so sweet! I'm very excited to see my corgi swim--I think he'll be really good at it! Thanks for sharing! :)

I'm so sorry to hear about Emmy-- there are few things sadder than such a loss before its time. I lost my first corgi, Sasha, unexpectedly in October 2006 and would still be a wreck if we hadn't acted fast and dumped all our love on another corgi. Am not sure if you've ever considered adopting a rescue corgi, but I found it helped me kind of complete the story I never got to finish with Sasha by giving another mature corgi a loving home. It really gave both of us a second chance to be happy. (You can see how happy Mollie is in the profile picture-- it was taken just a couple days after we brought her home!) I hope you find another pair of giant ears to warm your couch very very soon!
