Let's be clear....Chloe only likes 'still' water! The waves at the beach send her running away like a scared pup :)

Jillie may still grow into it....Chloe wasn't sure about it at first, but now she'll swim for hours in the lake!

Thank You everyone for the warm welcome! You are all so friendly, and you have the most beautiful children too! (even though my Lab is a bit jealous...nevermind..he isn't anymore..he just found a ball) Wish you all well!

Thank you for your kind words. We are having a difficult time finding any Corgi puppies right now. In a way this may be good. Bodecea is gradually developing more self-confidence which I think will help her be a good "big sister". She is kind of shy and she lived with dominant but sweet, Neika, and very dominant and not always so sweet cat, Darby, all of her life. She never had to be dominant. It's great watching her become more self-assured and assertive.

Hi Kathy and Jim: I just got home from work after an 8 hour shift, hence my delay in responding. We did indeed figure out today how to have Buddy go to the bathroom in the back yard today; all we did was wait about 1 1/2 hours after he ate this morning, and after the rain slowed a bit, and we went out in the back yard with him and threw his ball 3 times, and that's all it took...lol so, we made some progress today, yayyyyyyy....lol also, when I left for work around 1:45, and my husband Alex was gone, I kenneled him in the kitchen, giving him full run of it, as we have a swinging door from the kitchen to the dining room, and a gate blocking the basement steps, and when Alex came home, there were NO messes, like the other night, so we all have had a very productive day, and I am very proud of his accomplishments today, and rewarded him for his behavior. I even got him to sit, and stay in the living room, while I answered the front door, until I said Buddy okay, then he came to me, so we ARE making progress...I appreciate hearing from you Kathy and Jim and Thank you for inviting me as your friend. Have an awesome weekend!

Hello Jillie! I like the little white between your eyes! :)

Tania's Mr. Chips

Mr Chips is turning into a nice young man ;) He was REALLY crazy up until my boyfriend moved in with me a couple months ago- that really helped straighten him out. lol. I think he needed more of a routine and that's what he has now. So he's come a long ways. He's still very excitable and very social but I wouldn't have it any other way!

7 months now. I absolutely love him. He's one of the most fun dogs I've ever had! I always wanted a corgi when I was little and I finally got set up to be able to get one. Best choice I've ever made! =D

Kathy, Jillie is sooooo adorable! OMG! She's 10 months old? That's the age of the corgi we are planning on adopting (she's on my avatar). I've never had a corgi. We have a chihuahua, and we really enjoy our friend's Australian Cattle Dog. This corgi girl is coming from divorced folks. We are told she's fine with kids and other dogs, has great personality, etc. But I know there will be time of adjusting for all of us. If you have any suggestions on how to make a transition for a 10 months old corgi easier, I am all ears:)

Hi Kathy! Thanks for the message! Jillie is super cute! We have been sucked into the corgi cuteness and we hope to have our second in december sometime! Can't wait! :)

Man! The lady that I was talking to about a female corgi e-mailed me today saying she's dealing with someone else. I was led to belive we were the only ones. The kids and I are bummed out. Where in Greenville SC did you get your Jillie?

Thanx, Kathy, for the moral support...even if this corgy's adoption falls through for us, it's OK as long as the little girl goes to ppl who will love her. But we are determined to get a corgi one way or another:) Just gotta keep praying.....

Hi Kathy and Jim! Jillie is quite a cutie. Love this website. A great one to stumble upon. We live in S Central PA - close enough to all the best parts of PA. Our 2 boys are 23 [today, happy b-day Matt!] and 22. College graduates in May '08 and June '09 [Lord willing]. Dave and I are adjusting to the nest just fine! Do you visit PA anymore?

haha, ollie will only stop eating if there's no food left.. even then he'll try and find something to chew on! ollie speaks his mind too... when he's playing, and you tell him, "no," he sasses back with a little yip that's like, "yeah right, mom." haha, i love how lively they are! jillie is absolutely gorgeous! i love all her red!

Kathy, hey! Thanks for stopping by. The lady (lab breeder selling a corgi for her divorced friend) never got back to me after letting me know someone else was interested in that 10 mos old dog. I wish she'd at least tell me not to expect anything...so I could move on. Well, I did move on and am working with the local Rescue Agency. We really want a red+white young female (someone like your Jillie) , but one never knows when things 'click' sometimes:) One thing I know - we as family are committed to give our future dog a 'heaven on earth' ... I'll keep you posted.

Thanks for the warm welcome! Is Jillie from Pa? I've been trying to find a good breeder in Pa or maybe a surrounding state.

Hello, and thanks for the welcome. I had to promise my husband that this was the last animal I would ask for. He wanted a written contract! hehe. I just don't think you can have too many. (As long as you can afford to care for them. thankfully my father is a vet so care is free for us.)

Meghan

Hello! I would have to say I have a love/hate relationship with living here. We had a "riot" last weekend and it makes it hard to accept the students but I do appriciate all that the college brings to our town. As for watching the games, I can't say I'm into that but let me know if you ever need tickets! What part of Pa were you from, does your son go here?

Thank you.....I am so excited about this little guy, it's all I can think about! My Mom says that I'm "nesting", with all the planning and preparations I'm doing around the house for him.

Oh a puppy! Rueben came to me when he was 3 and I often wonder what he looked like as a puppy. Jillie is so sweet!

Kathy, the original corgi girl didn't work out simply because the owner never contacted me back. We heard about this 10 months old boy from our local Pembroke Welsh Corgis Rescue Agency. The agency worker was extremely helpful acting as a matchmaker between us and the family that were getting ready to surrender the little guy to the Rescue. After several e-mails and phone calls they feel we'll be able to take better care of him. We are soooo excited! Thanks for prayers.

Howdy,
Jillie is certainly beautiful. Does she like to chase the rabbit?
We don't know much more about Mickey's origins. I had looked for a rescue Corgi for months and months without luck. A woman my husband knows who's involved in rescue found one in 5 days and he gave him to me for my birthday. We were told that his owner died and his wife couldn't take care of him. He was sent up north with a shipment of dogs from a shelter and he was very skinny when he arrived but as we got to know him it was evident that he had a caring early life. One day I said the work Cricket and he responded so quickly and strongly that I'm sure that was his first call name. He's a lively handful so I understand that an elderly grief-stricken widow may have found it hard to care for him. But he suits us fine and all has turned out well. We live in the hills of western Massachusetts and have plenty of land for him to run on to use up that perpetual energy. We have an older big black retriever mix rescued from North Carolina who is much happier and livelier with Mickey as a friend. We're pretty lucky considering we knew nothing about him when we committed.
