About Me:
I'm a lil ' tri Corgi babeh, who just settled into to my new digs with my new mom in the Bay Area. Mom says my name is Rabbit, but that's just my in-trouble name. She also calls me Little Grimlin, Grim, Bunster, Silly Wabbit, Snorglepuss, Snortle, Munchkin, Pupster, Crazy, Fuzzpants, Frappachino, Rabs, Rabbie, Rabbinski, Rabittini, Rabbelstiltskin. Binsk-from-Minsk, I'm so confused.

Things I have learned in 16 weeks; My name, the name of my toys and to get them when asked, sit, the dinner whistle, and that there are a lot of rules. I have also learned to walk on a leash, to kayak, that everyone thinks I'm adorable. My only real problem is that I only remember there are rules after I break them!
Welsh Corgi Breeder?
No
About My Corgi(s):
I'm a lil' love bug that enjoys snuggling up around your neck and taking a snooze. I like to get wild at 2am, so don't plan on sleeping much. True, I am still learning not to pee in the house. Likes; snorgling, frapping, flokati rugs, cheek rubs. Dislikes; When my toys ignore me, my ears being blown in, things that make me itch. I might be a Fluffy, which is so good because my mom ADORES dog hair. I'm super smart too. It shouldn't take too long to figure out the ways of the world...
I have:
Pembroke

    How cute! Why don't you just name the pup Rabbit? I love it!
  • Jenni & Dave Fields

    We think you should shorten Bunny Butt to Bee Bee...she looks like a Bee Bee to me!
  • Amanda Poon

    That would be fun. How old is your puppy?
  • Junbug

    Would love to meet you, cutie!
  • Amanda Poon

    He's 21 weeks, or just over 5 months. It must be so fun getting to know Rabbit while she's so young and tiny! I got Cow when he was 4 months old, so he wasn't quite as small.
  • Karen & Bailey

    aww so cute! =)

    The meetup is every second saturday @ 1pm. Probably till about 3pm at the latest. =P Next one is scheduled Sept. 13th! see you there!
  • Sam Tsang

    Welcome Rabbit!
  • Carrie

    Aww, Rabbit is an absolute cutie! I still haven't had a chance to make it out to the local corgi meet up (I intend to one day), but I'm sure Bella would enjoy playing with Rabbit.
  • Cheryl

    Welcome! Looks like a Lollipop... or Popsicle.. Emily likes food names. Go figure.

    Hello Rabbit! Congratulations on your new family member -- adorable she is! I used to live in the Bay Area myself. Love it, miss it every single day, can't afford it, have had to force myself to accept the fact, so here I am in Florida. Not a bad place to hang my hat, don't get me wrong, but not a day passes that I don't see myself in California again.

    You asked about kayaking with new pup, Rabbit. We took Mia kayaking for the first time in 2007 (shown here in the thumbnail photo). We had rescued Mia only a few months earlier. She was 1.5 years old. She was so excited -- smiling Corgi-ear to Corgi-ear! We bought her a top-quality life preserver made by Ruffwear (about $70 as I recall). It's of KEY importance to have a "grab-handle" on the topside of the life preserver, just in case they fall into the water. We had no training or experience with Mia and kayaking, and we weren't sure if she could swim or not, we had no idea how she'd respond/react, but she loved it! She stood on the deck of Jack's boat trying to get her sealegs, but fell into the water repeatedly. Jack would swiftly grab the handle and bring her onboard again. Momentarily stunned, she quickly shook it off, showering Jack in the process, and tried again to balance. The deck was wet and slippery, of course, so Jack secured a t-shirt under some bungy cords on the deck to help her with traction. That helped her get her sealegs for the first time! Now, we have a special mat for her to stand on, so she's confident and proud, seldom falls into the water anymore.

    As Rabbit is a baby, I'd suggest taking more cautious steps to ensure a good experience from the start, i.e. take a small bed/soft cushion of sorts to put in the cockpit so she can be comfortable and stable inside your boat, rest it between your outstretched legs, along with a life preserver that fits little ones. Let her get used to the movement of the boat, the water, while having the security of being close to you. (I used to do this for my elderly dachshund, Chloe, whom we lost sadly in Dec. 2006. We didn't want to leave her at home, so she came along for the ride.) Then, after Rabbit has a bit of experience in the boat, you may want to stand her on the deck while idling in the water, your hands free of the oars, so you can support and balance her. I think it would be best to protect her from falling as she's so young -- experiencing the shock of the water too soon -- for fear it would frighten her into hating the water. I've only taken my dogs in calm water, by the way. I don't take them out in the open ocean, only the peaceful marshlands where the water is perfectly calm.

    Good luck and have fun! I'm looking forward to hearing more about Rabbit and her adventures.
  • Mary Phoenix

    Your little Rabbit is positively adorable! No special preparation is needed to take her kayaking. As long as you have her wear a life jacket you are set. The main reason for the jacket is that there is a handle on the top! You can easily lift your dog into the boat from shore or from the water should she slip. This works really well. Have fun! I live in Sonora. Let me know if you want to get together for a trip :-)
  • Amanda Poon

    Even though he's older, I still have to say the "don't"s and the "no"s. He'll put anything in his mouth... It seems like Cow is constantly changing too. But I think it's mostly that he's settling in with us and starting to show his mischievousness.

    Hooray for other animal names!
  • Justin Nelson

    Cool! sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Benny is keeping me busy. How is your baby? She is definitly his littermate, I have some of the same photos from Kim and Peggy. When the kids are old enough we should set up a puppy play date.
  • Katie & Lola

    Thanks for the comment! Your corgi's ears are the cutest things ever. they're HUGE. i love it!
  • Justin Nelson

    You got it.
  • Karen & Bailey

    hahah i snuck him in a gym bag!!! just kidding!!!

    Every year, the local Major League Baseball people set aside one game a year where u can take your dogs! It's been going on for 10+ years, but this was our first one! Going to make it a tradition! Anyways, they had volunteers with jugs of water to refill free bowls they gave out, and we were segregated to the bleacher section of the stadium so cleanup would be controlled. =P We had a blast! I know other teams do it too besides the SF Giants, for instance the team across the bay, the Oakland A's - has a dog days of summer event too! It's great!
  • Karen & Bailey

    I see your in california! not sure where pledmont is - norcal or socal? and and.. im betting you the Dodgers / Angels or even San Diego's ballparks have a dog days of summer event too! =P
  • Karen & Bailey

    are u in piedmont?!?! i searched on a map to see where pledmont is, and i cant locate it!! ?!?
  • Karen & Bailey

    Haha your welcome! I found myself pretty much dogsitting and meeting other dogs at the game (so you don't really have to be a baseball fan to get into it!). Lol. Wow! Bailey's never been on a plane, but at least when they're that young, you can take them carry-on right? I would feel bad traveling with Bailey now on a plane, since he'd have to go in cargo. Poor pets down there!.

    Have a great week now! Hope to see you guys at a meetup eventually!

    Thanks!
  • Cheryl

    Since he is so smart maybe you should name him Einstein! LOL... I love the pics of the Corgi Wrasslin!
  • Sybil

    You sure are cute! Piedmont-we're neighbors!
  • Carmen

    Rabbit is too cute! I love that cute little corgi face. He definitely could be a fluffy, but I don't think he'll be too fluffy.
  • Carmen

    I'm trying to remember what Pan looked like at that age. She's a fluff. I do love the freckles. They are too cute!
  • pat and mike

    Hi Rabbit. No biting - Trudy is a lover, not a biter. Thanks.
  • ArchaicLion

    haven't seen one with so little white either. He has less than his siblings. His mother looks alot like him, but she has more white on her chest. I can try to get a pic of her to post sometime soon. His father has passed, a few months back (accident with a stray pit), so I can see if there are any that were taken I could load as well.
  • ArchaicLion

    Wow your puppy is adorable.
  • ArchaicLion

    Actually I do live in Tupelo.
  • Hayley, Roxy, & Bolt

    Thanks for the welcome! Rabbit is absolutely adorable! I love the first kayak ride photo. Looks like a lot of fun!
  • Ellie Belly

    Haha! Rabbit has about as many nicknames as Ellie! Good thing they are a smart breed, otherwise she might have some identity issues :)
  • Richard

    Hi, nice to meet you. I love thoese freckles on on your pup's muzzle..lol. I got mine from Breeder from Hesperia,CA.
    How old is your pup? May I ask how much you feed him?(my breeder had no idea)
  • Marcy

    Thanks! It was her smile that couldn't let me leave her in the pet store. :) Rabbit has awesome freckles!
  • John Wolff

    I think there is extensive legend re corgwyn and fairies.

    There's a lovely (wordless) picture book by CHristian Slade, "Korgi", along this line.

  • Meryl

    Hi Rabbit, thanks for the add. Rabbit is such a cutie!
  • Jeanne & Jen's Lucy

    Not sure if we can make it all the way there. We live in Moraga and Mtn. View is about an our away. We have so many dog parks near us that I seldom drive that far to go to one. We have one in Martinez, Danville and Walnut Creek. Are you going to the Corgie Fair in December in Dixon.
  • Lani

    Thanks for the welcome. Perhaps we can make it to the meet and great next month.
  • LB's Page

    Thank you for the comment on Bear's holiday photo. That was last years X-mas card, if you have any ideas on poses for this year I'd love to hear them!! Have you ever heard of Vista Prints? They offer a lot of free printing, quality printing (business cards, greeting cards, etc) all you have to pay is shipping? To good to sound true, yes but there really isn't any catches I order from them all the time! Check them out!
  • Linda and Kaijuu Le

  • Dot Brooke

    I have a 5 month Corgi named Song, but I have a Fluff that is just a year. Carrie is also a black headed tri. She is sooo loving. I think Fluffs are. Your Rabbit is soooo adorable. Check out my pictures on My Corgi.com Dot Brooke

    Hi,
    Our corgi Zack lives in Piedmont (with us), too. During the work week, he goes to his friend Morgan's (aka Morgi the Corgi) house. They love the off-leash park off Wildwood. We loved the pictures of Rabbit! best,
    Sandy and Danny and Zack.
