    Hi,
    I guess the next time I go back home we'll have to take Bella with us! Everyone tells me that tris aren't rare, but I agree - you hardly ever see one and I always get stopped so people can adore her which she hates (NOT!!!). I live in CA now but was born and raised on the South Shore in Kingston! I wish I could go back more often, but I don't think this year. Are you staying in town for the pops on the fourth? Stay safe! Donna & Bella

    Hello, everyone! Well, Camber went into heat 24 hours before she was scheduled for her spay. Needless to say, it has caused some upheaval, but we're going to try the diapers and keep our fingers crossed. Hope everyone is doing well!

    We always muzzle our female, Addie. Jake, never needs to be. She's the one who loves to be groomed though...so, go figure. Nailtrimming is never fun. Ad still has her dewclaws, and they turn into little pokers if not maintained. We got her at 2 yrs. old, from a breeder who had too many corgis. (is there such a thing, I ask?) She was 40 lbs. at the time. Now, she's 29. We supplement her 1/4 cup of food with unsalted canned green beans. Jake exercises so much, he doesn't need to diet. They're both cuckoo heads, but lordy, I love 'em.

    It's awesome that you've rescued her!! Is that a Bernese Mtn Dog in your photo? The pair look awesome together... I lvoe how their colors & markings are nearly identical! I'll definitely be keeping my eye on your page to look for more pics!

    I think it's great that you think enough of your girl to monitor your posting about the paws. She's darling and you're both lucky finding each other...

    No, I didn't rescue Henry. I was an evil person and got him at a pet store in Portland, OR. He was sold to me as a doxie! My friend kept telling me his ears would drop, and his tail would straighten out . Pet store may be evil, but I'm the luckiest person to have this guy in my life. My dorgi is a great dog and most of his behavior issues can be laid at my feet...

    I'm lucky to have this guy. I didn't really know about unconditional love until he came into my life. The saying "I wish I was half the person my dog thinks I am" sure fits me. The darn guy appears to think everything revolves around me...

    Hi everyone! Cam and I had a great day today. Took her for our morning constitutional and she actually let a stranger pet her! Yeah!!! Y'all don't understand how huge that was. She didn't skitter away (as usual) and actually seemed to not mind being touched.

    Camber is such a unique name. I love it! She looks absolutely precious! I know that you are the perfect family for her. The pictures show how happy she is! I will get some updated pictures of Lily as soon as I figure how to move my pics from my phone to the card successfully. I lost a lot of my other pics of her recently.

    Thank you.

    That was the name her previous owner gave her (they were big Nascar fans. It has something to do with brakes...). We think she's happier everyday. She came into our lives for a reason. I mean, when I saw her little face, there was NO WAY I wasn't going to scoop her up!

    I love the fact that you use Ceasar's behavior methods with your students. I almost cried laughing out loud when you responded to me. Thanks for the laugh! arline

    What age do you teach? Sped. or Reg.? It is nice to find a teacher that likes Corgi's too!

    Cam's been off her eating schedule. Last night (this morning), she decided that she was going to eat at 2:30am. She made such a racket! Then, she came to my side of the bed, looking for head scratchies! Being the sucker I am, I gave them, but I need to stop this little habit.

    I am a elementary Special Education Self-contained teacher. It is nice to find another corgi/teacher. :)

    Wow...it's been a while since I've written anything! Lots o'drama over Camber today. For more info, check out Moses' discussion. It's worrisome, but judging from Cam's face this morning, I think everything will be ok.

    Chamber is a beautiful corgi! Sadly I don't think Toby will keep his black mask, but I'm excited to see how his coat will change in color.

  • Corgi lover! (Misty)

    LOL I am very lucky that Oreo is a very mellow dog! He just likes to lounge around the house. He loves to run outside but once he's inside he just likes to find a nice quiet spot to lay down. That is if Chesney will let him...lol she's quite a terror. And Oreo hardly ever barks! It's so nice..lol. He only barks when someone comes to the house or tries to come into the yard without our ok. But as soon as we tell him it's ok he quiets down. He's such a good dog. Hope he teaches Chesney some of those traits...lol.
