We are an old married couple with two great teenagers, several cats, and reptiles. I (Amy) am a cat person but have always been attracted to corgis and want to give this whole dog thing a try. Maybe I'll become a corgi person too.
Welsh Corgi Breeder?
No
About My Corgi(s):
Our corgi was born on March 8, 2009. His name is Farley and he is absolutely the best dog ever!
Sami is short for Samantha, she's a little girl. I started our puppy count down at 40 days. We are calling tomorrow Samiday. She is being flown in from Ohio and I am a basket case. In about 25 hours we will be picking her up at the airport. But yes we can compare notes and all that fun stuff. Our breeder says she already knows her name, comes when she is called and behaves pretty good you know for an 8 week old. Are you all kicking any names around yet for your new fur baby?
As a family, we are name-challenged. One of our cats is named Little Kit because we couldn't come up with anything we all agreed on that suited her better. So, we're really trying with this pup. We've considered Griffin - my husband works with someone named Griff, so that's out. My son want Troller - then he'd be called Troll, so that's out. I want Jem - after the character in To Kill a Mockingbird, but no one likes that, we considered Rufus, but it rhymes with Doofus. Still at a loss...
ahhh the name game. Such fun. My husband had a dream that said name it Sam or Samantha, she wasn't even born yet. Plus I wanted something that had mom dog and dad dog letters in it boom two letters from each you got Sami. Thanks for the wish for tomorrow.
Congratulations on your new baby! I know how excited you must be. We just got Murphy back at the end of February and we were so excited, it was like bringing home a new baby. Good luck on the name search and hope everything goes well when you go to pick him up. :o)
Thanks for the comment and encouragement. Actually everything else is going on great...thanks to Wendy, the breeder. You can tell she put a lot of time in with the pups and we are now reaping the rewards. Not much longer and it will be mid-May and you will have your bundle of joy. How exciting! What all have you bought so far for the pup?
I stopped cat chasing immediately when the corgis were puppies. A firm, dramatic No will work. Now I have noticed the cats starting the chase game but it is much more respectful (the corgis don't jump on them and take turns being chased) If the no doesn't work a leashed corgi (or doberman) stops everything!
Thanks, that's my grandson. Unfortunately they moved to Texas last year so he is not over much anymore but he really liked our animals. Whenever we talk to him on Skype he wants to see them. Good luck with your beautiful puppy!
Oh this will be such fun for you then! At times it gets a bit over whelming but boy is it ever worth it. The love, companionship and loyalty you are given is like none other. Just remind yourself that they are exactly like a baby, only they do grow up faster. So remember to enjoy each day because before you know it they will be an adult dog. Take lots and lots of pictures and video....and don't forget to share them. Can't wait to see them with him in his forever home :) !
oh how CUUUUTE!!!!! Good luck with that adorable little guy! I'm both a corgi AND cat person now :) Four of my cats (all indoor cats) were horrified by the puppy at first; the puppy barked at them and chased them. The fifth is a registered therapy cat who deals with dogs all the time at nursing homes, and both accepted and ignored him. Eventually my youngest - also a therapy cat but startled by this invader - became his pal. The other three.... well, it's still iffy. :) Still, nobody has ever scratched him that I know of, and he's never hurt them in return! He thinks they are funny meowing puppies, I think....
Good luck! (I had a bunch of welsh names in mind originally .... but ended up with Frodo! I did think that Grendel would have been cute, and considered it carefully....)
You are in for such fun this summer! Congrats on your addition! Love and spoil him rotten, but make him behave as well. Corgis can take over before you know it!
He's adorable!
Odin was born on Sept 12th:) my default is the only pic i have of him right now, she will send more as he gets older. The breeder called me to tell me that another person called to buy the dog. Since I inquired first she asked if i wanted it, so right then, that second i had to say yes or no...i said yes:) or "i want the puppy" lol. I graduate school in a few months, so i will be out of my aunts hair. Plus Odin will be with me at my boyfriends house since i am there so much lol.
Rachel has been helping me out so much:) I bought his crate yesterday, and his first puppy Kong toy. The breeder told me that I am allowed to go to the Corgi Picnic, will you be there? He will only be 9 weeks at that point soIi have to keep him on the blanket with me.
I get to visit him at 6 weeks, and he comes home on Nov 6th!!!:):)
..I am driving my boyfriend nuts because i can't take the smile off my face lol
