  • Nicole, Stanley and STELLA!

    Hello and welcome to the site! I have a friend who teaches drawing at Tech. I'm actually finishing my PhD in English--TESOL/Applied Linguistics and I teach English and Spanish as second languages in a small university in MD.
  • Nicole, Stanley and STELLA!

    I know, I really enjoy the time I'm able to spend with her and I'm not looking forward to the transition, either. At my university we're not allowed to bring our pets to the office at all, so I'm going to have to come home between classes to feed her and take her out. I teach all four of my classes on MWF in the fall and I have a two hour break after the first two. Luckily, I live really close to campus. Tuesday and Thursday will be much better since I'll just have to go in for office hours and the occasional meeting.

    Madoc is so cute! Stella actually had a brother that looked a lot like him. Stella's father is a tri-color. How are the puppy kindergarten classes going? I plan on taking Stella soon. Have you done anything with agility? I went to a local AKC meeting yesterday and they have weekly agility practice at a nearby farm. I plan on taking Stella on Wednesday for the first time!

    Thanks, I think he's cute, too. This is the picture that the breeder sent me, I can't wait to see him in person. We haven't confirmed a name yet, but I'm thinking "Harley".

    Happy B-day to Madoc! It is amazing how much him and Shirp look alike except the color of course.
  • Joanna, Rainy and Calvin

    Algy would like to thank you for noticing his cuteness in his hat. He's an old man though - your little guy is a young'in! I kinda miss the days of puppydom, but in some ways, I am glad they are over. I love the picture you took of Madoc in those flowers. Lovely! Corgis are the greatest!! And your guy is a cutie! Well, I should say 'handsome!'
  • Madog

    Your boy is a doll. But I must confess poor Madog had his named changed to Johnson (I have some weirdly inappropriate friends with odd senses of humor). I finally gave up and started calling him Johnson as well. And then another friend saw a commentator on TV named Peter James Johnson, Jr. So naturally his named was expanded to that. Watch Madoc at 9 to 12 months. That is when I temporarily changed Madog/Johnson's name to Spawn of Satan. What a little brat he was.
  • Elizabeth Faye Perrin

    Thank you for the tip! I am so glad we found him. I just want to make him as happy has he has made me
  • Randi

    Thanks Kathryn. Your puppy looks so cute!! I'm miss my Cocoa so much. I bought her from a show kennel when she was a year old. She was out of a UK import champion. She is from the Honeyfox line. A bargain at $500. I was so disappointed to find out how much puppies are these days. Only 1/3 of what I paid for a horse. My husband would never let me spend that on a dog :(

    Happy 9 months to Madoc!

    Hi Kathryn,
    It's such a relief to know that Shiro is normal size. I read that normal male corgi is 27lb, but he kinda slowed down his growth and everyone else seems bigger. He was the smallest boy in the litterso it's good to know that he's now about the same as Madoc.
    He's definitely getting less exercise now, but I try to play at home as much as I can and take him to a small dog park once a week.
    I do email Carrie every once in a while. We're planning on sending her a greeting card with Shiro and Santa (check out the new picture).
  • Megan and Penelope

    Madoc looks a lot like my Penelope did when she was a pup. She's lost a lot of the black on her head and her little white stripe on her forehead. He is super cute, though I guess I am a little biased!
  • Kevin and Buddy!

    I just noticed your question in our Blog. We got him in WV from Humnbird Corgi. We were originally going to try Dalarno, but WV is actually closer to us than Culpepper. It worked out very well as the littler was born in mid nov when we moved into our new place. Gave us plenty of time to settle in and get through the holidays before bringing him home. :)
  • Edward and Gemima

    I love that first picture of Madoc in the snow!! He is going to have his first B-day soon, are you doing anything special????
  • Edward and Gemima

    Oh, yes that would be the ultimate B-day present for Madoc a new bro or sis to play with. I love having two of them at a time and I wish I could have more.....
