Profile Information:

Hometown:: Wisconsin
About Me:: Ex-teacher, currently working in a shelter doing adoptions. Multi-dog home. Empty nest, and pups threaten to take the place of missing children. Heaven help me!
Welsh Corgi Breeder?: No
About My Corgi(s):: Lilliput is 2 years old, smartest dog I have ever met. Quite a challenge to a former beagle owner! After much trial and error, I have found that Agility classes are her passion. She shares her home with an old Springer Spaniel who lets her chew on him, and and occasionally with a coon hound pup who REALLY needs some discipline from her.
I have:: Pembroke

Hi Julia, I was looking for Corgi owners in the Madison area and found you. We moved to Madison last year and got our Corgi, Lucy, in February. Maybe sometime we can get a group of Corgis together.

Hi Julia,

Regarding Daisy, it was the original owners who told the shelter that she was spayed. Shame, shame!! She seems to be happy now, not so timid and shy as Jane had indicated. It was my cat who jumped on the bed to greet the new addition. Daisy was not aggressive at all, I think she's never had physical contact with cats and didn't know how to react. Max is such a friendly cat he didn't see her as a threat at all and I think Daisy picked up on that. Last night they all slept together. . .cute!

Hi Julia, I just joined the healing and therapy group and read that you had left your teaching job about a year ago. Have you gone back? I quit work a year ago and became "permanenty" disabled (gvmt standards) in December. If it weren't for the dogs and this website I would be going crazy - I barely walk. I hope you are doing well.

I love your picture poster from the Capital Protest. I totally agree with you.

We live in Madison. Our wild guy corgi, Walter is 1 1/2. We have a wonderful 11 year old yellow lab named Harvey. We had a 13 year old springer spaniel named Petey that passed away in Oct of 2010. Walter put a lot of life back into Petey during his last year of life.

Too bad you don't have any pics on here of your cute little petite girl.

I've heard rumors that the faeries, who really, really value their privacy, have successfully hushed-up any scientific inquiries that might reveal their existence. Allegedly, the chief editor of Nature has been given a corgi puppy; it's very suspicious.

Lucy & Ricky (Wendy/Jack )

Julia, I never thought I'd see the day when they'd sleep side-to-side. It's taken about a year and a half, and it's not an every day thing, yet. But R is a snuggler. He snuggles with Jack and me at every oppty and he's persistent. I guess that night he wore Lucy down, haha.

Lucy & Ricky (Wendy/Jack )

My guess is that it will get better over time. I never expected Lucy to tolerate Ricky as well as she's been doing lately. But, he just has always loved her and never gives up, haha.

Julia: I just saw your question- sploot is when a corgi lays on their belly with their back legs sticking out. when Snickers first hurt her knee she tried to get into this position and couldn't, so I was pleased when she was feeling better later and could do so. Many silly corgi words are found on corgiaddict.com. Sploot is found in the urban dictionary: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=sploot&defid=234...

Julia,

I hope I have the right Corgi Mom. I wanted to get some information about the Corgi Stole you wore to the Wisconsin Corgi Picnic yesterday. I should have thought to get a photo of it, but I blew it. Can you load up a picture of yours? Can you think of other things that might help me creat one for myself? Things that might help... Size of finished scarf, yarn you used (brand & color), needle size, any tips. I believe you did it as a tube. Did you write down any of your ideas while working on it?

I have been thinking about it since I left the picnic.

Thanks for any assistance you can give me.

Thanks, Julia.

I don't check MyCorgi everyday either, so I just saw your message.

I have been wanting to make a Corgi scarf since I saw yours. I was so cute! I have not started yet because I am doing crocheting and knitting for our local humane society. However, soon I will have some time to make something for myself. I thought if I could get info from you about yarns and such it would make this project a lot easier. (And cheaper since I won't buy things that don't work and have to buy more and more yarn.)

I know I will have to modify it because I have 2 TRI color Corgis. I was trying to estimate the finished length and what size needles, etc. So please send any info you can. Also, did you knit it in a tube? Do you want my E-mail address? Thanks so much for any help you can give.

Julia,

Have you dug up any ideas or yarn choices for the Corgi scarf that you can send me?

I thought I might try to work on it over the Christmas break.

I'll take any advice you can share. Love to see a photo of your masterpiece as well.

Thanks, Lisa

Hi, Julia. I have not checked my page for a while, so I just found your message.

Thanks for the info. I have been so busy knitting and crocheting other items that I have not started the Corgi idea yet, so this will be a big help.

I am having trouble with the pattern address that you sent me. Please send the pictures that you said you have and the web address for the pattern that got you started to...

CorgiK9s@aol.com

I will have to modify this even more since I have tri-colored Corgis.

Thanks for taking the time to help me.

Thanks so much for bringing me the pattern for the Corgi scarf.

School just started, so I have not been doing much knitting or crocheting. Maybe I'll get back to it when things settle down.

It was nice visiting with you. It seems that the time went too fast at the picnic. There were several people that I only got a few minutes to talk with and then it was time to take a picture, eat, or raffle off prizes. I felt so rushed. I wish we would have had more time to visit.

One of the people there had a Corgi that looked so much like my Wynne. When we talked we discovered that this boy was the nephew of Wynne & Will. Very exciting.

Hope to see you at next year's picnic.
