Hi, Rebecca!  I actually did pick Cocosette up one of those stuffed balls,  a stuffed tiger with squeakers in the feet, which she loves to attack, and a stuffed hedgehog that gets the same treatment, lol. All from Petco.  I put away the Dentastix and the Nylabones for down the line but I definitely need to get more things for her to chew on, things that will keep her busy.  She's getting nippy and those little teeth of hers smart.  Oh, and I got her a kong.  I'd appreciate any suggestions to help curb the nipping, my hands are getting sore!

I'm loving that pic of Teddy on the rock at the lake.  I own a pontoon and we spend pretty much every weekend on the water.  Teddy looks like a sweetheart. :o)

I've been avoiding unpacking, so here you go: http://www.mycorgi.com/photo/teddycellshade-1?context=album&alb...

Thanks for the BD wish Rebecca had a wonderful day took all three to the beach for a swim! Teddy looks so happy being a water corgi ! :)

Its nice to meet you! Teddy looks like a real good corgi!! We still have to get Trigger out camping so we can get him swimming!!!

Teddy is adorable. I was in the Air Force for 4 1/2 years, recently separated.

Hi Rebecca & Teddy!
Hope all is going well for you both!
I'm sorry I haven't been around much! Please forgive me. I haven't been on My corgi for a very long time. It's been a rough first of the year for our family. We lost my step dad early in the year and  my sister lost her second dog to bone cancer so I'm playing catch up !  WE"RE BACK! So thank you for the messages that I was to sorry to answer! I am truly grateful for the birthday wishes so long ago and keeping me up on Teddy and the tug-a -jug! All the best Lori, Callie & Cooper

Oh, Good Heavens!  You think I'm asking you that question!  No! No! No! That title is to myself, on why I'm jumping in to a person I've never met's business and feeling the nerve to offer advice!  I've never been compelled to write a blog before, but I was so moved and needed to reach out to you that I took the leap into the WEB.  (I mean, I don't even have a Facebook page...)  So perhaps my title should have been Why Am I Writing This.  Or Why I Feel the Need to Butt In.  Or maybe I've Been In A Similar Spot and Here's How I Got Through It.  It was in no way meant to question why you would write yours.  When we lost Audrey, I thought about having a shirt made; I got so annoyed with people telling me to have a nice day; could they not see that my heart had been ripped from chest?  

And you are right about the hazards of plastic bags.  About 3 weeks after we got Gracie, she stuck her head in a steel frame meant to hold rolled-up technical drawings- sort of like a a wine bottle rack but made out of a 4" x 4" steel sqares.  My husband was drafting about 4 feet away from her and he turned to find her thrashing around. She'd stuck her pointed little head right in the hole, but when she tried to back out, she was stuck tight.  We had to get a bolt cutter to get her out.   Why did she stick her head in there in the first place?  Because it was a hole.  And Corgis are curious about everything.  And a bag is a portable hole.

I read somewhere that a dog's purpose is to catch all the surplus love in our hearts.  There's somebody out there waiting to catch yours. And that's why I wrote this. For you and for that somebody.

I lost my Corgi Annie way too young, also. It is always so awful losing a beloved Corgi and I honestly don't know which is harder. I know all too well that feeling of coming home and not having a precious 4-legged friend's greeting. I thank you so much for sharing your loss with us. I am now cutting every bag before putting it in the garbage. I hope that it helps in some way to know that you may have saved other pets by telling this story.

Rebecca, I've had Corgis my whole life & that's a long time. I have kids probably your age. Some have lived til 14, like Dylan; yet his best friend and litter mate, Emily, was killed by a careless groomer at 7. Almost immediately after Dylan died we got Lucy––best decision we ever made. The grief was too much. Jack witnessed our 2 1/2 yr old Annie get hit by a car in front of our house, for which he was filled with guilt. She was the girl "that never left his side" until that one day. I hope you guys do not feel guilt. It's clear how loved Teddy was and that you'd never do anything to put him in danger. All of our Corgis love to get into trash and bags that smell of FOOD. It was a freak accident. But, as I said earlier, one that will be remembered by all that read your story & save other lives. I started a group "Corgis Remembered" as a tribute to my Corgis over the years. Of course the early Corgis were before digital cameras, and I have yet to gather the energy and find really good photos and scan them. There are still untold stories. My heart goes out to you and I know that you have touched the hearts of so many members. Teddy brought great joy to all who saw his happy face and watched him grow up. I too imagine Teddy making friends with many fine Corgis, young and old at the rainbow bridge.

We are so sorry for you and your husband's loss. I still remember just joining Mycorgi with Napolean and you were one of my first friends :) Tears are shed in remeberence of Teddy. He was a gorgous and loving corgi, and he still is. Though you cannot see him no corgi can ever leave one's heart. Even though you are grieving for him you should not grieve too long, for I can guess Teddy wants what is best for his companion, and that is to move on and enjoy life. We send our prayers to you and your husband. R.I.P ~Teddy~

Just thinking about you. How are you doing? Noodles sends his corgi kisses and hugs to you and your husband.

Hi Rebecca I just wanted to say I hope you are doing o.k.

Don't worry. I didn't expect a response. I know how hard this time is for you and just wanted you to know that I'm here and have been through this. I'm glad you're thinking about another Corgi.

Thinkin about Your Family and sending corgi kisses :).Just saw You all are thinking about breeders in Your area.I know how quiet a house is without doogie tags clicking and those greetings at the front door!!Take care,and I hope all goes well with Your new search.

"You're welcome" Rebecca! How are you doing? Soooo sorry you have to go through this!

Rebecca, we are so so sorry about Teddy. I can't even imagine the pain you are going through and I want you to know it will get easier and he is right with you all the time. Please don't rush into getting another one though until your grieving is over. Just wait until you know you are both ready again. I know it will take some time, it's not easy losing your best friend. Lots of Corgi kisses sent your way.

oh yes, i would love that- thank you.  It's not to often i meet another Rebecca, and that love corgis.

Merry Christmas to you and your husband. I hope you have a wonderful visit with your familiy. If you feel up to it, hopefully you can all share some wonderful memories of Teddy. Thinking of you often. Corgi kisses from Noodles.

I'm glad you had a wonderful Christmas and that you all could share wonderful memories of Teddy. I have to admit, reading your latest post about Dollar and your new little boy brought tears of joy to my eyes. I'm so happy for you and that you found two new little buddies. I can't wait to see pictures of them both. They both won't replace Teddy, but they sure will bring joy back in to your household.

Congrats on the new puppy you guys! Dollar and your pup will be a great addition :) I'm sure his name will come to you. Scout is really cute too!

It looks like Dollar is going to be a daddy's girl and nothing wrong with that. They are both so cute and I know Teddy would be so happy. He brought both of them in to your household.

Congrats on you new fur kids!! Lots and lots of corgi kiss coming your way :))

reading your great news brought tears to my eyes~

I think the new additions to your family are fantastic!  You obviously have so much love to give and you shouldn't wait to give it!  Good luck with them and God bless. 

I am so thankful that you have found good little buddies.  Each has its own different personality.

Your pup is adorable. Good luck.

Wasn't yesterday the big day of getting Scout? I was thinking you had said the 19th, but I couldn't remember. If you do have both your babies now, how are things going? Give both Dollar and Scout belly rubs from me and kisses from Noodles.

I know You're tired of hearing this but,PICTURES COMING SOON WE HOPE???Can't wait to see the new furbabies at home together :)

Hope all is well.  We got a new dog last Sat. His name is Gizmo. He is 4 and we are sure enjoying him with Grace.  Hope your Corgis and cats and getting along fine.  Waiting for pics.

Thank you for the friend add :) They are gorgeous pups, thank you <3

Thank you for the friend's request, Rebecca.

Thanks for the well wishes for Tommy!!! :) Is Baden going to be a therapy dog like Teddy was? Tom is definitely too ornery for such an endeavor! 

I understand completely! Tommy is always "forgetting" his training as well haha. I'm also considering agility ... i'd love to do herding but I can't find anywhere around here that offers it! Please keep us posted on Baden's activities! :)

Baden is such a beautiful and happy boy.  Good luck.
