About Me:
Claudine Petunia Porkchop is my first dog! I fell in love with Corgis thanks to the interest of my boyfriend. We wanted a Corgi and a rescue dog, and when we came across Claudine online via petfinder, it was love at first sight. She has the head of an ACD and the body and personality of a Corgi. LITTLE LEGS RULE! :)

I am finishing up a doctoral degree in Public Health/Epidemiology and the student lifestyle gives me lots of time to spend with her - if you live in or around Boston, would love to meet up for a Corgi playdate!
About My Corgi(s):
I am half Corgi and half Australian cattledog. I am a 2 years old-ish and I'm told I "have a lot of personality!" That's a compliment, right? :P My true birthdate is unknown but my mom assigned July 4th since everyone at the shelter called me a "little firecracker."

I have a lot of Corgi traits, like my chicken-frog legs, affinity for belly rubs, thinking I am a lot bigger than I am and I also speak fluent Corgi (our favorite youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tvwqTfES3o). I also LOVE to herd things and my mom says I can go to herding school some day. I've been told I am "bossy." My vet says it's a Corgi thing? Harumph!

I was found walking the streets of Tennessee, and brought to a shelter where nobody came to claim me (can you believe it?!?!). I was one day away from being euthanized :'''(. Luckily somebody fostered me, and when I was advertised on a rescue dog website, my mom snatched me up and I was brought up North and raised as a Red Sox fan. love snow and city living, but am a country girl at heart.

I go to doggie school here (www.nedtc.org) which is a wonderful place run by the amazing Marjie who also gives me private tutoring to help my mom and I work together.

My nickname is "The Dean" since I live at a college with my mom who is a resident advisor and I am the boss, mascot, and best friend of all the college kids who live in our dorm.
