About Me:
Computer Geek. Got my first dog (Henry) at winter solstice the year I turned 50. I've shared my life with many cats over the years and had no knowledge of dog stewardship. I figured cats/dogs can't be too different, therefore; Henry had a huge pot belly the first few days he came home. I just put food down and let him eat whenever he wanted, and boy did he want.

The next thing I learned is that dogs aren't self training when it comes to going out. Poor Henry was so confused for at least two years. Until a new friend began training me.
Welsh Corgi Breeder?
No

About My Corgi(s):
Henry is a Corgi cross and the greatest dog in the world. When I wake up in the morning I'm greeted by this nose under my chin and body across my chest. We have to do loves for at least 5 minutes before he will let me get out of bed.

Henry does have velcro dog problem and the two times I've left him for more than a few hours he has refused to eat/drink or even get out of his chair. He now has an Aunt in his life that he trusts enough to take him to the coast without me along. He will take treats from her and will even eat dinner if she's around when I'm gone.

Until Henry came into my life I didn't know the meaning of unconditional love (to receive or to give) but he has given me that gift also. What a great guy he is, even at those times when we disagree on how things should be.
I have:
Corgi mix

    I was reading an old post that you had written about how it is hard when you have a great first dog and then the second one is not so easy. Murphy has always been so easy and I got him from the shelter at 4.5 years old. My puppy Molly really tries my patience, she is a bit nearotic too.

    Glad to come across your page. Lol, it's always nice to see another corgi mix with the "floppy" ears like my dog has. Hazel does like Henry and usually has one up and one down when she's looking UP at ya. It's so adorable!
