About Me:: My husband I are retired, and live on the beach. We love to swim, hike, and travel in our camper. Our wonderful Tag (see below) loved to do all that we love to do, including swimming in the sound.

Welsh Corgi Breeder?: No

About My Corgi(s):: Our wonderful tri-colored Pem went to the bridge on Feb. 13, at the age of nearly 13. We miss him sorely. I can't imagine replacing him, but can't live without another corgi. In the fall, we hope to get another.

I have:: No corgi

stairs?

Posted on October 14, 2009 at 10:16am 4 Comments 0 Likes

After 8 corgiless months, we picked up our baby yesterday. He is so sweet and
affectionate, a very good boy. I was awake all night waiting for him to wake up and
need to leave the crate. He slept and I didn't! I have a question: This pup is 3 months
and the breeder told me no stairs until he's 6 months. This is hard as we live in a
split level, but we'll go along unless we hear differently on good authority. Anyone
else have experience with this?

Yes, Al & Gwynn are musical; Al yodels and they composed a song:
Little Dog Blues
This contain a link to the Jimmy Rogers original; why don't you record it and post it here after you teach your little guy to yodel /howl on cue? It also has a YouTube cut of Lightning Hopkins' "Lonesome Dog Blues" (I just got that record at a garage sale).

Al's sire was Carrie's Carey Grant, and the dam was owned by ...drawing a blank, I have her name on my puter at home... but I think she may have been on Vashon or in that area... Carrie took that litter over when there was some family emergency.

Let's see... I ran into somebody on the West Fork Foss R trail who recognized Al as resembling their dog named... Gadabout? Runabout? something like that, and it was one of Carrie's. No! Maybe it was Tagalong, the friend you just lost!? I think I remember him saying something about the dog getting on in years and arthritic or something. Yes, I'm almost positive.
That was the trip when I got the photo of Al on Iron Cap Mtn., Mr. December in the 2009 MyCorgi.com calendar.
Have a great life with your new friend! Say hi to Carrie for us next time you talk. Maybe we'll see you on the trail soon.
Carrie's dogs have radiant personalities:

At 10:14pm on April 13, 2009, Marion and Vern said…: Welcome. You will never replace your Tag, it only shows what a big whole he left in your heart when he departed. We lost our Tedi 12/29/08 and knew in about a week and a half we had to have another Corgi. Didn't mean we were replacing him just have a lot of love to share with another now that we don't have him. I hope you find the corgi this fall. Best of luck.
