I found my daughter to be in a pound from a rescue group . I had never heard of a corgi before that day.She was my only family for many years .Then I met my future wife at work .In my heart was a deep love for the little wiggly dog that saved my sanity and a woman that completed me .When the two girls met I was nervous and worried that they would not like each other . 4 years later we are wed and joined with a little bundle of joy that came to us on Christmas .Now our family is almost complete... Two corgis in the same house and our sanity is nowhere to be found.
Yes, I'm Married with Corgi's.
About My Corgi(s):
If only our newest arrival, Rolo (an adorable little boy Tri-color) was met with as much enthusiasm by Sadie (an equally adorable Tri) as my wife was when she and Sadie first met.
Like children, they bicker and fight and we are often taking up the role of mediator, bodyguard, toy recoverer and "she's too close to my food dish", "he took my squeeky toy. " Maybe it's the age difference... maybe it has to do with the elder being a rescue... or maybe it's time for the ol' snip snip on the little boy... but we can't keep running interception for the rest of their lives or we won't have one of our own! Any advice on cohabitating corgis is welcome!!!
Rolo will be getting fixed in 2 weeks.
I really hope it will make him more docile and calm down a bit.
I also hope it will ease the tension between him and Sadie .
She currently shys away from him when the 2 are loose in the kitchen.
She growls when he starts to sniff a bit too long at her butt.
I just wish they would get along .
Hey fellow SC corgi owner!! I love you 'about me' section. I'm not married to my corgi, but he's definately my boyfriend:) Keeps me out of trouble...ha ha. Your corgis are beautiful!
Hi, and thanks for your note about Morna. We went to PetSmart today and got her a bed, a leash, food bowls, a few toys and I bought "Puppies for Dummies" to refresh myself. It's been more than 30 years since we had a puppy. She was a Dalmation and really HARD to train. I understand that the Corgis can be on the "mind of their own" track, so thought I could use all the help I could get. She will be 9 weeks old by the time she gets here and I guess I will have to start right in on the training. Any thoughts or suggestions? How far is Anderson from Myrtle Beach? (I'm a Yankee... originally from Philadelphia, in MB for about 6 years now.)
I have been letting them wiggle around during the day while I nap from from working graveyard shift . The kitchen is closed off with the 2 sniffing around. Rolo triess to play with Sadie , but she just kinda sits there making low warning growls. I am really proud of Rolo with his interactions with Sadie. Sadie is older and kinda of set in her ways, but is coming out of her shell with walks and playtime with Rolo .
They played at the lake a few days ago and there are some new photos.
I am hoping your kiddo's are getting along better! I know the feeling. I just introduced a male rescue and it was WWIII for about 3 days- it is a little bit of a cold war now and the only thing that causes strife is my mother's maltese and the stray rawhide chew!
Well .... a slight update.
I am trying to get Rolo and Sadie to interact more and more but my wife is still really jumpy about an attack . I on the other hand let them run around after they have enough play time. Other than a slight nimble on Sadie's ear nothing major.Rolo just loves her company and she cannot stand him. More updates to come .
