Animal lovers extraordinaire!
About My Corgi(s):
Our Mia was born on June 26, 2005. We rescued her from an abusive situation when she was 1.5 years old. She is a gorgeous purebred, petite, athletic, and extremely intelligent Pembroke Welsh Corgi. We've put a LOT of time, money and energy into training her because she obviously had a rough start in life. She was never socialized properly as she was kept in a crate for the entire day, day after long day, for the first year and a half of her precious life!!! She is still a problem for us in public because she's aggressive with all other dogs. She is 110% sweet and gentle with ALL humans, but doesn't like other dogs. This is our biggest problem with our Mia. We also have a purebred long-haired standard dachshund puppy named Sadie. They get along very well ... sometimes, but Mia started being very aggressive toward Sadie a few months ago. So, off to the trainer again! Wow! It's been quite a challenge, but I'm happy to report that our love and diligence has paid off. We seem to have turned a corner with Mia's aggression toward Sadie. Now, they're playing together very well, but I ALWAYS have one eye on Mia, and I think I always will. We love both of them and we are devoted parents. Mia needs a very firm hand, a true pack leader, or she gets way too bossy! She will definitely take over this family, IF we aren't on our toes with her. She knows I mean business -- Drill Sargeant Mommy -- and she has responded to the new boundaries we have set for her. It's been a challenge, but a great learning experience for us. Looking forward to hearing more about all of you and your little darlings :-)

Hi Susan/Jack,

I have started working with a trainer to start getting over my male corgi's aggression which is also due to lack of socialization. Can you tell me what your trainer has had you do? I've only had one session and we are having our 2nd session tomorrow. I am excited about doing this- I think it makes for happier dogs! I would really love to hear about your experience.

Thanks!

Hi Susan and Jack. I am sorry that we are so late in writing back but the last two weeks we have been working non-stop. When I said that we brought you some new neighbors that is just what we did. We are contractors with United Van Lines in household moving. We love the south eastern coast but have not had the oppurtunity to visit in a couple of months. The last was to Isle of Palms N.C. That is a bit north of you though. We are in L.A. today but heading back to Texas (Houston) in the morning.

I just got a pup, and one of the main things I want to do with her is to teach her to kayak... I'm so happy to see your pictures~! How did it work out? Did you do any training leading up to her getting in the boat?

Welcome! It is so heartwarming that you have put so much of your heart into Mia! Great pictures! I love the life jacket. Emily doesn't swim so well. Maybe she would like the water more with a life jacket to help her out.

Welcome Susan, Jack, Sadie & Mia! Wonderful how you have helped Mia overcome her earlier years to be the best dog she can be. We have issues with our dog but opposite of Mia. Scared of people and loves dogs. We start obedience in Sept to help train her and me to overcome some issues.

We brought you a new neighbor recently. Just up the beach a bit St Simon Island. What a beautful area!

Hello Susan and Jack welcome to you and your good looking pair of pups. Great photos!!! Does Sadie also like to go for rides on the kayak?

Hi Jenni and Dave! Your Spencer is quite a handsome boy, and so is that lovely lab looking fella. We're having some fun exploring this site, especially meeting new Corgi friends, viewing photos and reading stories. I've been so distracted and entertained, I haven't done a bit of work today. Shh...don't tell! ;-)
