We have a farm in Southern Indiana - Seven Oaks -and raise quarter horses. We have had several rescue dogs, horses and cats over the past 20 years, but Hillary is our first Corgle.
In the real world we are a gerontologist who works for a national non-profit and a second career music therapist working at a senior wellness center while finishing a music therapy program and a Master's degree in Exeptionalities - working with pre-k children.
About My Corgi(s):
Our Corgi is a recent rescue - actually a Corgle (Cardigan Corgi and Beagle) and just an amazing little character. We named her Hillary because she has spunk and a never say never attitude.
When we met her at the rescue center we were told she was low energy, very quiet and shy with other dogs. Right! That was Hilary's incarcerated personality. After less than 6 hours at Seven Oaks she came out of her shell and showed us her true spritely personality.
She runs and circles and displays affection and looks for affirmation that she is loved. We think she must know she is home.
Brodey hates the weather down here in the summer. He does not want to be outside at all. He is pretty spoiled so he stays in the AC all day. If we have to leave him for more than 6 hours, we have it setup to where he has a doggie door outside to an exterior air conditioned storage area.
Are you moving the whole farm down here? I grew up around quarter horses. That is where I met my first Corgi. She worked at the boarding stable. Her job was to bring in the horses when it was time to feed. Does Hillary herd?
I do have more pics of Clyde, but have been having some computer issues that I hope will be solved by the time the weekend is over by switching to Mac once and for all! As soon as I am able to be online without wanting to throw the laptop out the window, I will happily post more ;-)
Yeah, Clyde can be stubborn sometimes... until I whip a treat out of my pocket then he'll comply with just about anything. Herding the big dogs at the park is his fave activity along with barking at them. Loudly. But he doesn't bark at all at home which is nice.
