- About Me:
- I am a full-time criminology student, and a mother, and a lover of all things corgi! I grew up with a corgi named Douglas, who was actually a year older than I was, and died when I was 16. 2 months ago, I adopted a female corgi, who was already named connie, which I lengthened to Constance, but call her kahn most of the time.
She has become an integral part of my family unit, and I don't know what we'd do without her. She's my bestfriend!! - Welsh Corgi Breeder?
- Yes

- About My Corgi(s):
- Connie was rescued from Robeson County, North Carolina, where she was being held at the kill shelter after having been picked up wandering in the country. The shelter she was at, was a stab shelter, and she spent two weeks witnessing the dogs around her being stabbed in the chest by employees of the shelter. Luckily, my mother in law who works for a rescue group called the shelter and asked for the next three dogs, about to be put down. They gave her connie, and one other dog. Immediately she called me and said "i have a dog I think you'd like!", when I got there, and I met connie for the first time, we bonded so instantly that I knew we were really meant to be. Even though I wasn't actively seeking to adopt at that time, I knew I couldn't turn my back on Connie. So, my boyfriend gave her to me as a present for graduating from college.
When connie was rescued, she had just given birth to puppies (although they were not picked up by animal control), and her milk was so heavy that her nipples were literally dragging the ground. She was very sad, and exhausted, and she had a skin condition which the vet concludes came from poor living conditions and malnutrition. Although the rescue group was very careful to wait until connie's milk had dried up sufficiently to have her spayed, there were still complications with her incision.
Between the two of us (connie and i) we were able to keep it clean enough and closed often enough that she healed slowly but surely.
Connie is now very happy, and totally healed, although it's still very evident that she's had children. We are still working on this skin condition but it's not contagious, and it isn't viral or bacterial, and it isn't an infestation so we are OK.
Now connie has become second in command around the house, and she helps in anyway she can think of. Although she is a wondering and caring animal, she has moments where she worries, and when she worries she chews.
Connie isn't much of a gaurd dog, because she's a lover. But she loves cats and other small furry animals that she can snuggle up next to. - I have:
