- About My Corgi(s):
- Gromit was born in September of '09. He is the third Corgi I've been owned by and what he lacks in a tail he makes up for with his tongue. Gromit is named for the super smart dog "Gromit" in the "Wallace & Gromit" movie series from the UK. Our newest family member is Sparkle, a female Corgi, who was born in January of 2012. Sparkle is as bright and happy as her name. Her brother Rocky is on MyCorgi, too: http://mycorgi.com/profile/RRG

It was close, there were times when Sparkle was being potty trained that I was ready to give her back to her breeder but she made it and as you can see she's grown into a beautiful girl. She's got a big personality and is 100% luv bug who can never get enough attention.…

Hi there Uncle Doug! Mom found this post "what they say about corgi shedding just isn't true"...
It sounds like Waffles, the corgi in the post, is doing a great job on blowing his coat. I only hope I can become a champion coat blower as well! <3 Thanks again for all the great photos you sent Mom. I really want to meet sister Sparkles and Uncle Gromit, maybe this year we will find a way to come together...
Has Sparkles blown her coat yet? I just made the switch from puppy to adult food in February and Mom wonders if the dog food is aiding in my extreme furring efforts.
Frappy hugs & kisses!
-RRG!
How is Cosmo dog park in Gilbert for you?
Hey Hey! What do you think if we make the meet up officially in Ahwatukee? Could you help me advertise it for the Tucson or just southern Arizona in general?
I love your pictures of your dogs.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPARKLE!! <3
