My husband and I are empty nesters and wanted a dog to help keep us active and to keep us company. We both work full time, but love coming home to our new little bundle of joy!
Welsh Corgi Breeder?
No
About My Corgi(s):
Nellie was born 7-7-08 and she is our first puppy! She is teaching us so much about patience and consistency . . . . . we are starting training classes tomorrow!
Thought it was time to update a little bit as Nellie is now a little over 8 months old. We've been to Puppy Kindergarten and Obedience Training and have found a wonderful trainer . . . . . who trained me as well as Nellie! I knew we were in for a long session when she asked us on the first visit: " what made you choose this particular breed?"! Nellie is a little head strong, but she is a quick learner and we have mastered, sit, heel, and down both inside and outside. Boy did "down" outside take a long time! We are continually working on "stay" with varied success. This totally depends on what or who may be making noises near her when she is trying to stay. In some ways, it's pretty funny to watch! She is also learning some cute little tricks like shake, roll over, and go to sleep. And again, working with her is so much fun as she is a quick student . . . . . especially when there is a treat in the offering!
Her favorite toy is her 10" herding ball and she can really get it moving!
We continue to have a lot of fun with her and it is so nice to come home to that smiling little face.
I'm thinking our next meeting could be May 9th or 10th, which would be Saturday or Sunday. We can meet at my house and have a small cook-out. I have a baby pool out for the guys to cool off in, but if you didn't want a dirty corgi I could pick it up. I shower them off before they come inside and they love playing in the pool. I have a big fenced in back yard so they have plenty of room to run around.
This message is also posted in the TAC group and I'm sending it off to Mittens too.
Kim, I walk at Wildwood myself, when do you go? It would be fun to meet up, I need more excercise along with Izzy who is getting kinda "Pudgy". Nellie is wonderful!!!! and little Dexter sure is doing good. When Tax season is over on April 15th I can walk anytime. We have been trying to walk avery Sunday when the weather is OK. Keep up the good work she is a "beauty"...Susan
I've been thinking about starting a group myself. I'm glad there's one around this area now. I've been reading all the posts and looking at the pics of all the fun other corgi owners have been having all over the country. I think we need to have a Corgi picnic when it warms up some.
Today was wonderful! I had a lot of fun and it was great to see Nellie. When the sun is shining a little brighter we'll have to have you over for a barbecue and we'll have a doggy pool and all of that.
I'm free weekends and have class M&W until 3:15pm. If you wanted to meet this weekend we could, or even today. I could bring over my bad boys and we could talk. I literally have been laughing about this. How funny that they have the same parents, we live so close, and we've been looking for corgi buddies.

We should all get together again soon with the pups.
