New to the group

HI everyone, thanks for the welcome to the group. My name is Rebecca, and my corgi's name is Timber. We live and play in Anchorage, Alaska. I met my first corgi in Fairbanks, AK, and I've been hooked ever since. I've often heard that I shouldn't get a corgi because I'm the adventurous type. "That dog is too short to be climbing mountains; you should get a husky or a lab instead." Otto - the corgi that inspired it all - was definitely one adventurous dude. Then I found this group, and became so inspired by John, Gwynnie, and Al's photos. I hope that Timber and I will have similar adventures in Alaska! I can't wait to share photos with everyone. I definitely enjoy reading everyone's blogs and seeing all of your photos!

Comment by Linda on March 5, 2015 at 1:51pm: Welcome Rebecca and Timber! Not overly adventurous here....we're all seniors (corgis and humans) but we do enjoy a good walk and a game of fetch.

Looking forward to hearing about your adventures as will as see pictures!

Can't wait to see what adventures you get into :) Welcome!

Welcome Rebecca.

Comment by Denis J. on March 5, 2015 at 7:49am: Our tallest mountain in our province is Mount Carleton, New Brunswick at just under 2700' for about a 2-3 hour climb. I'm planning to take it on with Wally for a day trip late spring early summer. I assume lots of water and plenty of snacks is the way to go. :)

Comment by John Wolff on March 5, 2015 at 1:40am: Yes, they're too short for climbing mountains. I haven't been able to get them any higher than 9000' (the Cascades' footings are low) or go more than 24 miles in 14 hrs. with 9000' of total gain. But 1 corgi is all you need on a 3-dog night because it fits inside your sleeping bag.
