<p>Thanks for the compliment on her name though! It is a shortened version of the Welsh name Cordelia. Which means Jewel of the sea or something. So despite her not coming from the sea, I thought it was cute. haha Delia means heart I think in greek? Maybe Welsh? I forget. </p>

<p>Its through a host website called my d link. Just get a wireless web cam and set it up wirelessly then set it up with the website and you should be good to go. There is an apple app for it too. So I can peak in on her every where I go!! The app is called my d link lite. </p>

<p>Unfortunately for me she is with my parents for 3 days. =( As I mentioned, she came a little sooner than I anticipated and I am working in a non-dog friendly community until tomorrow afternoon. Commitments I made BEFORE I found out she was coming. Go figure. haha</p>

<p>She loves their big dogs though. The lab-Topher- lets her climb all over him. And my german shepherd/blue heeler - Ashe- mothers her to death.... Cleans her ears, follows her around, tells her whats up etc</p>

<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">Love the name Delia!!! Sophia will be 2 in January and she isn't much of a cuddle bug either, it's so funny I try everything to have her sleep in bed with me, if she decides she’s up for it she only lays by my feet for maybe a half hour, other wise she sleeps in a laundry basket..LOL She claimed the small laundry basket one night so I put blankets in it for her, now it’s her favorite spot to sleep.…</span></p>

<p>Ha, wow I just realized (and since, fixed) that I said I have never had a black dog. My mind was going a million miles and hour apparently. I have never had a small ish dog. I have two very large black dogs that live with my parents. That statement just got combined. oops.</p>

<p>Kymii makes a good point about the cuddliness! I wanted a dog who would stick to me like glue - like a Golden Retriever, or a Lab - but instead I ended up with Ace. He is quite independent, and his favourite activities in life do not really involve my direct presence (playing with other dogs and animals). But! Lately, after he turned a year old, he has DEFINITELY changed in character. Sometimes he'll lay his head and paws on me while I watch TV. Or he'll spoon me when I sleep in, on weekend…</p>

Lately, after he turned a year old, he has DEFINITELY changed in character. Sometimes he'll lay his head and paws on me while I watch TV. Or he'll spoon me when I sleep in, on weekend mornings. Ace shows his affection and cuddles in his own manly, stoic way. Do not be disappointed if Delia turns out to be a fierce girl who can weather the world on her own!

<p>I got my Corgi around the 9 week mark. As far as house training I would consider if she understands where to go when she needs to relieve herself e.g, she heads to the door to let you know she wants to relieve herself and there are no accidents within the house for a few months. Corgis are pretty smart dogs. To help bonding I started to to teach my lil guy some of the basic tricks like sit,wait,shake,roll, high five using postive reinforcements plus treats....at 14 weeks were still trying to…</p>
<p>I got my Corgi around the 9 week mark. As far as house training I would consider if she understands where to go when she needs to relieve herself e.g, she heads to the door to let you know she wants to relieve herself and there are no accidents within the house for a few months. Corgis are pretty smart dogs. To help bonding I started to to teach my lil guy some of the basic tricks like sit,wait,shake,roll, high five using postive reinforcements plus treats....at 14 weeks were still trying to get the command "Ball" for him to fetch it out of his toy box....Socialize your pup as much as possible around dogs you know that are vaccinated and wait for the dog park around the 18th - 20th (post 16 week shots) week mark if you ever decide to take your dog there....as far as being cuddly that can range from each individual Corgi...the reason I picked mine was because he allowed me to hold him like a baby when I went to the Corgi Farm while the others are very squirmy. Good luck she looks beautiful.<br/><br/></p>
