Ohh wow he's too cute:) I love all Corgi colors, they just don't get less cute! It does sound like it's going to be a challenge to keep him down and out for that time haha-but at least it's not impossible:D You can do it:P

I know what you mean about the whole cat thing. I got WAY too ahead of myself when we got Ziggy-I was so excited about him that I didn't even ask if he liked cats, I spaced out on it completely until we had already picked him up and were in the car heading home, and my mom asked, "How does he do with cats?" I about choked. LUCKY for me, it hasn't been much of an issue and before I let him around my cats, I contacted Katie again to see how he does-which he likes cats more than dogs:P He and Skittles are getting along better today. I made Skittles lay down with him and started petting them both as soon as he stayed, which they both enjoyed and neither moved away from the other or anything, the just sat there laying together, touching and all. It was cute:) Fingers crossed that he is what the rescue says. It seems kind of likely, as rescues are to find good forever homes, but sometimes things fall through:/

I am very excited for being able to add another Corgi, even though it won't be for a long time:P Of course, it will be a puppy this time around.. Hopefully. Ziggy was supposed to be a puppy xD I honestly didn't think I would find an adult Corgi before a puppy, because I was stalking puppy ads and stuff and only checking up on adult Corgis occasionally. Not to mention the fact that I hadn't ever seen any Corgis whatsoever here where I live. But I guess that's my fault for not getting out more, because a breeder lived about a few miles away from me as it turns out:P

Ohh how exciting:) Is it a boy, girl? Cardigan, Pembroke?:P Color?:) I was hesitant to even send you his link because of the aggression thing listed, but I just thought that maybe it was misunderstandings, etc:P I hope that things work out with the one you're going to meet, it seems like you are having a tough time and rotten luck with the search, I bet you'll be happy when it's over and you have your new family member. I have to say, having Ziggy took a huge load off of me. There's no proof, but I'm pretty sure I was getting so anxious and stressed over wanting a Corgi so bad in the last 1-2 months before bringing Ziggy home that I was making myself sick LOL. (Went to the ER over five times, lost a little over 30lbs in the last waiting month because I could hardly eat because it hurt my stomach, went to the doctors, had an ultra sound at another place, had to do tests, etc.. They couldn't find anything wrong with me. My stomach is still kinda screwey, but I can eat again, and I'm not in constant pain like before-getting better everyday is what it feels like!) I was made fun of that it was over being so Corgi crazed.. But it kinda did make sense, just because every time I would see a Corgi online, my stomach would feel like it was wringing itself out! xD (Super hard to deal with, being a daily MyCorgi user haha.)

I don't know if it's what you are looking for, but it's in CA, and I figured it couldn't hurt to let you know about it, if you don't already! 

Have you tried contacting the PWCCA CA breeders. Often they have an adult that they couldn't finish or CH Corgis that they can no longer afford to maintain?

I just LOVE all of Franklin's new pictures you posted! He is a handsome boy!

Love Love Love, your photography, are you the professional?  Just beautiful

Melissa,  So sorry that it is so complicated.  I hope you got the price down some.  What are you studying?  Apparently, you are in some type of scientific program since some of your teachers are vets.  I would be interested since I am a scientist.  I guess Franklin doesn't do things in small proportions.  Its too bad it is such a major brake.  Good luck with him and the new baby.  Have you posed updates on it?  

Melissa,  Do you a brush or one of those things you put on your finger to brush a dogs tooth?  If you, you might be able to brush his broken tooth with a LITTLE peroxide and keep it from getting infected so quickly.  Infections don't usually get going toooo quickly.  That might give you some breathing room for getting the extraction done.

No, I didn't see those!  They're awesome!  And I got my TruckxFranklin fix.  I really hope he works out for you, because they seem great together.  :D  

Love the pictures.. They are great.  The new corgi is so luck.  You are doing like me. Lots of patience and time to get our new pets use to things. So exciting when they achieve a new goal. Lots of luck.

Hi Melissa,

I'm on my second fluffy Pem with heat intolerance.  Even though most people think it isn't good for Corgis, I clip Randy because he was insisting on staying in all during hot weather.  In AL there is a lot of hot weather.  This year, I will probably clip him twice, once in April and once later as he needs it.

Hi Melissa I saw on one of your posts you might want to get a cardi :) I got zeus from a breeder in Jackson, she is a nice lady we still communicate with her and she is a good breeder just incase you are interested I don't know if she has any puppies right now but if you decide you want one it is not too far from you :) let me know I can give you her email if you decide to go that route

Hi Melissa. I had a little cuddle with my Bootsie boo and thought it was a good opportunity to do that paw thing with him. I set him on the ground and attempted to recreate it with his back paw first, he wanted no part of it. I tried several times and he immediately righted his paw and looked at me like "wth momma" LOL I did it with his front paws as well and he corrected them as well. I will still get him to the vet for a thorough check up but I feel a little better.
