Happy Birthday!

Ein is very cute! Can't wait to see pics on the Corgis Caught in Crime Club page!

LOL. Geri and Nat and Kathy and a couple others all know how much I would rather just stick with dogs! I say it all the time.

Dexy got his ears up!

Welcome Carleigh and Ein!

it's really funny that you say that because I have seen lots of people that have cats like mine! We adopted mocha from the humane society last june and I think they said something about her being part siamese and then pointer? If that's right. I will look at her paperwork and let you know :) Is yours really affectionate and loud? Mine loves our dogs and is really loud when meowing or purring. She's cute :)

I definately treat Kota like my kid. I decided I'm not having kids of my own, so... I want a bunch of doggies!!!

No problem! It's tough to watch our little babies in pain, but the "puppyhood" goes by so quickly :). Hope he gets to feeling better soon! Kiwi sends nub wags and kisses.

Is there a test for allergies? I do not think it's worth giving allergies pills if the dog does not look like it's an issue. Allergies outside are usually seasonal, does the snorting happen all year long?

You asked about Al & Gwynnie's breeders: Carrie Hale and Joyce Gilpin. I don't think they have websites. Both near Seattle WA; Carrie is in Bellevue or Issaquah, Joyce is in Monroe now. Carrie Hale breeds maybe a litter a year, and she's the one who really impressed me as being serious about what she does, and touchingly dedicated to her dogs. Her dogs are wonderful. She impresses me as extremely responsible and dedicated. Al's sire Cary Grant (really) won something like 3rd place in the PWCCA show last year (we don't talk about this in front of him, lest it go to his head). So we're way out here on the Left Coast, a long way from Wales, but if you search around I think you can find people as careful and dedicated as she is.

We were lucky. We lost our first corgi Sirius to a tragic choking accident. Lori (my wife) found Joyce & Carrie a few months later, and that's how we got Gwynnie, and a coupla years later we got Al from Carrie. I had to convince Carrie that I was ready for a second corgi. If we get run over by a bus, these people would take these dogs back in the blink of an eye.

So look for a breeder like that. Look for somebody who's breeding for show, breeding for champions, with some success, and not breeding many. Find someone who's in it for pride and love.

Gwynnie's Theorem: the number of old tennis balls in a household is directly proportional to the square of the number of corgis.

Good to hear.
There are so many great dogs out there looking for homes.

poor baby! i hope he feels better soon!

I bet it is! He probably loves being a part of a pack that shows him love everyday :) Dogs need that social interaction... and having another dog in the house will help. We are trying to get Lola around other dogs more... she doesn't like to share very much with other dogs! haha She's rather sassy at times ;)

Sounds like you guys are doing a fabulous job on getting your puppy to be a well behaved & loving little guy :) It's so rewarding to know you're providing a good home to an animal :)

Me too!! It's amazing and I've had many other breeds of dogs and nothing comes close to the Corgi. Life wouldn't exist if I didn't have one in my life.

Thank you...they are magical and their true beauty goes beyond their exterior.

Yes he does. I love his tail. I had the option of getting it done or not. I don't particularly like doing a dogs tail unless it's a VERY large dog and it would be like a baseball bat to everything and everyone...I love tails. Tails are part of their expression, similar to our faces. They use their ears and tails to give their expression!
