How exciting that your daughter is getting married!
I am looking at your pictures of Winston and he looks so much like Jake in so many of the pictures!
It will be exciting for you to get another little corgi to fill your heart with love.Please keep me posted.
Gryffin is going to be 8 Sept 30th and Jake will be 9 Sept 26th. So they are technically both seniors.. They are still getting along great. Gryffin is settling in quite well here. I have been feeling guilty about getting him so soon after Annie passed. I know this sounds strange but I feel like it was disrespectful to Annie. I will see if my husband can get some pictures of Gryffin with his camera as I havent gotten a good one on my phone.

Hi Joyce, I am so sorry that you have lost your Winston. I have had many dogs but my first PEM was my most precious baby. I really feel for you as I think corgis are special little dog-persons.
I lost my little Sandy and an older cardi that I had within 6 weeks toward the end of 2010 and they were the only 2 that I had since down sizing. It was the first time in 40 years or so that I didn't have an animal in the house. The silence was overwhelming. I was lost and called a woman I know who I used to work with who breeds PEMS and ask if she had any puppies and she said no but she was planning to breed in about a month. Then she called back later on and said that she was going to have an unplanned litter. One of her best males was living in her house and he smelled a bitch in season and proceeded to work his way to her. He chewed off aluminum ties on chain length fences (about 4), went under them and I'm not sure about the one gate but he got to her. Linda didn't think they had bred but they had, so I was able to get one of those puppies, who is Randy my fluffy. I grew up in KY but am not familiar with TN as just drive through TN to get to KY or OH. I don't know if your are ready for a new corgi but since BHM isn't too far from TN, it wouldn't be too terribly far to drive. Linda (Muglach, pronounced Mug-klak) breeds under the kennel name of LIN-KEL but she has a partner ship with Nanteos PWC and if you want to see her dogs, go to www.nanteos.net. I do know that they meet all of the health standards and are growing in prestige in the regional show ring.
I don't feel is it untrue to the ones you have loved to go ahead and get a new one but it seems hard, I know. My best to you and your husband.

Joyce thank you for the kind words of Annie's pictures. I thought about her today on my way home from work and cried again. I miss kissing her sweet little face. How are you doing?
I think we are both in the same place with Winston and Annie because they weren't sick for a long time and we expected them to get better and they both passed so suddenly.It is so hard to come to terms with that.
I am loving little Gryffin because I know he has had a pretty miserable life so far and want him to be a happy adjusted little dog..as they all should be. I would much rather have my Annie here but I think God sent little Gryffin my way for a reason. I stll miss seeing my little Annie running to greet me at the door each day. I will always love and miss her. She was my first corgi after all.
I pray for you heart and hope you can start to heal..but I know how you feel. You will always have Winston in your heart and you know he knew he was loved.

Nothing you said sounds pathetic at all. I still cry for Annie every day. She had tummy troubles off and on all her life,nothing that didnt clear up after a day or two. In April I had to put my 16 year old cocker mix down as his kidneys failed. Annie started throwing up in July and the vet just put her on antibiotics as usual but she didnt get better and then she stopped eating. Lab work indicated pancreatitis but she continued to decline and then she couldnt hold water down. She was at the vet everyother day for 6 days the end of July. They ran some barium down her and showed she had a blockage. They took her into surgery to clear it and found she was full of cancer. I had them euthanize her on the table while she was out anyway. I have so much guilt that I didnt get to say goodbye and I wasnt there in her lsst minutes. We had her cremated and I have her ashes on my dresser (now that sounds pathetic!) Jake and Gryffin are still doing well together this morning but I know I will always miss my Annie girl.
I picked up Gryffin(i was spelling his name wrong) tonight and they are getting along just wonderful. I was really nervous that there would be some aggresion on Jakes part due to this is his house..but nothing yet.
I can't picture my life without corgis! I know someday you will have another corgi not to replace Winston because you never can but just another one to fall in love with.
Sorry to hear about your loss. These corgi's sure do make our lives better. With Tenby we have to have a blood test every 6 months because of a pain medication he is on. So we know his blood sugars are good on a regular basis. I love the picture of Winston in the dishwasher, that is Chepstow's favorite place. Also welcome to MyCorgi, it is a wonder place for all of us corgi lovers
I do have pictures of both annie and jake on facebook. My husband wanted to try to find a corgi that looks like Annie (she was a black headed tri) but I think that would be too painful.
Griffin (the rescue we are looking at) is a cute little sable.
Best of luck to you. Please keep in touch, it always helps to talk to someone going through the same thing. My husband doesnt understand why I still cry over annie
We have had luck with Missy fitting in well. When introducing a new dog to the "pack" it is better to introduce them on neutral gound. For us, we took our RV to the Tallahasse Dog show and intorduced Junior and Missy. Our male is very "social" almost to the point of overbearing with other dogs.....He LOVES them. This neutral ground allowed them to be on more equal footing.
You can look at rescue groups by going to your search engine and checking out Tennessee Corgi Rescue or the Pembrooke Welsh Corgi Association web site. It is so unfortunate but it seems that there are more corgis in rescue these days....:(
I can offer additional hints related to introducing at home when you get to the point that you feel like you might like to move forward.
Hi Joyce! I have family in TN ... Very nice to meet you! And so sorry for the loss of your little buddy.
To answer your question, Tommy eats the Blue Buffalo Basics Sensitive Solution Formula in turkey and potato or salmon and potato. We have been very happy with the brand overall!
Your Winston looks so much like my remaining corgi Jake.
I know how you feel. Annie has been gone for a month and I still cry almost daily. Her passing was so unexpected which made it much harder.
We are adopting another corgi. His name is Griffin and he is a six year old sable that had been abused. I pray my Jake gets along with him.
Welcome to mycorgi. I am so sorry for you lose. It is so difficult when we loose our furbabies. Know that Winston is frapping and happy again!
We lost our our female, AJ, in February of this year. We have her son, Junior, that had never been seperated from her and he was inconsolable. After aprox 3.5 weeks of howling and pacing we contacted the breeder that we had gotten AJ from. She had a 3 year old female that she offered us. Junior was over the moon, I was still grieving so a little stand offish, and my husband gained an official lap dog. We have since come to an understanding. Like all animals at our house......She is now totally rotten! ^..^
