Hi Ross! I read a reply you wrote on a post about puppy's eyes changing color about your corgi, Atlas (what a great name!), and you called him a Bluie, and described him a little, and it sounds a lot like my new pup. Where did you found out about Bluies? I've never heard that term before, but I'm brand new to the corgi world, and I'm interested in my dog's coloring differences. She (currently, she's almost 10 weeks so still changing) has one pale blue eye and one gray, and pink/black gums and nose, lots of black freckles on her tummy and snout, and looks like her black fur might be turning, at least partly, orange. I'm not sure how far it'll go!

Hey Ross,
Have we met you before? Have you gone to any of the corgi gatherings at the lake of the isle dog park? Chloe loves to wrestle and is very high energy and muscular. Today we walked 1 mile, did a walkydog run for 1.5 miles and had another walk for a mile. She is still bouncing off the walls.

Thanks Ross! I appreciate your input. When my Aussie was a pup, he was always either obviously sick or obviously well, so I don't know how to intrepret some of this grey area stuff. Thanks again!

there certainly are :(

all of this talk about breeding has made me NOT want to breed Ein.
I was looking on petfinder at corgi/corgi mixes at shelters in my area and its overwhelming how many are in these shelters.
I think in the future, when i get Ein a friend, we'll be looking on petfinder again for the shelter corgis

Achilles does look like he could be part Carolina dog! we aren't exactly sure but next time we're at the vet we plan on asking if he has any idea:)

Well I have my fingers crossed you make it. It should be a blast!!

are you planning to bring Atlas to

tomorrow??? We plan to be there with the girls!

Atlas you are a very handsome guy! I am 10 mths old and I love to play too! Enjoy your time outside in the park.....just be careful!

I look forward to seeing more pics of Atlas. Sidney is still a pup himself (15 months) and he's awesome. He got away from us the other day and he hit a moving car face-first. He knocked out most of one tooth and damaged the other bad enough to have both removed at the vet yesterday. He's still not quite back to his normal self, so I can't wait for the little guy to be fully recovered!

Loring Park is on the southside of Downtown Mineapolis. It is a cross the street for the Walker Art Center/Sculpture Gardens. Our dog park is not as big as the one that you go to. I think that is the largest one in the Minneapolis area, but the Loring Park dog park is not as busy.

Chapin is settling in very well. At just past 1 year old she definetly has more puppy energy. Typical mischief maker. LOL The girls get along famously and have right from the start. Cagney is so much happier having a buddy it is amazing. But I am thinking of converting my backyard to woodchips ... you should see them tearing around ... not sure the grass is going to hold up ... LOL

Cagney and Chapin send their hellos. We are looking forward to the next Corgi Minnesota get together!

Welcome Ross! Casper lives in Minneapolis too....we often go to the Loring Park Dog Park. Which dog park do you play at?

Welcome Ross, Atlas and gal pal! I am happy when Spencer can go to doggy day care!

Welcome Ross, Altas and "girlfriend". Exercise sure is an excellent way to get good behaviour. Life is rough around our house with four Corgis if we miss one of our two daily walks. Altas looks like he enjoys his time outside!
