Congrats on the new puppy you guys! Dollar and your pup will be a great addition :) I'm sure his name will come to you. Scout is really cute too!

I'm glad you had a wonderful Christmas and that you all could share wonderful memories of Teddy. I have to admit, reading your latest post about Dollar and your new little boy brought tears of joy to my eyes. I'm so happy for you and that you found two new little buddies. I can't wait to see pictures of them both. They both won't replace Teddy, but they sure will bring joy back in to your household.

Merry Christmas to you and your husband. I hope you have a wonderful visit with your familiy. If you feel up to it, hopefully you can all share some wonderful memories of Teddy. Thinking of you often. Corgi kisses from Noodles.

oh yes, i would love that- thank you.  It's not to often i meet another Rebecca, and that love corgis.

Rebecca, we are so so sorry about Teddy. I can't even imagine the pain you are going through and I want you to know it will get easier and he is right with you all the time. Please don't rush into getting another one though until your grieving is over. Just wait until you know you are both ready again. I know it will take some time, it's not easy losing your best friend. Lots of Corgi kisses sent your way.

"You're welcome" Rebecca! How are you doing? Soooo sorry you have to go through this!

Thinkin about Your Family and sending corgi kisses :).Just saw You all are thinking about breeders in Your area.I know how quiet a house is without doogie tags clicking and those greetings at the front door!!Take care,and I hope all goes well with Your new search.

Don't worry. I didn't expect a response. I know how hard this time is for you and just wanted you to know that I'm here and have been through this. I'm glad you're thinking about another Corgi.

Hi Rebecca I just wanted to say I hope you are doing o.k.

Just thinking about you. How are you doing? Noodles sends his corgi kisses and hugs to you and your husband.

We are so sorry for you and your husband's loss. I still remember just joining Mycorgi with Napolean and you were one of my first friends :) Tears are shed in remeberence of Teddy. He was a gorgous and loving corgi, and he still is. Though you cannot see him no corgi can ever leave one's heart. Even though you are grieving for him you should not grieve too long, for I can guess Teddy wants what is best for his companion, and that is to move on and enjoy life. We send our prayers to you and your husband. R.I.P ~Teddy~

Rebecca, I've had Corgis my whole life & that's a long time. I have kids probably your age. Some have lived til 14, like Dylan; yet his best friend and litter mate, Emily, was killed by a careless groomer at 7. Almost immediately after Dylan died we got Lucy––best decision we ever made. The grief was too much. Jack witnessed our 2 1/2 yr old Annie get hit by a car in front of our house, for which he was filled with guilt. She was the girl "that never left his side" until that one day. I hope you guys do not feel guilt. It's clear how loved Teddy was and that you'd never do anything to put him in danger. All of our Corgis love to get into trash and bags that smell of FOOD. It was a freak accident. But, as I said earlier, one that will be remembered by all that read your story & save other lives. I started a group "Corgis Remembered" as a tribute to my Corgis over the years. Of course the early Corgis were before digital cameras, and I have yet to gather the energy and find really good photos and scan them. There are still untold stories. My heart goes out to you and I know that you have touched the hearts of so many members. Teddy brought great joy to all who saw his happy face and watched him grow up. I too imagine Teddy making friends with many fine Corgis, young and old at the rainbow bridge.

I lost my Corgi Annie way too young, also. It is always so awful losing a beloved Corgi and I honestly don't know which is harder. I know all too well that feeling of coming home and not having a precious 4-legged friend's greeting. I thank you so much for sharing your loss with us. I am now cutting every bag before putting it in the garbage. I hope that it helps in some way to know that you may have saved other pets by telling this story.

Oh, Good Heavens!  You think I'm asking you that question!  No! No! No! That title is to myself, on why I'm jumping in to a person I've never met's business and feeling the nerve to offer advice!  I've never been compelled to write a blog before, but I was so moved and needed to reach out to you that I took the leap into the WEB.  (I mean, I don't even have a Facebook page...)  So perhaps my title should have been Why Am I Writing This.  Or Why I Feel the Need to Butt In.  Or maybe I've Been In A Similar Spot and Here's How I Got Through It.  It was in no way meant to question why you would write yours.  When we lost Audrey, I thought about having a shirt made; I got so annoyed with people telling me to have a nice day; could they not see that my heart had been ripped from chest?  

And you are right about the hazards of plastic bags.  About 3 weeks after we got Gracie, she stuck her head in a steel frame meant to hold rolled-up technical drawings- sort of like a a wine bottle rack but made out of a 4" x 4" steel sqares.  My husband was drafting about 4 feet away from her and he turned to find her thrashing around. She'd stuck her pointed little head right in the hole, but when she tried to back out, she was stuck tight.  We had to get a bolt cutter to get her out.   Why did she stick her head in there in the first place?  Because it was a hole.  And Corgis are curious about everything.  And a bag is a portable hole.

I read somewhere that a dog's purpose is to catch all the surplus love in our hearts.  There's somebody out there waiting to catch yours. And that's why I wrote this. For you and for that somebody.

Hi Rebecca & Teddy!
Hope all is going well for you both!
I'm sorry I haven't been around much! Please forgive me. I haven't been on My corgi for a very long time. It's been a rough first of the year for our family. We lost my step dad early in the year and  my sister lost her second dog to bone cancer so I'm playing catch up !  WE"RE BACK! So thank you for the messages that I was to sorry to answer! I am truly grateful for the birthday wishes so long ago and keeping me up on Teddy and the tug-a -jug! All the best Lori, Callie & Cooper
