Greetings from Sunny Florida where it will be 27 degrees tonight! I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. I always knew that skunks carried diseases but never heard of a dog being affected by one. I raised a litter of civet cats (spotted skunks) about 20 years ago that I found at the beach. The mother was dying so I took her & the babies home. When the babies were old enough to be on their own, I then released them in the location I found them. Just soon enough, they were learning how to spray:-)
Hi George! Greetings from Northeastern Arizona! Glad to make your aquaintance via Internet. Sorry to hear about Emmy's passing. It's always sad and heart-renching to lose a faithful companion. I lost my blue heeler about 7 years ago...he was accidently run-over, but we got another heeler and he's been with us for 6 years. A real good guard dog too.
So sorry about your loss. We had Teddy, a retriever mix and he died when he was 12. He had a long and happy life, but it's still hard to loose a pet. We got Peatree (the tri-color female Corgi) about 11 years ago for our daughter (who is now 27). We got Kobie 4 years ago. They get along great as long as Kobie makes sure Peatree knows he's the boss.
Hey!!! So sorry for you losing your love! It is difficult, I still think about my 'crazy' little T.J. a lot, he was only 8 months, but it has been 3 years and I still miss him!!!
I understand what you are going through. We lost 2 loving doggie family members at the end of 2008 - hence why I ended up finding this website and getting a Corgi. We just brought our Corgi home last night - she is a doll!! I know you will find the right corgi in your time. Check out "Just a Dog" in the Professional Corgi group.
Wow...what a terrible loss. I am so sorry. Our Corgi is just as much a family member as any of us and I imagine that losing her would leave a big void in our lives. I hope you fall in love, soon, with another Corgi who will allow Emmy's memory to live on every day.
Hello, George. Thank you for your friendship. I'm feel for you in your grief. I lost my beautiful Ladygirl on November 8, 2008. Couldn't deal with the pain, so I put up a memorial on MySpace and YouTube -- got sniped a few times! (Sickos) The kindness and compassion shared by all the Corgi lovers here has really been cathartic for me as I hope it has you as well. After having to grieve all by myself, it's wonderful to know there are so many Corgi parents with whom to share the good times, bad, and even the painful. My heart and prayers are with you in your sorrow.
Im sorry you lost your Emmy. I hope you get a new corgi soon! I almost lost my Lucy when she was only 6 months old...she ate a full bottle of baby asprin...but thanks to my get vets they saved her.
I know how you feel. Even years after losing our baby, Zorro, to a horrible accident, we have trouble talking about him. I'm glad we still had Chester to fill that hole in our hearts.
Zorro died while we were all outside (Chester was in another room-separated from Zorro because I was cutting the grass and Chester would bark because he wanted to attack the lawnmower) Zorro, managed to get into the trash and get a plastic bag stuck around his head. He wasn't even 2 years old.
Chester is 12, and diabetic. I'm hoping I have Chester for a long time, but I know that I cannot live without the love of a Corgi for long.
Bless you and your family. Zorro and Emily are playing together at the Rainbow Bridge........
Your pictures are soooooo beautiful. Wasn't sure if I would want another pet once we lost our Tedi Bear, but how could anyone not want a bundle of love like that! Now if I can just talk my husband into 2 and not just one this time around. We will be waiting as my husband said about 6 to 8 months before we look for another "baby". Just figured out that would be right around my birthday. Want to bring a puppy (ies?) into a happy place not a sad place and time will heal the broken heart. Thanks for being a friend.
I am so sorry. It is hard to lose a beloved family member. I know how the pain is. I hope the new corgi that enters your life bring back the happiness and spark of life again to you.

I was sorry to read that you lost your corgi. That just breaks my heart. It's like the loss of a family member.
