So I know you live an hour away, but we are going to do a meet and greet as it is posted on the MN group page, for this Sunday, Sept. 21 around 1 PM at the alimagnet dog park in burnsville. it is on cty rd. 42 and 11. We would love to have you come and I am going to try and talk Renee into it if she is free too. Hope to see you there : )

I actually went out to visit Renee so that she could look at Hunter incase she would be interested in using him for a litter. If you would be interested, I am looking to find him a female to mate with.

But yeah it is crazy how many corgis she has. I won't lie though, I wish I could have a pack of them. They are such great dogs : ) All of her dogs are great.

Hi Shelby and Sadie! Was Sadie from Nemo the tri corgi that is in Zumbrota with Renee? Renee was actually the one who told me about this website : )

Hi Shelby and Sadie!

Thank you for coming to the picnic! It was wonderful to meet both of you and I hope that we will see you next year! Sadie is a doll.

Hi Shelby: ( I added this as a reply to a question you asked in a forum but not sure if you would see it, so I'm pasting it here.)

I just joined and yes, my Corgi LOVES snow peas, carrots, turnips, almost all vegetables. He has had bowel problems before we adopted him but has been fine with us with lots of veggies in his diet.
Yes, they can do the bear thing. Buster, our Corgi, taught it to himself. He actually waves his top hands; we call it "the Wave". I am trying to perfect it so that he will do it on command. Sometimes he just stands and doesn't wave. When that happens, I kneel in front of him and say "do the wave" over and over while I wave my hands to. He is definitely learning. He is 9 years old and is a Cardigan and weights 47 lbs and doing this doesn't seem to hurt his back at all. He has been vet checked and has a large bone structure and a LOT of muscle and isnt' overweight. So, if he can do it at his age and weight then I think a puppy should be able to. Also, I am working on teaching him names for all his toys. He is definitely learning. I have 3 short videos on Youtube (not the best production) but shows him doing these things. I haven't been able to figure out how to put videos or pictures on "My Page" but I've included the YouTube links below.

Maybe you can help me: How did you teach Sadie to shake, bang dead, etc. Also, do you know how to add pictures or videos to "My Page".

Thanks for your help. Not quite sure if you will be messaged about this reply so I'll try to cut and paste it to your page.

Hi again, have you got to see our little Gris lately. How is he doing?

You have so many great pictures - I really enjoyed them. I have a female tri-color also and see a lot of similarities! .

It is a small world, Gris is from here. His dad is Ted E Bear, the corgi that is wearing the custome of the cowboys rider. I got a email from her that said that Gris was sleepy with her and getting along with everyone. He has been a really happy little boy. If you get pics of them playing together you'll have to email them sometime. That would be really neat to see.

Rolo is nearly (as of April 3rd) 6 months old in the most recent photos. Maybe he just got his overcoat early and he's going to grow into it. I really hope not, though... he's so silky to the touch.

As for our Sadie (the eldest) she barely tolerates Rolo. They had a major incident where they were both jumping on me and Rolo got a little too close to her, or startled her, and she bit him in the face, latching on to his upper lip and just under his left eye. We were very lucky... the vet said a little higher and Rolo could have lost the eye. Poor little guy's lip was cut just above his gumline and he had the worst time eating for the next week...even with the pain medication. We've kept them pretty separate since then.

Sadie is a rescue though...and her behavior has always been a little off anyway. She seems to be the most docile and loving animal anyone's ever met. I would have NEVER thought her capable of hurting Rolo until this happened. It just served to remind me that you have to be VERY observant of doggie signals. This whole ordeal only lasted (literally) 2 seconds... and Sadie did give us warnings that he was about to set her off... we were just being too human to listen.

I think it's just she's been alone or around older (less hyper) dogs and a puppy going full tilt for the face was more than she could handle. They seem to be doing better now that he's calming down a bit. Hopefully more so after he goes in for his snip and chip.

oh! I would defintely do the potty pads if I lived in Minnesota too! We're getting our puppy in a couple of months and it will be lovely weather for that potty training time, but still in the middle of the night...it might be easiest to just do the potty pad until she can hold it all night.

Does Sadie hold it all night yet? How old is she?

Thanks Shelby! I loved seeing the pictures of your puppy and am counting the days until we can get ours. She is defintely beautiful!

Your comments about the blanket having the smell of mom and siblings were great! I will definitely take a small blanket to the owner's to have them get the scents on there before we bring him/her home.

I am very curious about the potty pads. Do you use those only indoors when you don't want to go outside? Like in the middle of the night? Hmmm, maybe I can do the daytime outside thing, but at night when they need to go use those? Will that confuse them?

Welcome to the group! What an absolute cutie! :-D

After looking at yours I'm starting to wonder if Rolo (ours) is a fluffy...he seems to have such long fur compared to your graceful and sleek girl. Hrrrrmmmm... :)

Nice pictures. She does have great ears. I love this age when their ears seem to outgrow their bodies! She is a doll.

Awww she is gorgeous! Congratulations! I'm a first time corgi owner myself, they are such fun! =)

The pics are terrific! How old is she in the pictures? Does she love the snow? So adorable and sweet! What is her favorite toy? I will be getting my new PWC pup in 9 weeks and am looking for suggestions on toys, etc.

Oh my goodness, Sadie's marking look so similar to my dog's, River! They could easily be mistaken for siblings. :) Welcome to MyCorgi.com!

This is my first "social network" as well and I have really been enjoying it. My daughter laughs at me for my Corgi obsession! It was me that sent you a welcome. We live on a little farm acreage in rural Nebraska. Have fun. I have learned so many new things here. It's nice to know I'm not the only one that has Corgi issues!

Welcome! Can't wait to see pics of Sadie.
