Bunny-hoppin', back-sleeping, adorable new Corgi!

Hi All,

I just got myself the most precious Corgi puppy a few days ago! I'm a first-time Corgi owner (I've had Shelties - have a 7-year-old Sheltie now, who's not quite sure about the puppy yet, lol. So, now I've got TWO herders - I wonder who will start herding whom!).

I named the puppy "Darcy" and already adore her. She's potty-trained (at 6 weeks old, I kid you not! She only ever wails and cries to be taken out to "do her business" -- in 9 days, she's only had 2 accidents inside! Of course, I take her out all the time, so that she'll learn).

What I'm loving most is seeing differences in this breed - things that seem to be "exclusive" to Corgis. For instance, my Sheltie never sleeps on her back (paws dangling), she never "bunny-hops" through the grass (too funny!), and never makes those hilarious Wookie sounds I've been seeing on those videos.

I can already tell I have more Corgis in my future. Love this breed!

Anyway, I don't have a specific question right now, though I'm sure I'll have plenty soon. Just wanted to pop in, introduce myself, and say what a lovely board this is. I've already read through pages and pages of threads, becoming informed on Corgi-specific behavior and refreshing myself on puppy issues (it's been 7 years since I've had one!).

Oh, and here are some puppy pictures of Darcy:

Here, she fell asleep on top of the vet's table the first day I got her:

And this is her favorite chew toy:

And here's how I found her once - sound asleep (she now does this often) - that head is just too heavy to lug into her bed, lol -

She is so sweet and beautiful. Enjoy while it lasts. She will come up with some of her own special characteristics that are hers alone as well as the corgi characteristics. Welcome and good luck.
