Does your corgi "get in the way"?

My Ein does, and I don't mean it in a bad way. For instance, when I'm folding clothes, he walks over and lays or sits on the piece of clothing that I'm folding and I give him tummy rubs. Or when I'm reading a book for class, he comes right over and sits on the book and of course, he gets pets/tummy rubs. It's like he's saying, "I want all of your attention". I think it's adorable. I was wondering if other corgis does this too.

Attached is a picture of Ein sitting on the shirt that I was trying to fold :)

Geordi always sits next to me when I'm working on projects like he wants to help somehow. He and Sonny also come running from anywhere in the house if I go to the bathroom, they sit beside me when I pee, I guess I reinforce that habit by petting them every time, but I think it's kind of funny :)

Mine follow me into the bathroom too! I think it might be because I'll use the restroom right before we take the pups out on a walk, and I think they are looking to see if I have my walking shoes on. My corgis are worse than my kids were when it comes to bathroom privacy!

I love having my doggy 'underfoot'
He lays undr me while I lay on the sofa, and stands in the sink area of the bathroom when I pee, and waits outside the bedrooms while I take care of lil one or bedtime at night.
He's starting to figure out that Im a clumsy cook and often drop/spill while im coking, so HooverDog is starting to hang in the kitchen.
I haven't folded any laundry yet since we got him, but im pretty sure hes going to be locating himself in a strategic location while I do it, just lke at the computer desk and sewing table.

I'm famliar with the nose bump too, its kinda funny to get one in the back when he feels hes being ignored.

Charlie does this all the time.

Even when I am trying to sleep. He'll get his favorite toy, hop up on to my bed, lay with his face and toy next to my ear, and if i ignore him he'll nudge the toy with his nose inch by inch closer to my face, and if i still ignore him he'll just pick the toy up and drop it on my forehead or in my hand if it is not under the blankets and smile at me with his tongue out like its not 2 am.

and sometimes Charlie would put his face in front my laptop while im on it, try to squeeze in between my boyfriend and I, or take my notebook away from me while I'm reading a text book and taking notes.

We are working on correcting this behavior..he knows the words "No" and "back" and "down" but he's just stubborn. So we have to have treats in containers in places all around the house so that if he listens he gets a treat instantly. It seems to be successful so far.

That is so funny about the bathroom! Mine do that too. In fact, all our friends know when they come over to our house and they go to the bathroom, they will always have a Corgi in there with them!

Atlas feels the need to always investigate whatever is new to the apartment. Whenever I come home from work with my backpack, he always climbs inside of it. When we have guests over, I have to explain to them that he's not going to chew up their purses, he is just checking them out because they are new and interesting to him.

My Ein is constantly in my business, he doesn't necessarily want to be played with or anything when he gets in the way, i think it's his way of just making sure i don't forget he's there.

If I'm trying to wipe up something--it is almost a guarantee that Freya will try and help me...lol.

We've only had Shiro for a few days and he's already doing all of the above. Everything we do is extremely interesting. He follows us everywhere, bathroom, of course :) I take him in there when I take a shower so he doesn't pee in the living room or doesn't eat any cords (can't trust him yet). He also follows my fiance to the patio every time he goes to smoke.
Of course, he loves to sit on my foot when I'm brushing my teeth, folding laundry, anything. I think it's cute that he's always by my side, I feel special :)
