Ever since i met my first corgi, i have saw them as awww aspiring dogs. Me and my life has changed since owning my corgi's, it may just be over a year, but what a year it as been. We do alot for our dogs, but what have they done for us.
Mine have:
What have your corgi's done for you? How have they changed you and your lives?

My corgi has made me into a morning person! No more sleeping-in when you can get up for a nice early morning walk.
Corgis add a little something to everything in our lives:
But one of the best things they've brought to me is getting me out in the neighborhood, routinely, meeting a lot of neighbors I wouldn't otherwise have met. We're kind of a neighborhood fixture, and part of the local dogwalking subculture. A solitary male is a lot more approachable and less threatening with cute dogs in tow -- we can lurk and hang out in places where I'd otherwise scare people -- and little kids are always coming up to see the doggies. They are a great entre' and conversational gambit. It's so easy to strike up a conversation with another dog person. All of this was unexpected.
I wouldn't have made it through the last couple of years without my corgis. They make me laugh.
They add protein to my diet.
My 3 guys give structure to my day--having that responsibility has helped me grow up (at 63!) Of course all those smiles and joyfulness and the total committment to NOW.
And I must say that my first Corgi who died at just 5, taught me a lot about loss and love.
Mostly, Edison brings me out of my own head. Sometimes, very pointedly, with a nose poke. "Hello? Hello? There's a hungry puppy here! What is so important that you ignore the puppy?" Then I look at him, and the world is a better place, because there is a puppy (who is now 4 1/2), who cares about me (or at least my ability to provide food) and can't wait to see what happens next in life. It's an adorably infectious attitude. :)
Also, he knows when my husband and I are bickering, and tends to break it up by requesting to be held (a corgi-height jump-up, sometimes directly into the lap). It becomes a lot more important to compromise than yell when you're holding a corgi, did you know that? They should have corgis at all peace conferences. ;)
