About Me:: I'm a new Corgi owner, still reeling a little bit from the accompanying mild state of shock. :) :) :) (I grew up with a Sheltie who was an obedience super-star and lived to please me...I didn't realize I'd transferred expectations.) Recently I've really come upon a sense of appreciation for who my puppy is, as an individual and not in comparison to other dogs I've known, and that's been really fun and healthy for both of us. She makes me laugh every day. I love that.

Welsh Corgi Breeder?: No

About My Corgi(s):: I have a feisty female named Heidi who was born July 22, 2008. Heidi turns up her nose at conventional dog toys and instead prefers sticks, flowers, and leaves. I think she's an aspiring vegan. Right now we're taking plenty of time to learn basic obedience skills and manners, but since Corgis live 10-20 years, I suppose there's really no rush. She can do "sit" reliably well, but everything beyond that apparently seems pointless to her...especially "lay down." Telling Heidi to lay down gets a bored, indulgent leaning toward the ground, as if to say "How bout if I lean down...I'm so short, what's the difference really?" She has yet to display the infamous Corgi appetite, about which I'm not sure whether to be concerned or delighted. I did tell her when she was 5 months old that if she didn't start eating more, the whole breed would be ashamed of her. That day she ate an extra bowl of puppy chow. However she usually only eats 1 bowl a day (2 if I'm lucky and she's bored), and she's been this way ever since I brought her home at 8 wks. Every now and again she seems to be offended by the existence of the toes on her back feet, and attacks them with gusto, usually falling over on her side in the process. She makes a little "Ow-roo" sound at the end of her yawn. Her favorite sleeping position is still flat on her back, with or without a hind leg sticking up in the air. She has a fun trick that I call "the face bop" where if I look at her the right way and nod my head toward her, she'll leap forward and bop me in the face for reasons I can only guess at. :) She's very weird, and I love her SO very much!

I bet she gets in trouble..." and then visited your page and of course was laughing while reading your entire write-up! So much personality coming through in the photos! Love her!

We have two Cardis (which by nature are a little more low-key than Pems) but I just wanted to reassure you that not all Corgis have that crazy appetite. Our blue Silas could care less about food too!

At 4:02pm on June 3, 2009, Sky and Lyla said…: I'm so happy to hear that! If you are interested in agility I recommend Aussies (unless, of course, you want the traditional border collie). My Aussie, Sky, is actually a miniature, but I hope to get him started in agility classes yet. He loves to jump and weave and follow directions. Lyla is doing good. I laugh when I read your page about Heidi because she sounds so much like Lyla... not too interested in obeying, or eating, or moving for that matter. Silly girls!

At 10:05pm on May 26, 2009, Sky and Lyla said…: Allison, how are things going? I know you were thinking about rehoming Heidi awhile back. Whatever happened with that? I just wanted to say, my little girl Lyla is such a couch potato too... so not what I expected in a Corgi! Lucky for me, I already have an Australian Shepherd that has enough energy for the both of them.

At 2:54pm on May 13, 2009, Jeanette said…: Whatta a hoot! You're in for so much fun! Sounds like she has personality PLUS!

I will turn around and she is bringing in a whole branch from the tree outside through the dog door. Pine cones are really her favorites.. Everytime I turn around I have a chewed up pine cone all over the living room or sun room.Song bops us in the back of the legs to guide us where ever she wants. To the snacks, the cookies and etc. If she thinks it's supper time watch out. She is also very feisty. I say I have one Corgi who is Sassy and one who is sweet, for Carrie is the oppisite of her. Sweet, loving and cuddily. Yes our life is great since we have these two.---------------Dot

At 7:46pm on December 30, 2008, Dot Brooke said…: Thanks, so many people don't like Song's name. Most are copnfused why I would name her that, but we get a lot of compliments too. Her first couple nights in her crate, and you would have understood for sure where the name came from. Thanks, Carrie's Mom is a fluf, so Carrie looks a lot like a Border Collie, she is sooo sweet. Her hair is longer and softer. I just love to pet her. Both have different personalities, but we love them both for who they are! --Dot
