Uh oh! I'm off to Africa for 6 weeks on Monday the 22nd. My mother was going to watch corgi during that time but (thank god!) she got a job in which she'll be doing a lot of traveling. Corgi would be better at a home for all 6 weeks rather than bo...
I cannot go pick up the Fluffy as I was led to believe due to interstate regulations with HSUS -- I am only a foster home for the Fluffy Cardi. To take the dog home and then adopt out to someone else would be "selling" the dog, according to Kansas -- and possibly all other states as well. All the Corgi rescues I work with are full and have no place for him, so I can't even go pick him up on their behalf right now!
The Fluffy Cardi is still safe for the next couple of days -- please feel free to contact the HSUS in Dodge City directly.
oh darn!!! I just saw your posts on my page too late!! Sunday would have been perfect too because Natalie (Natalie and Lance) who I met from this site actually came to the city with her corgi and family to visit Ziggy!! Oh well definetly when you get back from Africa (wow how cool!!!). What are you going to do with your corgi?
HI! I just saw your post in the Chicago Corgi group about going to Montrose beach! yes we should definetly meet up one day!! I live just about 15 min away and have a home office, so I can be pretty flexible!
Charlie and Smokey come from NJ, Charlotte and Bentley live in Manhatty, so I thought it would be easier for them, and Prospect park only has certain dog run hours, but you're right a lot of people do live in Brooklyn. Maybe the run on 7th ave (where is it, like 3rd st... and come to think of it is it on 5th ave actually?) would be better?
Any reason why you chose Tompkins Square Park to do the meetups? Since most of the corgi owners I know live in Brooklyn, was thinking of doing it there. Would love to hear your thoughts on this...
We hear that a lot. We were told she was a purebred when we got her, but she really doesn't seem to be. We just got some pics of her father and he almost looks like a corgi-shepherd mix or something. We thought for sure there had to be daschund in her. Her mother is definitely all corgi though. So Dorgi is the Queen's new favorite breed? I didn't know that. Your corgi is adorable btw. : )

i'd like that let me know when the next corgi meetup is. I live in westchester so nyc in fine, close by ct even. I'd like a puppy..ideally it would be a rescue puppy but i'm sure that's hard to come by. Honestly how bad is the shedding? I've never had a dog before so i'm taking my time doing research. We just melt whenever we see a Pembroke.
Oxley now goes by "corgi." People would point to her on the street and yell "CORGI!" until she thought it was her name. Corgi likes concentrating very hard on the ball, wagging her peanut and jumping up and down with her front paws until you... KICK IT! for her. Then playing goalie and not letting it get past her front paws, and starting the whole game all over again! Her pet peeves include the vet, clipping toenails, baths, hygiene and health in general. Corgi will pretend nothing is bothering her for as long as possible to avoid going to the vet. Her best tricks include peeing on herself when she gets scared (she is very good at this one), Sitting pretty, Beg, Playing dead, High fives, Low fives, Come cuddle, Roll over
