Corgi Appreciation Thread!!!!!!!!!!

[paintedChix]

Currently, Larry & i have 4 dogs. 1 purebred Pomeranian purchased in Mar 2014 @ approx 12 weeks of age, a ratJack mix adopted in Feb 2019 @ about 2-1/2 yrs & 2 corgi/pom mixes...

**********
And with my job, one day a rescue showed up with 4 Pomeranian mixes & 2 purebred Pomeranians & others - they took on 80 small dogs from hoarding situation. Heart throb for 3... I wish I could have taken 2 home, but could not. I was accepted for one, got cash during lunch & after work, she came home with me. Fizzy was 15 weeks old in Nov 2019.







She is often w/ one of the cats



Sorry so large - didn't crop/fix. Fizzy came to visit me in rehab w/ my broken leg



Well, for all that she was is a friendly, loving little dog, she's not fond of young children. Guess they run & scream too much. Don't let a chick out of a brooder, as she will happily dispatch them. A mouse, not so much.

Hard to believe she's 5 yrs old already!

So cute

I, too, have sometimes had a hard time moving on. But my job @ a low cost spay neuter clinic has exposed me to lots of dogs - many needing to be adopted.

Maybe you could visit a rescue or shelter & forget about breeds for a bit. You might be surprised which dog you might cater too. But if you don't, that's OK, too.

I want to do that for my next dog lol which is a while away like years and years

& while i can still say last year...

In April 2023, I was doing the paperwork for the 20 dogs & cats that the Montgomery County Animal shelter bringing in... words first a Corgi/?Pomeranian? mix... 1 yr old female, solid red.

Then a picture. Can you say heart strings "yoinked"? On the phone w/ manager of shelter. Didn't get application thru email before I went home. And yep, as soon as I saw her the next morning, wanted her to go home. Got it accomplished & she did.

The 1st day. 1st pics of her weren't great. What a wiggleworm! Even still groggy from anesthesia, she was not the best car rider(still to this day). I often take 3 or 4 dogs with me - navigatin', doncha know... they LOVE cheese burgers, sausage patties & pup cups...






Think she's a keeper



Meeting another cat, getting a massage while showing off her spay scar & tattoo.



Just a few short weeks after she arrived, I'd let her out to run w/o supervision. Suddenly she scratched at the door. She was alone... I sat back down waiting for others to return, she curled up @ my feet (normal), but started whimpering & scratching... at her face...

I picked her up - her whole face was "disfiguring" in front of my eyes as it continued to swell... called dogs in as i carried her to the door, thankfully they seemed to know & gave no issue w/ me leaving. Larry was snoring, I didn't wake him. Fastest 15 mile drive on dangerous highway I've ever done. Called, let them know suspected snake bite, coming in hot. By the time I finished paperwork, she seemed to be having problems breathing. They took her back (other folks in lobby were P.O'd!! Wow.)... Came back w/ initial assessment, they'd given something to start reducing swelling & help breathing. I did have to set a $$ limit to include euthanasia if necessary, we had already spent A LOT of $$ on Didy & Hobb in emergencies... Made me a lot ill. Thankfully, not venomous, but still bad. Hours later, after IV & IV meds, meds to take home, she spent night curled up @ Larry's feet. These pics are next day - still very painful & swollen, though it's gone down...





For a while, getting her out the door very difficult. Potty training seemed forgotten (to this day, sometimes, sad face)... but back to normal & freshly groomed.



More pics







Christmas 2023 w/ the gang



The start of 2024, almost 2 full months, then i slipped & fell. Broke & dislocated ankle. 3 weeks before surgery, 1 of which I spent in hospital, then 1-1/2 more before rehab for a month... few pics. Home end of April, cast off in June. Still struggling w/ mobility & balance issues. All dogs force me up to let them in/out. Antics are fun. They sleep w/ us & on us when sitting. Poof hair is driving me crazy - on clothes & in house. Last grooming was in January - for the 3. I can trim nails, do spot trimmings, but SOONEST they need to be groomed...

The reason a lot of pics in house or sitting, sleeping is all pics otherwise just blurs that I end up deleting...

And yes, they are barking, barkity, bark, bark dogs...

Sometimes they are TERRIBLE. The wind sets them off... Will love the day(s) I can take them to a dog park, let them run while i can watch & work w/ them... I do outdoor chores & property very overgrown right now. Hard to see them, get around etc, still.

They play hard & sometimes sleep just as hard. A wish I have is to take them somewhere to introduce to sheep, goats or runner ducks with herder that knows what they are doing.

This is very accurate meme for them...



I need to play w/ picture program & see if I can put them in a meme like this...

Some of my best dogs were and are mixed breeds. Our local shelters have mostly pit bulls, and a few other inappropriate large dogs. I do occasionally check them out, but nothing that fits is ever available.

My dogs are my life, and for life so I always want to be careful that I don't bring in someone that won't fit into my pack of all female dogs. Your dogs are adorable. My best dog ever was a rat terrier Chihuahua mix. Your one looks very similar.
