A Corgi in the Family / myLot

March 4, 2022 2:27pm CST

Look who is peaking out from under the porch. This is our 9-month old Corgi puppy. She is enjoying exploring under the back steps. This beautiful little girl has spent the last week recovering from surgery. We had her spayed. Keeping her quiet has been a challenge. She was ready to start running around the backyard a couple of days after we brought her home. Having a Corgi in the house has been a new experience for us. Over the thirty-plus years we've been married, my wife and I have had several dogs: Labradors, Brittanies, a rescued mutt, and a rescued mini-Schnauzer. Learning to live with a Corgi has been an adventure.

The only thing I know about Corgis is that the Queen has them

think they used to be used for cattle herding in Wales , they bite the ankles of the cows to keep them moving

@58lordstreet Yes, the Corgi is a herding dog. They still train them to do herding work. I tried to convince my missus to let me get a couple of pygmy goats for Sophie to herd. I got the look.

I like your dog a lot even though I have never owned a Corgi dog before.

Her full name is Princess Sophia of Buzby Island, but we call her Sophie.

Awww, well hello there, little Corgi! My friend's mother LOVES Corgi's though she's never owned one herself. Hope she recovers fully soon!

Her recovery is coming along nicely. The hard part is getting her to slow down.

We had two corgis over our lifetime. They are great little dogs.

She is a pleasure to have around most of the time. For some reason, she has decided she doesn't like my mini-Schnauzer. They used to get along, but after her first heat, not anymore.

@JudyEv What makes the situation even odder is that they get along fine outside or riding in the truck.

@DWDavis That's a shame. It could make life a bit difficult when they're living in the same house.

Did you get her from a Corgi rescue? I have the same kind of step design and framing on my house.

We got Sophie as a puppy at 8 weeks. My missus had a longing to raise a puppy. In truth, I think she was looking for a grandbaby substitute as neither of our adult sons has yet graced us with grandchildren, nor does it appear they will in the foreseeable future. Ace, my mini-Schnauzer, is a rescue we adopted when he was, we think, 5 years old.

She seems to be very energetic. You have been married for too long. 30+ years are too much. We have been married for 17 years and with each year it looks as if the bond is getting better and better.
