<p> My family has always had herding dogs, so I am partial to that group. A couple of years ago we adopted an adult Pembroke Welsh Corgi. He is one of the best dogs I have ever had. He has a great personality and loves to play, but calms down and is a good lazy dog. He is also a great running partner for me, which is great. plus, there is nothing cute than a Corgi Butt!!!!</p>
I was going to ask you guys to "talk me down"...
<p>It seems my biological clock was ticking and I wanted a dog to add to our brood. I've been searching and searching, but haven't found the right one.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My husband came up to me the other day and asked if I wanted a dog. I said, yeah, of course! What kind?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Husky about 6 months old. Apparently the neighbor who I pet sat for before several times had had ENOUGH and was debating getting rid of her.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So I came up with a SOLID plan. I told my husband we would watch her for one week. Two objectives would get solved: one, I would either get cured of puppy desire or it would solidify it, and two, it would allow my neighbor to make the decision at a more leisurely pace. (She really doesn't want to give her up)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Day two: I know I don't want a puppy, maybe older dog. Probably not a husky. </p>

My corgi has a great little personality... and a lot of it. His is a "smart" dog and will try his luck on some things, but he listens very well. He does exhibit Corgi FRAP (Frequent Random Acts of Play), where he tears through the house in figure eights, stirring up the cats and making us laugh. I describe him as a "Happy". He just exudes happiness and love. He is very attentive to the SO turtle and I and likes to be in on the action. He loves going to the Fire Station with me and is a great car rider....he is a real easy going kindof guy. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We are actually thinking of adding a collie to our little brood. I love collies and had one on the farm when I was growing up. It will be a present for the SO turtle, but really for me!!!!</p>
