New Corgi News (of course)

Pembroke Corgi TAIL

Our recently enlarged family has, of course, kept us distracted and chuckling.  It is fun to have corgi dogs WITH tails too!  Many years ago, it was customary to dock the Pembroke's tail because with their red coat and tail with the white tip, they could easily be mistaken for foxes.

Late Afternoon in the Hammock

Recently we watched part of a national dog competition on TV where there were over 15 dog breeds in the herding category.  Compared to the rest of the breeds, the Corgis are v-e-r-y short ("pokole")-- and, they are always placed last. (booo!)

Anyway, the last time we bought dog food for Dexter we were pleased to see a Pembroke Corgi right there on the Science Diet bag -- with a TAIL!!!  We are so "en trend!"

REBA and DEXTER take walks with us almost every day; it is a much easier way to keep their toenails trimmed.  POKO has managed to trick DEXTER into playing "get the puppy" and it is pretty cute to watch.

POKO has also discovered the pond in the back yard near the water tank -- and the other day he took an unexpected plunge into 18 inches of water!!  Of course it all happened too fast to get a photo of his antics -- but he later informed us of his decision to explore scuba diving.  Fortunately they do make scuba gear for Corgis!
