OT: New temporary dog... :-)

My sister and brother in law said several months ago that they wanted a
Welsh Corgi. One 8 month old [censored] became available on Austin.forsale a
few days ago, and the description looked promising. Plus, I personally
prefer to adopt adult dogs for a number of reasons. It basically makes
them "rescues". <G>

Thing is, I already have 6 dogs and don't really need another!

You can never have enough dogs, guns, or knives.

I
e-mailed the kids and asked them if they were interested and they gave
me an enthusiastic "yes"!!!

Wow, what a surprise 🙂

Welsh Corgi's are really cool dogs. I got her today and she is
everything wonderful I've ever read about them. Housebroken but
otherwise pretty much untrained, but she is "getting" things very
quickly using a lot of petting and a few food rewards.

Damn she is smart!

Better be, to avoid being stepped on by the catle they herd.

And ohhhh such a love. A floppy, cuddly little face licker.
She will be vetted on Monday and a spay appointment set up.

According to her person, she was pretty much being neglected where she
was and with her lack of training, I have to agree.

Here's a pic of "Chelsea". The kids will be picking her up the end of
next month so I have that long to give her basic training.

Awwwww, cute!

With her loving personality, I think she'll be ideal for the nephews and
active enough to play with the boys. One Nephew is 3 1/2 and the other
is a bit young yet at 8 months, but this dog is anything but aggressive!
She even likes the cats.

Now I just have to keep myself and the housemate from getting too
attached to her. <G> The LAST thing I need is a 7th dog! But, she is
really very personable and easy to love...

Get her a herd of something to work. A flock of ducks or geese will do.

Do you molest them too? No wonder they want a guard dog.

<lol> Too true....
It's good to have a large fenced yard.

Yeah, that's what I read.
I did not read a single negative thing about them.
That was intereting...

She seems to be most interested in sitting in my lap and cuddling...
I'll see what she does with the ducks.
