Friends, it's more than a month later and I hope you all pick up on this post. What a strange set of coincidences - I'd call it Kismet. The dog owner never got back to me. We wavered a lot, as people were telling us it would be best for both pups to get another soon or wait close to 2 years. Not wanting to wait (already 60!) I called all over trying to find a Corgi, with no luck.

Then a Corgi was posted on the same site as the first, this time by the woman who had bought her from the original harried mom with the rambunctious toddler. She adored the pup,cried when we came to get her, but her husband wanted fewer animals in the house.

So reading this thread over, I see that everything you say is true, but circumstances have conspired to bring this little girl to our house. Mozart the Cocker and Tosca the Pem are doing very very well.

She was indeed a bit shy and absolutely refused to have anything to do with a leash, so we suspect the toddler was always pulling on her. Some patience and the sight of her new brother going on a walk took care of that. She's delighted to go walkies and some day may actually walk in a semi-straight path.

We don't know if the breeder was reputable and we do know that being her 4th set of humans can't be easy for her. But she's a love! We'll see if problems develop, but we think the dogs and people all got really lucky.
