Two things that come to mind with Sassy are arthritis and a muscle strain.
Could Sassy be prematurely arthritic in one of her legs? Could she have a strained muscle and just needs a couple of days of rest and some careful massaging. Corgis can easily develop a limp from a strain. Taylor had one a couple of years ago. I just rested him for a day gave him several massages and he was as right as rain again.
I learnt that one of the Corgis in the Wellington Welsh Corgi Walking Club limps a little for a while in one of her back legs after a long walk or very vigorous exercise - and it has been this way ever since she was a little pup. She is now over two. I think this problem needs a veterinary assessment because it has been a consistent thing. I would assume it could be arthritic. There are plently of drugs on the market to combat slight arthritic problems.
