Connie will be more lively when the weight comes off - most Corgis are. I don't think lively enough to muck around and chase around. She was a show (champion) and breeding dog up until she was sold to the present owner at aged six. She was 'typical' from this particular breeder in as much as the Corgis the breeder has sold at an older age after been used for showing and breeding - not socialised nor playalised, but kennelised. There are others I know about. As well, Connie went to a home that has a widowed person living on her own and while the present owner is not 'old' in the strickest sense, she is not the kind to get Connie out of any hole that Connie has gotten dug into. A lot of Corgis are as active, bright, amusing, playful, innovative etc as their owner/handler and family are or have the right kind of environment.
Connie does enjoy her walks with Taylor and the Lab. She looks forward to them now. She enjoys all the attention that Taylor pays her and she just loves following him or (mainly) me.
