Pembroke & Cardigan Welsh Corgi - View Single Post

Hi all! Long time listener, first time caller! Just kidding!

I'm Susan and I live in rural upstate NY with my 1 and 1/2 year old Pem Tucker. He is a black headed tri, thinks he's the Mayor or at least the center of the universe, and a sweet boy. He loves everybody and tries his best to demonstrate by jumping up and kissing, complete w/ tongue if you don't watch out. We are working on the jumping part, the tongue thing is a lost cause.

Tomorrow our household will grow by one! We are bringing home a 11 week old Cardigan Welsh Corgi I have named Lulu (Visions Be Bop A Lula). Lulu is black and white w/ brindle points. My perceptions of her personality so far is that she is very reflective. She will sit, carefully observe, then make her move complete with little black tail/w white tip wagging away! Of course, when treats are involved - it's every man for himself. She's ruthless.

Tucker is my first dog. We have managed pretty well (he's still alive, hasn't mamed anyone, has passed Puppy K, Beginner's Obedience, and Beginning Agility). What has become clear is that he is not meant to be an only dog.

Enter Lulu! Hope I will be as lucky the 2nd time arround. I am taking a week off from work to help Lulu get adjusted to her new home. Crate, Canidae (breeder's suggestion), new leash + collar + harness, ID tags, chew toys, pink Kong (yes, pink!),piddle pads, Nature's miracle, and most importantly new X pen are all waiting.

Tuck and Lulu met the other night. A few low growls from Tuck but they sniffed each other then went their separate ways. Neither particularly impressed with the other so very uneventful. Don't know if it's good or bad! At least they didn't snarl or snark at each other.

Tuck's pals Jackie and Rupert's Mom Deb suggested we join Gocorgi. Looking forward to reading and learning more.

I had the great fortune to speak with Deb by phone last night and am pleased to report she sounds like she is doing great following the loss of beautiful Riley. My heart breaks for her and Rupert but I know Tuck will be swimming iat the bridge w/ Riley one day and they will have a blast.

As soon as I can figure out how to post pictures, I will share Tuck and Lulu with all.
