Newbie!!

[EinsMom]

Hi I am new to the forum. I am a pem lover and have my 3 yr old red and white boy Ein. Hoping to get a female tri someday. As nerdy as it sounds I started wanting a pem when I watched the show Cowboy Bebop, then I met a pem in person and instantly fell in love! He is so smart! Maybe one day I'll have a whole clan. Much love for the pems!

Vyki, I waited almost forty five years to get a Pem after seeing one on a Wonderful World of Disney show. "Little Dog Lost" which has just been released on DVD. Duchess was worth waiting for and I can appreciate her all the more at my age.

Hi Vyki! Welcome to GoCorgi! Lot's of great people here...glad you found the site. ...and we do expect pictures....lots of pictures!

You've certainly started on the right footing - a Pem named Ein which must be getting close to being the most popular name for a boy Corgi these days.

Wikipedia says:


Ein is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi brought aboard the Bebop by Spike after a failed attempt to capture a bounty. Ein is a "data dog": while the televised series only briefly hints on the fact that this means Ein's brain was somehow enhanced drastically, the manga shows Ed accessing data stored in Ein's brain via a virtual reality-type interface with which she has a conversation with a human proprietor. It is obvious that Ein is abnormally intelligent, as he is able to answer the telephone, drive a car (just the wheel), use the SSW, play shogi, and generally perform tasks that an average canine should not be able to do, but he never talks in a human language during the show. Ein's abnormal intelligence is made obvious in Session 23: "Brain Scratch" when the "Brain Dream" gaming device is placed on Ein's head. Ein quickly navigates the system and hacks the network. He speaks in Session 18 "Speak Like A Child" after the credits Ein tells Spike "Next Episode: Wild Horses". He is able to "speak" to other species, as demonstrated in Session 17, "Mushroom Samba" (he spoke to a cow with a subtitled bark of "Thanks", to which the cow has a subtitled moo back of "No problem"). It is likely that Ed is the only crew member with any idea of Ein's capabilities, as the other crew members are quick to dismiss Ein, and never seem to acknowledge him as more than a pet. Ein initially takes a shine to Jet, but when Ed joins the crew, he comes around to her as well. Frequently the two trade roles, with Ein expressing very human sentiments via facial expression and Ed regressing to a feral state. He went with Ed after she left the crew, probably because of his attachment to her. His name is a pun on the Japanese word for "dog" (inu) but is also German for "a" (the indefinite article) and similar to the German word for "one", "eins". "Ein" may also be short for "Einstein", after Albert Einstein, because of the extraordinary intelligence he possesses.

Ein is to Corgi today as Snoopy was to Beagle in the 1960's -70's.

In terms of Welsh boy names, Ein is a shortened form (nickname) for Einion, which means "anvil".

Ein is one smart dog. Love Cowboy Behop and got some great jazz on the soundtrack.
