What a Great Dog

I was so proud of Trekker yesterday! You never know how the dogs are going to handle a new situation until it arrives. I knew that Trekker liked kids, but he’d never had them invade his house. I was sure that he would initially like the attention and giving kisses, but how would he be an hour or two into the invasion? My niece and her two daughters were here for a Christmas celebration. Savanah, age 4, squealed with delight as soon as she saw Trekker and off they went to play. Trekker handled having little girls at the house like he’d been raised with kids. In fact, you’d think I had two corgis here the way they frapped together. Up, over, and around the furniture the two went. I was tired just watching them. For several hours they matched puppy energy with kid energy. When they left both puppy and girls were exhausted, naps were needed by both.
Shiloh, on the other hand, took the more reserved attitude. He enjoyed giving kisses when a young face was stuck in front of his and would take gentle pats, but otherwise he slept off to the side out of the commotion.

You will find that MOST Corgis are that way...ours have yet to meet a kid they didn't like! :) They love giving kisses!! In fact, we had a few of ours at the "Meet the Breed" last year at the January Des Moines show (which, by the way, is coming up the weekend of 1/17/09), and they spent the whole hour giving face washings to anyone that happened to get a little too close! LOL They can be a little reserved, in the beginning, but give them a couple of minutes and they are fine.

Just another reason I love both breeds of Corgis. :)

Happy New Year!
