SHAKE, RATTLE, ROLL and the "TRUFFLE SHUFFLE"

The Case of the Crazy Corgi

Marion Pellicano Ambrose

If you’ve ever had a Corgi, you know that they have teeny, tiny legs and a BIG, BIG heart! Our Dudley is no exception. He’s fiercely loyal and adores my husband and me. He loves to play fetch with his squeaky raccoon and adores having his belly rubbed. Sounds like a pretty normal, happy go lucky, little pup, wouldn’t you say?

Dudley always got along with our other dogs, and even our cat, Piper (RIP). He and our Sheltie, Gracie would run around the yard, snuggle and even eat from the same bowl, at the same time! Life was beautiful. One of Dudley’s favorite occurrences was when Grandma came to visit. He’d follow her around, lay on her feet and eat up all the granmotherly love she showered on him. Then, out of the blue it happened. Dudley turned into the crazy Corgi!

IT'S A DOG'S LIFE

Marion Pellicano Ambrose

If it’s true that the type of dog you own says something about you, then I’m in big trouble! And if owners really do look like their dogs, it’s much, much worse than I thought! We have 4 dogs. The first is a 15 year old half schitzu / half silkie terrier. She’s totally deaf, has only 3 teeth, and her breath can kill. Our second dog is a Welsh Pembroke Corgi named Dudley. He’s nervous, waddles when he walks and is the epitome of stubborn! Dog #3 is a sheltie that we rescued. She was abused and used to be scared to death of men.
