Clairiese
came to us when she was three months old. She was small for a
Corgi, but made up for it in personality. She constantly pushes the
envelope, trying new things, testing her ability to outsmart us and gain
the upper hand - not out of meanness - but just to see if we are as smart
as she is. She quickly obeys when we discover her newest ploy.
She has a ball obsession. If there is a ball in the area, she will have
it at my feet, with a impatient look on her face, waiting for me to
throw it. If I ignore this, she will dribble the ball at my feet to
make sure I know it is there. If I continue to ignore her, she throws
the ball at me, if I am sitting, she throws it in my lap. As a last
resort she vocally tells me, with a series of grumbles, that I should
play with her.
Because of Clairiese and her unique personality, in less than a year
from the time that she came to live with us, we started a non-profit,
501(c)3 Corgi and corgi mix rescue which we named Corgi & Critters
N.E.T. Rescue, Inc. We currently only have one foster home - our own -
and in the first full year of rescue, we rescued 21 dogs and rehomed 15.
The others are either still in rescue or have been placed in matching
homes since the beginning of our second year.
Clairiese has enjoyed most of the fosters and tolerated the others
infringement on her family's time. Without Clairiese, many Corgis,
Corgi mixes and even a few unidentified mixes might not have found new
lives in loving homes.
