When
we decided it was time to get our first dog for our new home Mike and
I found a breeder with a batch of brand new cuddly, wriggling Cardigan
Corgi pups and we adored every one. How would we ever choose?!? But then
the breeder said there's one more you might want to meet and brought out
Molly. She ran into the room, sized us up, and leapt into my lap. It was
love at first sight, all around. Molly was a five month old who hadn't
found the right home yet. She was past the brief, precious, squishy puppy
stage that turns me into a cooing, babbling goof. But she seemed special.
Squishy, wriggling puppies didn't stand a chance!
I returned a few weeks later to bring her home. And when I brought her
home I realized that her instant acceptance of Mike and me was a unique
occurrence. She is a shy girl, and it takes a lot of effort and good
behavior for anyone else to gain her trust.
It's impossible to have a bad day when Molly is around. Even crabby old
men laugh when they see her during one of our walks in the park because
she exudes joy and humor. I've always had dogs, and I've loved every last
one. I believe that a house isn't truly a home without a dog. But Molly is
more than just a pet. I'm pretty sure she's a once in a lifetime gift.
She's a well trained dog, but Corgis are also know to be master people
trainers, and she lives up to expectations! She has an intelligence, humor
and devotion that I thought could only be found in "Lassie" type legends.
Recently it was her her sixth birthday. We started the day with a long
walk along the riverfront, where she watched the ducks, but didn't chase
them (good dog!) and watched the squirrels until I gave her permission to
chase them (again, good dog!). We didn't run into any crabby old men, but
she certainly made me laugh, and so it started out as another good day, as
it always has since she joined the family.
