<br />
My little brother was born last December, and it's been a lot of work keeping up with two little siblings.<br />
<br />
My little sister is almost two years old, and my little brother will be one before I know it!<br />
<br />
It's safe to say my life is the best it has ever been, and it's only going to get better.<br />
<br />
As a four year old, I have lots of wisdom to share, and I take my big sister responsibilities very seriously.<br />
<br />
I make sure to give my brother and sister lots of kisses, and I'm teaching my little sister how to throw the ball and play tug. She still needs some practice, but I'm...reasonably...patient. :)<br />
<br />
I'm not expecting to post here again for a while. However, I will be posting on my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/GoGotheCorgi" target="_blank">Facebook page</a>.<br />

It's the best: big shady trees, a sloping hill and giant rocks, even some agility equipment where I can show of my skills...<br />
<br />

(Or I could anyway, if I ever had any agility practice...)<br />
<br />
In my family, Fall is our favorite season. We get out more, because the weather is a little bit cooler, but still not too cold for my baby sister. Plus, we all look really beautiful against a backdrop of autumn leaves!<br />
<br />

I'm enjoying the dog park extra this Fall, because Momma says there's another little sibling coming my way - a boy this time, due just after Christmas. I know it's going to mean that we can't go out together for a little while, but I'm not worried. My sister and I have finally found a game which we both know how to play (mostly she pretends to crawl towards me and I run around like a crazy pup!), and I think she's trying to learn to fetch. Being a big sister is seriously tough, but I'm such a professional, I'm sure I can handle another babe to care for!<br />

And I'm having a great birthday. I got presents, hung out with my friends at school, and, most importantly, I finished my dinner and had the puppy version of birthday cake - a great big cookie!<br />

Since I'm famous, I also made sure to let the adoring public know about my birthday. I was Instagrammed and Facebooked of course. Then I got all sorts of love from Corgi nation when I was posted on The Daily Corgi's Facebook page:<br />

You should check out the comments - people are saying the nicest things, like<br />
<br />

and my personal favorite...<br />
"You are a Corgi through and through with your mind on the cookies and the cookies on your mind!"<br />
<br />
It's only natural that I would have a fan club, since I am a beautiful Corgi, right? I appreciate my friends at The Daily Corgi letting everyone know about my big day!<br />

Fluffy butts :)<br />

Now, I must be going. The very last item on my birthday to-do list is to snuggle my fluffy butt up to my family and listen to them say how much they love me over and over and over again. Happy birthday to me!!!</div>

But as far as I knew up until this year trick-or-treat was basically just a myth. We never had many people come to our house for candy. It probably didn't help that in the past two years we've had October snow and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=399070020161843&set=a.151862591549255.34342.143429832392531&type=1&theater" target="_blank">a hurricane</a>.<br />

Oh, this year!!<br />
<br />
This year on Halloween we learned something great about the street we now live on - everyone trick-or-treats here! It's like they come from all over town to knock on my door!<br />
<br />
We had so many trick-or-treat-ers that we even ran out of candy. The street sounded like a block party and the cars just kept coming. It was easily my favorite night of the year, since meeting brand new people is one of my most favorite activities. Plus, most of them were just my size!<br />

I sat outside with my family for a long time giving candy to all of the cutest kids in costume. Mostly they loved me, and even those who were afraid I was able to win over with a sweet look and a tail wag. I'm a very charming dog, you know!<br />

She's almost two weeks old, and already my family has been enjoying our newest member so much.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, I can't post a picture of my little sister where you can see her face, because my parents are working hard to protect her privacy as someone so new in the world. But don't worry, I'll be posting a lot about our adventures together without breaking the new security rules.<br />
<br />
I'm finding that with little siblings come a lot of new rules. I learned right away that I can give my little sister kisses, but not too many and not on her belly. I've learned to mind the stroller when we walk together. I also learned in our first crazy nights together that I can protect my little sister, but I don't actually have to fret over her every time she makes a noise. In fact, I'm so used to the new routine already that now I don't even wake up every time my little sister cries at night, because I know Momma and Dadda will take care of it. Besides, a girl like me needs her beauty rest...<br />

I'm still working on our new strict rules about barking in the house. I've already improved greatly when it comes to having visitors here. It helped that my friend Kim brought me some gifts when she came to see the baby. Let's not forget that I still live here and am very special, too!<br />
<br />
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to playtime with Dad. I can't get playtime whenever I want it anymore - have to work it all around the baby's schedule - but it's worth it. My little sister and I are definitely going to be best friends!GoGohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14656106536937457318noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768315489746408652.post-90739076800179135742013-09-16T16:36:00.001-07:002013-09-16T16:37:15.531-07:00Best Day Ever...Again.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I don't have a little sister, yet, but that's okay, because I've been making the most of every day I have left as the only baby girl in my family!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This weekend was an especially great one. Momma and Dadda were working around the house a lot of the weekend, getting ready for my little sister, since she is supposed to be born any day now... So, I got to spend a lot of time with them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And even though they went to the botanical gardens on Sunday morning, I was okay with it, because I needed some nap times...and, we went to the dog park in the afternoon!</div>

My favorite thing to do, though, is just to relax next to my Momma and Dadda. I know that our new adventure with my little sister will be full of all kinds of changes, but as long as I have my parents, I know it will be great.<br />

I've had to wait a long time for my baby sister to arrive, but it's getting much more exciting now that her "due" date is less than a month away.<br />
<br />
<i>(Secretly I hope that she'll come a little bit early, and Momma does too... shhhh)</i><br />
<br />
Now, while I wait, I have a lot still to do. For one thing, I have to keep a tight watch over Momma. This is made easier by the fact that she moves more slowly these days and eats much more often. Next, I have to shop for deals on my favorite treats so that I am well-stocked with things to do during our big adjustment time as a family. I'm also fully participating in story time when Dadda reads to my baby sister at night, and, probably most importantly, I'm soaking up all of the attention I can get.<br />

Just yesterday, in order to soak up extra attention and keep my guard post by Momma, I spent some really fun mother-daughter time at a park downtown, and the city has worked hard to revitalize what once was not nearly as nice as it is now. Yesterday was my first visit to the renovated park.<br />

That's why I'm the perfect partner for Momma's camera practice.<br />

I didn't know until we arrived at the park that I would have the opportunity to take a dip in the water, but once I found that out, we really fell in love with the place.<br />
<br />
We also met a nice photographer friend by the river, named Paul, who took some photos of me, too, with a camera even nicer than ours. Here's his best work with this most beautiful subject!<br />

What have you been up to? I hope your summer has been as much fun as mine, spending time as a family, visiting with relatives and taking some adventures. Now it's nearly Fall, and I'm finally going to get to be a big sister!!

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I can't imagine why anyone would want to stop making muttos. The outside and the inside are two different delicious flavors, and the size is perfect for my dessert every day. Now I'm going to have to settle for off-brand dog treats that aren't even sweet-potato-flavored. It's a tough life.<br />
<br />
So, to keep my mind off of this bad news, I need your help:<br />
<br />
I want to submit my photo to the 2014 Corgi Butts <a href="http://corgibutts.blogspot.com/2013/07/2014-calendar-contest.html" target="_blank">calendar contest</a>, and I need to know which picture you think will give me the best chance of winning. I don't mean to brag or anything, but, as one of the prettiest dogs around, I think it would be fun to launch my modeling career by getting into this calendar.<br />
<br />
Will you help me decide which of these photos to submit for the contest?<br />
<br />
The first ones are from when I was just little, so that you remember how terribly cute I am. My more serious potential submissions are below. Keep in mind that this is for a calendar, so a seasonal photo may do best.<br />

Lately it's been so hot that if I try to go for too long of a walk I start to slow down in the middle of it... I get so hot and tired that sometimes I even lay down in the grass before the walk is over!<br />
<br />

<br />
I think maybe it should only be this hot on one day of the year, and that day is the 4th of July!<br />
<br />
Everyone in my family loves to celebrate the 4th of July together. It's the perfect day for it to be hot outside, because we can go swimming and eat all the best hot weather foods, like fruit and hamburgers and ice cream. I love to eat all of those things! Did you know they make ice cream for doggies? And, well, you already know how much I love swimming...<br />

<br />
There's just one thing I'd like to change about the 4th of July -<br />
<br />
Can we get rid of fireworks?<br />
<br />
I don't know about you, but I don't like all of the noise that fireworks make. It's too sudden and it doesn't make any sense to me, so I bark and howl like my own personal alarm system. Then I have to put on my Thundershirt - it's designed specially to help me feel calm. I don't mind snuggling up with my momma and wearing my Thundershirt.<br />
<br />
But, um...<br />
<br />
How do I say this politely?...<br />
<br />

<br />
I kind of think this shirt makes my butt look big!<br />
<br />
So let's just get rid of fireworks, okay? Maybe we can come up with a different night-time hot weather holiday tradition, like chasing lightning bugs, or eating peanut butter sundaes. In the meantime, let's focus on my good side -<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here, I'll give you a hint:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK46ckufpLP6toSkJA5eIUJdMFRFt9uGafelj7KRblDFjChA8DmOoRRwsJQKotBTDk9RwGCvURfGwoUQZ3cVnbyDM2nAcWIj0bvhhoxCrHhY_SZeT7gHytf36mPSXDqSkd9wGV7wMiaErw/s1600/IMG_1636.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK46ckufpLP6toSkJA5eIUJdMFRFt9uGafelj7KRblDFjChA8DmOoRRwsJQKotBTDk9RwGCvURfGwoUQZ3cVnbyDM2nAcWIj0bvhhoxCrHhY_SZeT7gHytf36mPSXDqSkd9wGV7wMiaErw/s400/IMG_1636.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That's right! I went on a BIG car trip!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Mom and Dad loaded all of our things into the car and we spent 12 hours on the road in order to get to Ohio. I didn't mind the long drive, mostly because car rides make me sleepy, and because it was worth the long trip to get where we were going!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLmJ9dXedKWZE1SSiRDoGttjlDQVAhZjFrYI_2PaaFaHhPQtf-OidhqRlVtDNdDNLAsNME3Szmx_xbU3U_GUi1tm674miO_A9TrZYN-zpnnZy7pkOZeXTUw2_Cjf6gCYSAjO0DZZeSy5tz/s1600/IMG_1655.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLmJ9dXedKWZE1SSiRDoGttjlDQVAhZjFrYI_2PaaFaHhPQtf-OidhqRlVtDNdDNLAsNME3Szmx_xbU3U_GUi1tm674miO_A9TrZYN-zpnnZy7pkOZeXTUw2_Cjf6gCYSAjO0DZZeSy5tz/s320/IMG_1655.JPG" width="320" /></a>My dad's grandparents live in Ohio and let us stay with them, which is great because they have the coolest possible house. It's set up like a big circle with each room leading to the next and the next and the next and then back to the first, so when I run around it I never have to stop or change directions. One hallway is the perfect ramp for playing ball, and in the middle of the house there's a place where I can go outside without my leash. It's like they designed the whole thing with playful puppies in mind. In this photo you can see my pal Sophie out in the enclosed part of the yard.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And if the house itself wasn't fun enough already, the family we saw on our trip to Ohio made it even better still. I saw my dad's parents - my friends in Room 25 know his mom as your teacher!<br />
<br />
I spent a lot of my time on this trip to Ohio playing with Sophie and Penny. Penny loves to run, just like me, and we chased each other around and around the house. Penny must not know other dogs who can bark as loudly as I can - you should have seen the surprise on her face the first time she heard me! She's only little, and she's younger than me, so I tried to teach Penny a little bit about being tough. Here she is hanging out with me.<br />

I had tons of fun on vacation with my family, and I already can't wait to see them all again. I think one of the best things about vacation is spending time with people we love.<br />
<br />

My friends, you must have been so busy in these past two weeks!!<br />
<br />
You wrote about friends, games, faraway places, zoo animals, and going on airplanes. You also wrote about one of my favorite things: swimming.<br />
<br />
Did you celebrate the Fourth of July while you were on vacation, too?<br />
<br />

I hope that you had a fun time, and that you are ready to work hard back in Room 25! I always love vacation, but I love coming home to my routine, too.<br />
<br />
See? Here I am, back at home in Connecticut, cozy in my own bed, dreaming sweetly of family and the fun that I've had...<br />

Dear friends, I want to write to you, of course, about my trip, but I'm afraid that will have to wait until I catch up on my rest.<br />
<br />
When we first got home, I checked out the house to make sure all was as it should be, then Momma and Dadda went to get some lunch. See, even after 12 total hours of naps in the car since yesterday, and a good night's rest when we stopped at a hotel halfway back from Ohio, I'm still one tired puppy today. When my parents got home from lunch, this is how they found me.<br />

I didn't even lift my head when they opened my crate! Just moved a paw aside to get some belly rubs.<br />

I had so much fun reading about their friends, I was thinking about what they wrote. One thing that stands out to me is that lots of us have things in common with our friends and family. That's one of the best things about the people that we love, right? We are a lot like each other, and we like to do lots of the same things.<br />
<br />
I know that's one of the best things about me and my momma. I always say we're just alike, and even now that she's pregnant, we still have lots of things in common!<br />

See her belly? There's a baby in there. But I won't let that make us too different. Now that Momma's pregnant, we're both a little porky. She said she has to gain weight to make room for my little sister, and I say I have to gain weight too so that she feels good about her bigger-than-normal belly.<br />
<br />
<div class="p1">
Also now that she's pregnant, Momma sleeps with a body pillow on her side. I like that idea, so when I fall asleep around a toy or a foot, I use it as my own body pillow.</div>

I'm so glad to hear from you again! I was happy to find out that you are learning about gardens. I'm an expert helper in my mom's garden, chewing the sticks that we find and chasing the water from the hose!</div>

I hope that you had a fun weekend; I know I did. On Friday, I went to school. Most of my friends live in my neighborhood, go to my school, or play at my park, and that's how I know them. Friends in Room 25, I bet you have different friends at school and at home, too. That's what it's like for me.<br />
<br />
I don't have a cell phone or a digital camera of my own, so I don't have too many pictures of my school friends. Here's one of me and my classmates from my certificate when I passed some of my first exams, though!<br />
<br />

I like this photo because I think it makes it look like I'm the lead singer in a puppy band.<br />
<br />
Most of the friends I make hang out at the park with me. I have a few photos of those friends, like this one of me with one of my oldest friends: Murphy.<br />

At the park with my friends, we run a lot and sometimes paw at our ears and the ground. My best friends are the dogs who are tough enough to wrestle or play tug with me, but I know not every puppy likes to do that, so I choose those friends carefully.<br />

I have some people friends too, of course. Most of my neighborhood friends are people, and what I love most is when my friends come over to my house. Lots of times they even bring food! Here I am with my friend Alex when she came to visit our old house, before we moved:<br />

And now I'm getting really excited for my little sister to be born in September. I heard that having a sibling is like having a permanent friend, right? I'm going to teach her how to play, and to be smart and strong like me.GoGohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14656106536937457318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768315489746408652.post-41829354496706816542013-06-12T19:32:00.003-07:002013-09-16T04:40:45.599-07:00Summer SchoolLast year I wrote a post called <a href="http://gogothecorgi.blogspot.com/2012/08/summer-school.html" target="_blank">'Summer School,'</a> because I was taking a class at puppy school. It was hard work, but I got to have a lot of fun, too.<br />
<br />
This year I'll be studying again - my family has a lot to do to get ready for my little sister to arrive, and my task is to learn better manners when I'm walking on my leash.<br />
<br />
But my summer studies aren't why I wanted to write a new 'Summer School' post this year. I'm calling this post 'Summer School' in honor of my new friends in Room 25 at in Missouri!<br />
<br />
Dear friends, I heard you were reading my blog, and I got your letter!<br />

I love playing in the mud!! Don't let my white paws fool you - I like digging in the dirt, jumping in mud puddles, and rolling in anything that doesn't smell too good. That includes mud, worms, even dirty laundry. There's only one thing I don't like about playing in smelly, dirty things like mud.<br />
<br />
Can you guess what it is?<br />

Yep. Bath time.<br />
<br />
I know, I said I like water, but bath time is totally different! Sure, I get treats when I get a bath, but I also have to let Dad get me all soapy and then dry me off. It's a bummer. At least in the summer I can rinse off in the pool sometimes and don't always have to get a bath. Thank goodness for the swimming pool!<br />
<br />
So, friends in Room 25, I hope that you are having a fun summer! What are you going to study? I'll keep you updated while I learn my manners and take time for some vacations as well. I hope you'll write back to me sometimes about your adventures, too!GoGohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14656106536937457318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768315489746408652.post-33794000940666519692013-06-10T18:44:00.003-07:002013-06-10T18:44:58.223-07:00Summertime, and the Livin' Is EasyI love the summer for lots of reasons, and one of the biggest reasons is this:<br />

Here I am on a recent trip to the beach with my momma. We love living close enough to walk to the water, and we like to walk there at low tide when there are lots of salty smells to explore and rocks to climb. I have to stay on my leash, though, so I don't get to do a lot of swimming at the beach.<br />

Naturally I'm just beside myself with excitement. I'm going to teach her to be tough and independent like me, and to love Momma and Dadda just as much as I do. I'll still be the one to make up the rules to all of our favorite games, but she won't mind, because she'll be good at all the things I'm good at I think she's going to love to play soccer. And she'll just be so beautiful, it will be like having a twin!</div>

Lots of people just get birthdays, but I get an extra holiday to celebrate every year on my adoption day. It's the day when I met my most wonderful momma and my best ever dad. I'll have to tell my little brother or sister next year on my adoption day all about how things were when I was just little bitty..<br />

I didn't even know I loved rugs, but last month, this happened:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

That's my old apartment, suddenly empty! I went to camp one day, and came home to a brand new place...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
...with hardwood floors...</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
...and no rugs.</div>
<br />
There are several things that a girl like me can't do without rugs. Examples include playing tug (my back feet slide too much to pull!), chasing a soccer ball (I skid past the ball on these slippery floors!), and napping in a warm spot after a bath.<br />
<br />
So, until we could get some rugs, we set up a pretend rug with a sleeping bag in front of the couch:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
At least I could get some toys out and relax, but this "rug" slid all over. I offered to give up a few bully sticks out of my regular monthly allowance in order to help my family afford rugs - I assume bully sticks are very expensive, since they're the best possible thing. Luckily, I didn't have to do that, but slowly, over the next few weeks, rugs started to show up at my house:<br />

Now that I have rugs at home, and all my things are in my new apartment, I feel comfortable here. Our neighborhood is great for walks - I already have friends on my street, and I often walk just a few blocks to the beach to run and get my paws wet chasing the small waves.</div>

We can't wait for the weather to keep getting warmer so that we can enjoy the new place even more. For now, all this hard work of moving has worn me out this month. This little family needs our rest!<br />

If I lived there, I'd be hanging out with those kids today! But I don't live there yet, so I'm just hanging out with Mom and Dad, on the lawn by the big museum across the street.</div>

Nothing can stop me from running and playing with my dad. The only thing about snow is that I have to leap like a bunny to get after him. Luckily, it also means that I'm slowed down enough to have the leash dropped while we play.<br />

Because he just got a little sister recently and doesn't get as much of his momma's attention as usual, and because it's winter so neither of us gets out as much as we like, we're both much too busy to pose for a photo lately.</div>

I get a lot of nap time during the week. On weekends, I stay so busy that naps become precious, so I catch them when I can. The great thing about weekend naps is that I can usually take them on the couch. Most preferably, on someone who's on the couch.</div>

<br />
Some people might think that short legs would be a disadvantage, but I'm faster and stronger than lots of doggies with legs longer than mine, which I think makes it even cooler that my legs are so little in the first place. You already saw me shoot across the field like a rocket to get my soccer ball.. Do you know that I can also jump extremely high, even from a sitting position? My short legs are no disadvantage - in fact, they give me extra power for things like picking up speed immediately and turning sharp corners because I'm so low to the ground.<br />
<br />
Anyway, there are other things that are better about short legs, too. One of them is that short legs are CUTE. And they're extra cute when I perform my favorite tricks.<br />
<br />
Here's one trick that's way cuter with short legs:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I've been able to do this one for a while now. See the carrot on my paw? I LOVE carrots, but in this trick, I wait until Daddy says it's okay to devour that sweet treat. I have to be even smarter than a regular puppy when I do this trick, because my short legs place my paw - and the delectable carrot on top of it - right in front of my nose.. so close I can almost literally taste it while I'm waiting to chomp it! Such a tough test of patience.<br />
<br />
Now in the past week I've learned another trick that's cuter with short legs:<br />

<br />
<br />
I'm so excited about my new trick that I sometimes can't even wait to be told to do it! Why wouldn't I do something that's so super cute it earns me extra treats and affection from everyone?!<br />
<br />
Remember: Just because other people see something about you as a disadvantage doesn't mean that it has to be one. Maybe it's just that special something that makes you extra cute!GoGohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14656106536937457318noreply@blogger.com2
