We’ve Adopted a New Rescue Furkid!

I haven’t been around here all that much lately. Our little 12 1/2 year old Tibetan spaniel, Sasha, became very ill and ended up in the vet hospital three times. Despite all our efforts, she crossed over the Rainbow Bridge a while back. It broke our hearts! But, being such huge dog lovers, we finally decided to look for another rescue dog to adopt.

Meet Teddy! This little guy is a 16 pound Corgi-mix, according to his veterinarian. They believe he’s approximately two years old, which means he’s full grown. He looks very much like DD’s rescue Corgi-mix, Kip, that she adopted from the same rescue group about 6 months ago. But Kip, who is also full grown and six years old, is a lot bigger, so obviously a different mix than our little Teddy.

To say that I’m already over the moon crazy about Teddy would be a huge understatement! I’m not all that familiar about the Corgi breed yet, but both Teddy and Kip are so mellow, quiet, friendly and so affectionate. Our little boy has definitely found his forever home!

    What a cute a sweet looking boy. My only experience with Corgi is one that followed me in the driveway as I arrived home one day. I hadn't even seen it but the friend who was here asked where did the dog come from that came home with you. I opened the garage door to it patiently waiting to come in, it went into my kitchen and asked for water.

    My neighbor just below us on the hill has had corgis. Her sister up the street has three. My visitor belonged to her sister and was given a ride home 😊

    Lucky doggie & lucky you! Those liquid brown eyes make you fall in love with him at first sight! I’m so sorry for your loss of Sasha. It is heartbreaking when we lose our dogs. All the happiness and love they bring into our lives is why it’s so painful to lose them. They just don’t live long enough. It’s obvious Teddy will have a wonderful life with his new family and help you remember Sasha with love and knowing you did your best for her.

    He is beautiful and looks to have settled in quite well. Corgis are such wonderful dogs. Lucky you and lucky Teddy. When our hearts are broken, I think we do need to heal another 's heart and adopt again.

    Olychick, About 6 months ago while our DD was still living with us, she/we adopted a Corgi-mix from a local rescue group. That is Kip. I adored that sweet boy and was so sad when DD got a place of their own down in town, but nearby so we see them a lot.

    Sorry for your loss, and so happy for your new addition. He looks perfect in your house and family.

    I don't know how I developed this but I have a thing for corgis. Enjoy him!

    Oh my gosh, Corgis are wonderful. We've known a fair number, follow a couple on IG and don't forget --- the Queen!

    I'm so happy for you. Sometimes the path forward through grief is hidden and sometimes the path that will make grief survivable with some grace --- appears. Welcome Teddy!!
