Dogs
Hi! Four years ago after my last dog died, we got our first Corgi, Jones. Jones is the most common Welsh name so that seemed appropriate. Jones was such a busy dog, busy body, I thought he needed a friend, so we got Cariad, Cari for short, another Corgi. Cariad means 'sweetheart' in the Welsh language. I walk them a few miles each day. Jones barks too much and Cari gets into everything, but I cannot imagine life without them. Jones has anxiety attacks when he rides in the car and has eaten through one seat belt that we have replaced. (wow, are they expensive!). However, he is doing a little better now and we keep trying to train him. I believe in positive reinforcement in dog training, but must admit that sometimes a 2x4 seems like a good alternative. Both of them are neutered of course. Jones is really almost show quality except for his missing parts. But I think Cari is a product of a puppy mill. Nevertheless, both of them are very lovable and keep us happy and moving around. I hope someone is inspired to tell me a dog story or should I say a dog tail. Best, Jane
