We had a lovely corgi called Skippy and when he
was older he suddenly had a heart attack and quietly died.
We were both so grief stricken. We were not in a hurry to
get another dog as the hurt was so great and we felt we
needed time.
However after a little while, a friend, from
Fielding way, rang us to say that the SPCA in Fielding
had, in their article in the local paper, a Corgi called
Emily, who they were looking for a new home for. So Ray
rang the Fielding SPCA and we went over there. And yes we
both fell in love with Emily and after having our property
checked, re having her, we brought her home.
Emily is such a happy young lady, she has settled
with us so well. She is very well behaved, learns very
quickly, loves a game, loves her squeaky toys, and best of
all loves a soft fluffy fox toy that once belonged to our
now adult children.
I became ill a number of years ago and Emily
walks with me each afternoon. She is so lovely to walk
with, she is interested in the whole wide world and is
making lots of friends in the area as well. It is very
good for my health for me to walk each day and even better
for my health to have such a lovely companion to walk
with.
Emily has a great love of going in the cab of the
truck that Ray uses for work. She is so funny in the truck
and looks out the window, and gets so excited when she
sees all the sheep and cows that we pass along the way. We
get the feeling that she would like to be out herding the
animals up. Plus we take her to a Lake in Masterton and
she loves it there. However she cannot understand how we
can take her there and we will not let her off the lead so
that she can round up the ducks.
Emily has her own special little dog bed yes on
the floor of our bedroom where all our dogs have slept.
She tucks down in her bed at night and sleeps through
which is lovely for her and for us.
