Let's play Find the Corgi.

So Miranda sometimes takes to hiding herself under things, like climbing under the sheets and blankets in our bed. Here is a prime example:



And here is the up close shot:


What a goofy dog!

Oh and we cover our furniture with sheets, and when guests come over, we remove the sheets so they don't get dog hair all over them.

That is cute.

Aww. So cute. I want a corgi for my next dog. How is the shedding?

It's absolutely terrible. They told us she was a medium shedder. Medium shedder my ass; she sheds all year long; it's a constant battle.

Yeah, I had a corgi growing up. My mom brushed huge wads of fur off her all the time and she still shed like a mofo.

I use the furminator on her every day, and although it helps, she still sheds a lot (damn undercoat). Thankfully we have hardwood floors, so getting the hair off the ground is very easy with a Swiffer (which we have to do every day).

Miranda cannot jump on the furniture (her legs are too short, LOL), so that helps out with the dog hair. But it still gets on it, and I doubt anyone would want to come to our apartment if they knew they'd end up covered in fur. So annoying!

So the point of this long drawn out post is if you don't want a dog that sheds a ton, a corgi is not for you.

The best gift we got our maid was the Swiffer. My MIL actually sent her one so she could have one in her own home!

She's so funny!

Bowser does that!

If he gets cold in the middle of the night, we'll find him at the foot of the bed under the extra covers that pool onto the floor. Usually, if anything is sticking out its the tip of his nose or the end of his tail.

Adorable. :]

Aww your dog is adorable!!!

[mamasaurus]

LOL.

[RoxMonster]

Aww so cute.

Our lab mix sheds (I'm sure not as horrible as your Corgi) and we have to vacuum daily, esp. the hardwood where it shows. I got a handheld pet vacuum that is cordless and I take that out every other day to vacuum the couch and the comforter. It actually works really well and is lightweight. I just have to make sure to plug it in and charge it in between uses.

So cute!! I love Corgis so much. When we adopted our dog this past summer, I was on the hunt for a Corgi, but every time one would turn up in a shelter, it'd be gone by the time we got there.

We ended up with another border collie mix. (Our last dog was a border collie/aussie shepherd mix.) She sheds a lot, but not as bad as the bc/aussie mix did! He had a double coat, so he'd basically end up molting twice a year - when he'd blow his undercoat. It was awful! But his coat was beautiful.

Aww, you're girl is funny and cute! I love, love, love having a Corgi - they are such great, quirky little dogs.

I've been meaning to thank you for recommending the Furmniator! It's really helped us keep up with his shedding.

Find the kitty.

She is pleased that I'm working on the afghan and she can have her nap spot.
