It's a girl!

We got Winnie, short for Wing Chun from the humane society. She is Welsh Cardigan Corgi. Ruff Ruff

Winnie is between 1-2 years old. She was taken to the humane society without tags. A couple of boys found her and brought her in. She has a very sweet temperament so far. The day we adopted her was her first day on the adoption floor. She was spaded the day before we got her. We went to the humane society to look at another dog we saw on their internet listings. We spent some time with her and really like the way she responded to Geneva. We planned on spending time with a couple other dogs but after spending time with another dog we wanted to see Winnie again. When we played with her the second time we decided without telling the kids we were going to adopt her. She didn’t want to leave the playroom when it was time to take her back to her area. Her name was Gina at the pound. So we of course called her Geneva! The name they picked for her at the pound was real cute but it was too close to Geneva’s name. She is an English breed, so her nickname is English. My neighbor across the street said Corgi’s are the dogs the Queen of England has. Isaac and Lilly are extremely happy about her. My dad told me they are diggers and he was right, when we got home from the vet yesterday she dug a hole to put her treat in and also tried to dig a hole to put her play ball in. We will have to be careful she doesn’t dig under the fence out back and get loose. Housetraining is coming along ok so far. One accident in the house but I guess that is to be expected. We don’t have any information on her so we really don’t know if she has been housetrained and everything else. She is a blank slate to us. She is very good natured and doesn’t bark easily.
