Walking My Welsh Corki

Gemini Cricket · 01-03-2006, 08:20 AM

I take my Welsh Corgi, Frodo, for a walk around Somerville, Massachusetts.

------

2 Twentysomethings:

She: Oh, look. A Welsh Corki!
He: Yeah, huh, cute.

------

2 Women, Mid-Sixties:

Woman 1: Oh, how cute. A Welsh Corki.
Woman 2: Not 'Corki', 'Corgi'. You're thinking of that retahted kid on that TV show.
Woman 1: Oh yeah. 'CorGEE'. (Laughs) I said 'Corki'. Isn't that funny?
Woman 2: Yeah, you're funny.

------

2 Women, Late Thirties:

Woman 1: How adorable.
Woman 2: What a cutie.
Woman 1: You know he looks just like that dog from 'Frasier'.
Woman 2: No he doesn't, you idiot.
Woman 1: No, I guess not.
Woman 2: That's a Jack Russell Terrier. They look nothing alike.
Woman 1: No, I guess they don't.

------

A Man and Wife, 3 kids:

Man: Ooh, a Welsh Corbi.
Wife: How cute. Let the kids see.
(Frodo growls at kids.)
Man: Moving right along...

------

2 Teenagers:

Kid 1: Hey, man, what's in the baggie?
Me: Here, it's yours.
Kid 1: No way, man.
Kid 2: What happened to your dog's legs?
Kid 1: Where's the rest of his legs?
Me: I sold them at the meat market. Times are rough.
Kid 1: Aw, man.
(I walk on.)
Kid 2: Did you see that dog's legs?
Kid 1: Yeah.

-------

Older woman down the street:

(She watches Frodo pee.)
Woman: Sure does take his time, doesn't he?
Me: Yup.
Woman: Doesn't he know it's cold out?
Me: Probably.
Woman: Looks like he's gonna fall over.
Me: Yeah.

-------

Frodo goes up to man in his driveway who looks and sounds like James Gandolfini from 'The Sopranos'. Frodo stands right under his butt and barks. Man jumps.

Man: Whoa! What's this? (He turns.) You barking at me, you little sh!t?! Trying to get my attention, you short fu ck? Come here. (Man pets dog as I crap my jeans.) Man, this is a cute dog. I love dogs. You're a little cutie, ain't ya. Ain't ya?
(Frodo wags his butt happily.)

I love Corgis! Is yours a Pembroke or Cardigan?

Pembroke. Red and white. He's got a white stripe between his eyes. His middle name is Gwynllain (not sure of the spelling) which means "white strip" in Welsh.

Lol! I especially love the Soprano's guy- very East Coast.

He's such a nice guy. We see him all the time. He's just very loud and swears a lot.

You know, I walk dogs for a living and I NEVER have that kind of fun!

Heh, if I'd walked past you, you'd probably overhear an even sillier reaction

All this happened on different walks between Sept and December. People are really talkative here.

And I'm sure you could guarantee me that you wouldn't call him a Welsh Corbi. I mean, what's that all about? lol!

He's so cute! People often comment on the shortness of my basset hound's legs. And they often think they're beagles.
