Apprecation Post for Xena on her 3rd Birthday!
I have met hundreds of corgis in my lifetime from going to corgi meet-ups and events. Xena is by far the most sassiest demanding little diva I have ever met. However, she was born for the studio. She loves meeting each and every one of you. She enjoys all the pets and love, scritches, cuddles, belly rubs, and adoration her fans give her. She is the most gentle creature when kids come by. She softens, leans against the gate and just accepts a rough pet, a gentle one, a tug on an ear by accident. She has never once growled or barked at a person (dogs are another story).
When it's a studio day, she knows. She runs to the door, ready for her harness, ready to meet new people, smell new things, and get to "work" being the mascot of Nerdzilly.
She has her besties. Ones that she just hops into their laps when they come to visit , ones that she whines and cries when they leave, ones she gives extra nub wags too and is just so excited to see every week. You know who you all are.
Almost three years of having her come with me nearly every week, she's a staple of Nerdzilly and a bright light to everyone she meets.
She's met thousands of you by now, and she loves each one of you with her tail nub wagging behind the gate and maybe a whine or two if you ignore her. We have heard so many people say they were having a rough day, recently lost a dog, or are on vacation away from their own babies and how Xena brightens their day. We've had kids beg their parents to come see her on a random Saturday, and older folks have fond memories of their own corgis long gone.
Today we celebrate 3 years of Xena, and to some she may just be "someone's dog" but to us, to her friends and her fans, she's so much more than that. She's the reason the dice aren't the main attraction. ;)
So, to my sassy little diva, Happy 3rd Birthday! We love you and adore you! If you're ever at Lowe Mill, swing by #119 and say hello!
