Raising a Welsh Corgi has been a handful for me and my husband, after all, we are both in our 50s.
It was like having a four-legged toddler.
Frankie Blue, named after Frank Sinatra, was a surprise Christmas gift from my husband.
One night before bed, Nick mentioned that we were getting up early to take a drive.
He wouldn’t tell me why or where so, as usual, before these surprise trips, I checked the trunk of the Camaro for a shovel, rope, and duct tape, just kidding.
We start our mystery road trip heading east and eventually cross over into Illinois.
The car ride was quiet with anticipation.
Finally, after a two-hour drive, we enter Centralia, a small southern Illinois town.
We pulled into the driveway and out came five corgi pups running and playing, except for one.
Frankie was shy and standoffish, so I immediately ran up to him and said you’re coming home with me.
I thought he would be a perfect fit with his lack of energy, and boy was I wrong.
You see, I overslept the day God was passing out energy.
Frankie Blue has his first birthday on October 23.
Yes, It’s been a wild and frustrating ride, but I wouldn’t trade him for any other puppy in the whole world.
