We were not ready for this day!
Kelso the corgi you came to us as a senior and you ran our lives for almost 5 years. Our lives will not be the same without you. Thank you for the memories, adventures, laughs, love, and all the lives you touched along the way.
Christmas will be strange without you. The way you used to bite us when we sang Happy Holidays. We never found out why you hated the word happy or bit us for saying it. It was shocking but caused us so many laughs. We used to call Kelso the happy police. She was a complicated old soul. We would have to put her outside or go far away when we wanted to sing Happy songs. The first time we sang Happy Birthday before we knew that you hated the word happy and that you would bite us was shocking. I captured this moment on video and we will laugh at it forever! My entire family whispered or spelled happy which you eventually caught onto. We were warned about your uniqueness. Kelso was a tiny girl but she had a giant personality. You girl kept us in line. We always joked that we lived with you and not that you lived with us. You wore the Queen name tag because you knew you were in charge. Kelso was the Queen of our lives. Our house seems far too quiet and we are lost without you. Doggos never live long enough but we are grateful for all the laughs and memories she shared with our family.
For the last 12—almost 13 years, I have had a corgi. It started with my heart dog Charleston, and the day he passed away, Dan found Kelsey online by accident, and the story was too wild. She was posted on a rescue site and was the only Corgi in Canada online, oddly within an hour’s drive. I was not ready to have another dog but Dan wanted to meet this sweet girl, he was drawn to her. The lady fostering her said she was not good with other dogs, she bites and was not tested with kids or cats. She said many other people had come to meet her but she did not take to them and she believed that dogs picked their owners. We agreed to just meet her and well from the moment she met Dan she sat on him and would not move. We later found out that her previous owner was an old man named Dan. Now she was going to have a young man Dan. Dan was so sweet to his dog, it was the perfect bond. She loved him and would only listen to him. On her last night when he pat her she lit up. I held her paw and thanked her for being such a sweet girl. I hope we gave her the retirement years of her dreams! We promised to rescue her and give her the best remaining years we could. I think Dan accomplished that. We called her Kelso instead of the name Kelsey she came with, Kelso seemed to fit her more. We gave her all the love and she is forever here watching over us. Forever the Queen of our hearts. We loved you so much sweet girl rest easy.
