Introducing the great Corgis "Rose and Skye!!

Well, first of all, we are not real sisters--we live in the same family, but were born to different mothers. This blog will be in both of our voices, so sometimes
Skye will talk and other times it will be me, Rose.

First my story when I became a Roper. My mom and dad were traveling in western Missouri on a business trip, and had to stop for some gas. We stopped at a local place, daddy pumped the gas and when he came back to the car he said, "the lady that owns this gas station has a whole litter of Corgi pups and the mother and father as well, and they are all in that red truck, he said pointing. Well, mom said oh my goodness we have to go at least look at them. So they did, and as Mom was approaching the truck she called out to the lady, "are any of them still for sale, and how much? She said, we have just two left a boy and a girl, and we are asking $100.00.

We said we wanted a female, and instantly I was in mommie's arms! She didn't relinquish me until we got home to our house. The doggie mother (the real person) gave us a baby blanket that she had in the basket with all the other babies, so that I could not be scared going to a new home, as I could smell my Mom and my brothers and sisters, and probably even my Daddy.

We drove home and I just snuggled and snuggled in my Mom's lap and she was so nice, and smelled so good. By the way it was May 30th, 2007, and I was just 7 weeks old. I went from my real doggie mom to the Roper family, so I never really have known any other owners. But, things were different, quite different for Skye.


Hi, hi, hi, I am Skye Roper. I am two years old on December 21,2009 so right now Rose and I are the same aqe! Ha, that is funny. Here's my story:

I was born....well we don't actually know where, but it was around December 21, so Mom and Dad picked that as my official birthday. I have at least one brother, his name is Jones, and oh, by the way, with my first owners, I was named Phoebe, and sometimes Rose teases me about it, "Phoebe, PHOEBE',and I say, well how about you, SweetPea? That was Rose's litter name, but she doesn't like it. Mommie and Daddy thought about our names for a long time, it was kind of hard to figure it out. They first named Rose Rosie, but have all sorts of funny nicknames for both of us--like Rosarita Beach, and Skye Blue, Skye Bird, Skye-Skye. Skye Frederick Roper, noooo, that's not true, I was just kidding you--hee, hee.

So anyway, Jones and I got adopted out of our litter to a family with two little children, however, we tended to herd those babies, and the parents decided we were too rough. So, sadly, we were sent to a shelter and my picture was posted on PetFinders.com. Ok, gotta go have Christmas eve dinner so I will continue this later. See ya, Skye Roper
