Seems So Long Ago

When we finally got over the heartbreak of losing old Bob the Actual Corgi, we started to talk about getting another one. The place where got Bob, the NJ branch of the PWC rescue, had closed it's doors due to lack of foster parents, and the two NJ breeders we contacted never responded. Our daughter had been studying other breeders online for a while and came forward with not only a breeder but a specific dog.

We had our doubts about going this route but the people at Immer Essen were very patient with all of our questions and dithering around. They gave us names of several very satisfied customers that we could talk freely with and ask questions to our hearts content. These people were all very friendly and forthcoming. One of them became an online pal, frequent commenter and now she's opened her own blog.

I should warn you though before you visit that you are very likely to come away with a hankering for one or two corgis of your own.

Wasn't "Immer Essen" the name of the ship in "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid"? Or was that "Emmer Essen". Is there a difference?

Dogliness and I have recently made the acquaintance of a Corgi down the way here. A very friendly thick-Southern-accented woman usually comes bounding out her front door with this Corgi when she sees us passing by on a walk. Dogliness is only too happy to sniff the Corgi's butt, and vice versa, though the two have yet to really bond. Still, it says a lot about the Corgi personality that one is willing to run to a tall brown dog's butt and breathe in deeply with joyful abandon.

my understanding from the folks at the farm is yes, they named it for the movie. Immer Essen is German for "always eating" and if you go to their website and see the number of animals they have - cats,dogs,ponies, chickens - you'll understand the humor with which they named their farm.
