I am Handsome. I am 12 years old and "King of Corgiville". When my Mom got me , I was a little pup. I was brought up and taught to think that I was ROYALTY. That is because I am! You can tell it in my every movement. I guess Mom just forgot to add King in front of my name of Handsome. But, that is ok. Everyone who sees me , knows it. See for yourself. Her love for me shows in the fact that she named me after her, "Debbie's Handsome Little Man." But, all my friends just call me, Handsome. I am special too in the fact that a friend of my humans, Dara Forbes, who bought a daughter of mine, commissioned an artist to do a portrait of me for my humans birthday. The artist liked my expression so well she decided to make me into notecards to represent my breed, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi. Here is the portrait .

Here is the letter.

Also, I won the title of Pet Of the Week here at


Pets Place. A honor too, I might add.


This is me "driving a big truck." My Human Mama used to drive the BIG TRUCKS and she taught me to do this when she was inside somewhere so nobody would even THINK about getting in MY BIG TRUCK with ME in charge!!

I am a "FEATURED PET" here at PETS 2000
I WON THIS CONTEST OUT OF 30 OTHER DOGS!

Things to Teach Your Humans
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a ride.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
When it's in your best interest, practice obedience.
Let others know when they've invaded your territory.
Take naps and stretch before rising. Run, romp and play daily.
Eat with gusto and enthusiasm.
Be loyal.
Never pretend to be something you're not.
If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
On hot days, drink lots of water and lay under a shady tree.
When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout...run right back and make friends.
Bond with your pack.
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
