RIP Kramer the Corgi
Kramer 8/25/2003- 8/05/2014
Kramer passed away Tuesday after a brief illness. He was born to a litter of 3 girls and 2 boys and he was adopted by his loving humans at 6 weeks of age.
Kramer loved to spend his days sleeping and scratching. His early career of chasing squirrels was cut short when he realized that Corgis have extremely short legs and a long body and he knew his dreams of being drafted by the NSL would never be realized. He became quite the foodie and spent his days watching the refrigerator, his version of the Food Network and announcing the daily arrival of the mailman.
Kramer leaves behind his soul brothers Tubby and Tailgate, along with his brother from another mother, George the cat. Kramer seemed proud of his heritage, being the only purebred in the family. The rest are either rescue mutts or the rescued cat. But he loved them all equally.
Services are pending at God’s Creatures Crematorium. His ashes will be scattered at a later date. He was a good dog. We will miss him.

A lovely dog. It must be difficult to say goodbye. Date of passing is in the future!

+1 on the "obit"...great read.
I am sorry about your loss. We have 4 critters running around and although they can be quite annoying at times, I dread the day when we lose them...getting choked up just thinking about it.

Marvelous obituary. I believe that was one lucky dog. We've recently had a pet loss, and I can just now talk about it without blubbering.
When you aren't quite so sad, check out the Rainbow Bridge:

Took me a couple of months before I could read it this time.

Condolences from "Champ" & his Humans
Our sympathies to you. We've lost two Corgis and still have our third "Champ" who brings us endless joy. Time and your other fur children will help heal the loss.
Champ wanted to send his personal regards to Kramer.

It's kind of a cruel thing...to get so attached to something that we know won't be around forever. I've always liked the temperament of Corgis and they look pretty neat too...might be our next companion.

RIP Kramer
Tailgate; know that Kramer had a happy and safe life, and that you'll see him again someday. It's a hard thing, to say good bye to a trusted friend.

thanks all for kind words and support... sure is quiet around here this morning...strange how the other dogs seem to know they've lost their friend.
Here's a pic of Kramer (baring it all) and his litter mate at about 2 weeks old and a single pic of his baby brother.. pretty damn cute as pups...

God, is there nothing cuter than puppies? He was adorable!
From another herding dog aficionado, my sincere condolences on the loss of your Corgi.
They are great, cheerful, fun, and affectionate little dogs--and I know yours must have been a stellar example of the breed.
RIP Kramer.

I'm sorry for your loss. I know how hard it can be. He was blessed to have you as a skin-parent and I hope you always have the fondest of memories of him.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Tailgate. DH and I have kitties and it is so painful when it's time to say goodbye. 3 years since we lost our last two and I still tear up when I think of them.
