Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	It is for me, and everyone we see while out and about.
Why do you want a Pembroke?	My girl Shelby was the best companion dog that I have ever had. Adorable, attentive, intuitive, extremely good natured. Smart as a whip. Albiet, kinda stubborn. Oh and did I say "The absolute cutest dogs in the world"!
Activities planned with Pembroke:	Owning a floor covering store requires me to cover the showroom from time to time. It is a real ice breaker for customers that are dog lovers. I also drive Semi trucks part time. Shelby went with me on almost all of my local within Michigan trips. She loved it, and everyone she met always asked for her. An absolute people magnet. Summer time swimming, hiking, loafing, working. Outside a lot. Right now its about 3 degrees.
Aware that Pembrokes are busy, noisy dogs?	Yes
Money for basic care?	Yes
Money for unforeseen medical expenses?	Yes
Willing to house train?	Yes Willing to do formal training? Yes
Do you have a veterinarian?	Yes
Vet contact info:
Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	Depends on the mistake? If I witness the mistake it could require scooping the dog up and heading outside, trying not to get to excited. That includes me. lol If I don't witness the mistake more than likely the dog would have no idea why I would be upset. Unless it a repeated issue. Then shame on me, I think.
Discipline:	Gentle coaxing, reassuring voices and regular commands. Consistency is best, works with kids too.
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	Absolutely with me when ever possible. Except in extreme hot or cold. I have broken a window in the mall parking lot to save , or at least cool of a dog. I called the police, waited a few minutes, and took action. No ticket or charges. Frankly, I would definitely do it again.

House dog or outside dog?	House dog
People at home during the day?	My 86 year old Mother whom is being placed in a care facility when one becomes available. Lewy Body Dementia. It's a tough one. My dog would be with me under most circumstances.
Where would dog eat?	I have a nice slightly elevated eating station. Perfect height for a Corgi.
Where would dog sleep:	With Me, certainly. lol
Play & exercise:	During the summer We'd spend time at Lake Michigan and other lakes and walking parks in the area. There's lot of that here. Biking in a big basket too. Lots of activities. My Shelby wasn't fat. Darn cancer got her. 10 years old. Oh my.
