Chopper lives in Walton, Kentucky with his Mom Leah, Dad Jeff, hoo-man siblings Jordan, Justin, Kelsey, Cole and Jon, canine siblings Rudy and Sally, and resident felines Aphrodite, Trouble Elizabeth and Buckeye.
“He is fiercely loyal, ” writes Leah “and loves to herd us all — people and animals both! Chopper has a large personality.”
“His birthday is Christmas Day, which may explain why his favorite song is “Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer”, which he barks or howls from start to finish!”
“Chopper loves to “sing” and when he’s not caroling, his eclectic repertoire ranges from Taylor Swift to Bon Jovi, Journey to Lady Antebellum, and Katy Perry.”
“Chopper came to live with our family right after I had back surgery. He basically helped rehab his Mom, staying with me through everything. He remains my shadow.”
“Chopper wakes every morning to do his morning laps around the house with Rudy and Sally, making sure to stop off in the family garden to see if there are any ripe tomatoes. This was his favorite Summer pastime, hanging out in the garden. He hasn’t yet figured out that Fall is in full swing, and Winter close on its heels!”
“One of his funny quirks is lying with his front and back paws straight out, body completely flat. When you say his name he looks up, without moving his body and ‘smirks’ where the top part of his mouth curls up.
When Chopper naps, he lies on his back with his paws stuck straight up in the air, tongue stuck out!”
Yep, I’m ALL Corgi!

Chopper, you're a sweetie!! Sounds like you are having a great time!!
I'm SO proud of my Chopper! Thank you Laurie for making my baby the Corgi of the Day!
I can tell by reading your inspirational & moving blog posts that you love your PUPPIES with all your heart! Thank you for sharing this wonderful post!
If you get snow, be prepared! If he's a snow lover, it will be difficult to get him back in the house! Very cute boy.
I agree with Sophie's mom. I have to call my corgi in for bed time when it snows. He loves flipping it up in the air and then rolling in it.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful boy.
