Help with parsing 6a, please.
Grunt by my pet. C*R*I
I have corgi but, apart from the pet, can’t figure out why.

Thanks. They always seem obvious after someone's explained them!
I hadn't separated the "my" from the "pet."

Allie, glad I could help. I thought it was quite a fun clue, so tried to come up with a hint - sentences later, I opted to just give the answer!

27d As it swings, shut gate for drunk (2,3,3).

Looks like ‘to and fro’, I can see that for drunk = fro, but not the shut gate.
