    Is the meet up time 7:30 on Saturday?  I'm trying to get someone else to work for me but so far no luck.  We will be there as soon as we can get there- hopefully by 8:30!
  • Lady Bug (Michelle)

    Sorry guys, I'm late posting the event...that 400 cupcake wedding this past weekend erased my brain :)

     

    Here it is & I'll send it out to all members as well.  Thanks for the reminder guys!

    Well Sadie's momma is a dummy... We went to the Boneyard tonight for the meetup... my husband was like "I figured at least a couple corgi's would be here" then I got on my phone and realized it was tomorrow.... fail. It was a neat place though, but don't think we will make the drive from Pearland 2 days in a row. Sorry we missed everybody, hopefully we can make the October one!
  • Sara, Angus and Potatoes

    Oh no!, Well, at least you got a chance to scout it out for the rest of us. Sorry to miss Sadie, but I hope you guys at least enjoyed a beer with the pups, it was a beautiful day today!
  • Lady Bug (Michelle)

    Oh Sarah, sorry we'll miss you!  At least next month is the Halloween meetup with costume contest & prizes - it's always a good one :)
  • Brian & Spencer

    Good Practice for the Buda Costume Contest too !
  • Vickie Hilliard

    Just saw the notice about the meeting tonight at the Boneyard.  Would love to come but am sick at the moment.  Hope it becomes a monthly thing !

  • DeeDea & Pudge

    should be fun tonight! looks like there will be $4 mimosas and sangrias + pho from phamily bites (vietnamese food truck). can't wait :)
  • Sara, Angus and Potatoes

    Angus and potatoes can't make it, we got invited to a friend's place for their welcome home party. They went to china, and are back again, we just can't miss it, but we will be there in october, or if anyone wants to meet up
  • Lady Bug (Michelle)

    Good point Brian - we always do the Houston Halloween meetup the weekend before the Buda Corgi Celebration because we attend every year :)

    Vickie - Monthly meetups have become pretty regular, we're trying to keep them that way!

    DeeDea - you are speaking my language with the Sangrias!!! Hubby will be happy with the food truck & beer.

    Sara - we'll see you next month!

  • Kara with Dasiy & Scout

    I am not going to make it tonight and will miss all the corgi fun. :(
  • DeeDea & Pudge

    Had a great time last night! The only thing better than corgis is corgis AND beer!
  • NOBU, MUFFIN, ROBYN, & MILES

    We will be there!

    Miles, Robyn & of course NOBU!

    The howl - o - ween event that is. Lol
  • Vickie Hilliard

    Haven't had a chance to go there yet, but the Bill Archer Dog Park looks really neat.

    Proposed date and time for Halloween party work for Pippin & I.

    The link above is to a dog park that a good friend of mine goes to everyday.  It's close to 59S at hwy 6.

  • Jessica & Johann

    Just booked our room in Buda for corgi celebration! Now we just need to decide what Johann wants to dress up as :o) who else is planning on going to Buda?
  • Kara with Dasiy & Scout

    We definitely plan to go to Corgi Celebration! Which hotel will you be at? I need to reserve my room this week too. I can't wait for the corgi overload!! :)
  • Lady Bug (Michelle)

    We will be there, it's our annual Corgi extravaganza! We stay at the comfort suites in Buda. If you call & book and say you're withe the Corgi celebration you get a discount.
  • Jessica & Johann

    We also booked under the special rate at Comfort Suites- I think it was $89 for a room with a King bed; not sure what the regular rate is. Anyways, glad to hear y'all are going too! 26 days! :P
  • Lady Bug (Michelle)

    I need a tie breaker for location - between Bill Archer & Sugar Land for the Howl-o-ween meet up:

  • Vickie Hilliard

    Sugarland park doesn't allow food, so that puts it out of the running.
  • DeeDea & Pudge

    My vote is for Bill!!
  • Jenny & Bentley

    Bentley and I always go for Bill Archer :)
  • DeeDea & Pudge

    I think we are going to stay in the city of Austin more (there are other dog friendly hotels). Will anyone be staying the weekend?
  • Lady Bug (Michelle)

    CNN blog stating "Corgis are the new cats of Internet" with a mention of OCD!!!

  • JanRich

    I saw that on CNN too!  Yay for the corgis!
  • JanRich

    I will bring pumpkin corgi snacks for the pups to Howl-o-ween!
  • Lady Bug (Michelle)

    Thanks Jan - they were a huuuuge hit last time!

  • Kara with Dasiy & Scout

    We finally booked our room for Buda but we are staying at Motel 6 down the road. We will spend the extra money at the event. :) Daisy competed in her first agility competition this weekend and she did GREAT! You would not have believed how well behaved she was around all the other dogs. As soon as I get some pictures I will share them. We can't wait for our Howl-O-Ween meetup and Corgi Celebration!!
  • Di-An Laperouse

    Sorry we've been a little MIA from Corgi.com, but we plan on being in Buda too!  Can't wait!
  • Hector

    To all,

    I have been MIA for the past couple of months, so I need catching up. When and where is the next corgi meet up in Houston (I missed the patio bar thingy) and also is there a Halloween special event coming up? Please fill me because I don't want to miss the next corgi events. Thanks all.

  • Hector

  • DeeDea & Pudge

    Hector,

    It appears that we are having a howl-o-weenie meet up at Bill Archer on 10/22 at 10:30. Michelle says there will be cupcakes. I might smuggle in some mimosas. Nothing says breakfast like cupcakes, mimosas and corgis. There will be costumes. There will be corgis. And many many derpy moments.

  • Lady Bug (Michelle)

    I've got the prize bags ready!  There will be 1st, 2nd, & 3rd place bags and a grab bag for a few other misc. awards.  Please head over to the event link & RSVP if you're planning to attend so I can plan a cupcake count :)  Also I'm sure all the other folks planning to bring goodies would love to know who's planning to come out.
  • JanRich

    Do you guys think it's okay if we bring our 10 month old? (Human, not corgi.)  I don't see anything in the rules about certain ages for children.  I have to be in Hempstead at 2pm and see no reason to drive an hour back to Baytown to get him and then over an hour back the same direction.  We would just have to bring two cars so my husband can go home with the dogs.  What do you think?
  • JanRich

    I also don't see a rule about strollers.

     

  • Jessica & Johann

    Hey JanRich,

    I don't remember seeing any rules about it last time we were there about children and/or strollers, I guess if they're supervised the whole time it should be good!

  • Jenny & Bentley

    Bentley and I have bad news- an unexpected work trip came up and we cannot make it to the Halloween meet-up :( Bentley is totally bummed...he has the cutest Batman costume. We will miss ya'll- hopefully we will see everyone at the next event

    JanRich- I frequent this dog park and I see people quite often with young children and strollers there and it doesn't seem to be an issue at all. I say bring'em along! :)

  • Lady Bug (Michelle)

    Jan, I don't think it's a problem at all. I've seen strollers & kiddos there before. We would love to meet your little one! Just be prepared for some of the pups being curious about the little person, maybe a little sniffing & licking :)
  • Lady Bug (Michelle)

    Jenny, so sorry we'll miss you guys! At least post pics of Bently in costume!!!
  • Kathy Sanouvong

    Isaac and I aso have bad news.. I have to go to be an escort at a friend's little girls 13th birthday tomorrow all day.. starting at 10 am.. we won't make it, have fun ya'll!
  • JanRich

    Thanks for the info about kids! 

    And we'll miss those who can't make it. See you next time!

  • DeeDea & Pudge

    SO MANY CORGIS! That was AWESOME!
  • JanRich

    We have pictures up on facebook.  Not sure if you have to friend me (Jan Richardson, Baytown, TX) to see them.  Sorry if we missed anybody!  We had a blast!

    Michelle - Thank you so much for the doggie prizes and cupcakes!

    And thank you to whoever brought the awesome corgi cookies and water!
