    Hubby's co-worker sent him this link "90 Corgis in costume". Ziggy is #48 (Napoleon Bone-apart) & Pudge is #8.

    Love seeing our boys representing on the list!
  • Lady Bug (Michelle)

    Jan - you are so welcome! Thank you for bringing treat bags, the awesome photographer & precious Ian!

    Jessica (Johann's mom) made the Corgi cookies. Thank you Jessica!

    My friend Buffy "the impartial judge" brought the water.
  • Sarah C.

    You know what's bizarre? I can totally recognize my dogs in that picture collection, just from their butts.
  • Brian & Spencer

    Back Home, with the heat on.  Can't wait to see all the pictures from this weekend!
  • DeeDea & Pudge

    Daisy and her banana was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I love corgi people and their awesome sense of humor! I posted a few photos. I took a ton of pictures but also took a ton of poopy pictures. Anyone know when we will get the video of the awesome herding? and in what format??

    Here's some of the pictures I took:

    I spoke with them late yesterday, they will mail you a DVD of only your dog doing the herding trial.  Didn't have a direct answer on when.
  • Lady Bug (Michelle)

    I focused on the Houston Herding Corgis at the Buda event.  Congrats on your certificates!  I took a ton of photos and you guys are welcome to them, although I'm sure the professionals got way better shots with their awesome zoom lenses!  We enjoyed cheering on our friends in the costume contest, congrats to the winners.  So nice to spend the day in the shade with our Corgi friends.

    Anyway, be prepared for tons of herding action shots of Spencer, Daisy & Pudge!!!

    AWESOME action shots, Michelle! I love these!!!
  • Kara with Dasiy & Scout

    I love, love, love all the pictures! Thank you all for sharing! In all the excitement and fun I didn't take too many. We had such a good time getting to visit with everyone all day Saturday. I know ALL corgis are adorable and special but ours are such little characters! Daisy is still pooped out!
  • Brian & Spencer

    Spencer pretty much slept all the way home, thankfully.  Normally by the time we get home from the dog park he is wanting to play again.  On the way to San Marcos, Friday night, he was bouncing around and trying to get me to pet him for the entire 3 hour trip.  He was up and at 'em in the morning though.
  • Lady Bug (Michelle)

    I'm so glad everyone had a good time & wasn't disappointed with "Corgipolooza"!
    Brian- you might have found a way to actually wear out the energizer bunny.

    Kara- you are so sweet for the gift! We really appreciate it & the awesome blanket & socks have already been used!

    Dee- thanks for the compliment, I'm so glad I was able to get some decent action shots for you. I think your boo was sooo amazed at Pudge's natural abilities he forgot he was supposed to take pics!
  • Di-An Laperouse

    I didn't get a chance to meet you all personally, but I definitely recognize the dogs, esp the ones in costumes, and we were definitely all around each other!  My Millie was the non-herding pup that just wanted to FRAP in the pin and play with the humans.  Nonetheless, it was such a beautiful day to share with other Corgi lovers!
  • DeeDea & Pudge

    Millie totally made my whole day! She FRAP'd around the ring like she owned the place. She was hilarious! All hail Millie!
  • JanRich

    Great pictures!  It's obvious that the corgis are like "Sheeeeep!!!" And I lve the William and Kate photo op!  Adorable!
  • Brian & Spencer

  • DeeDea & Pudge

    To those who got a video of the herding at the Buda Corgipalooza:

    I asked if they could just mail me the raw video file. The organizers responded and said they would contact the videographer to let them know. I really didn't want any of the cheesey video with cheesier music! I just want PURE RAWR HERDING PUDGE. ;) 

  • KyraMoonUnique

    are there photographers or portrait studios on here or in Houston that could take a portrait of me my husband and our corgi for about 50 bucks? We only need one good pic to give to family for the holidays.

     

  • Jessica & Johann

    Kyra:
    a good friend of mine would do it, possibly for less than $50 if you just want one pic. he has done freelance for years but got a professional job recently. His name is jack, his email is sirkugelschreiber@gmail.com. Tell him jessica bauman referred you. Good luck :)
  • JanRich

    Would anyone be up for a meetup Saturday (19th)?

     

  • kabob + roxanne

    @Kyra: I do photography but I am not a professional (so I won't charge much) but I am flexible and I am really good with photoshop as well (I can make creative borders etc).

  • Kara with Dasiy & Scout

    I really want to meet up but will be gone this weekend. Don't tell my relatives but I would really rather spend Thanksgiving weekend with corgis (except for my darling daughter and wonderful husband)! :)

  • Lady Bug (Michelle)

    Meetup this weekend sounds good! Where Jan?
  • JanRich

    Ummm the Bay Area Blvd park? 

     

  • JanRich

    Saturday morning. It's a rare Saturday I have off.

     

  • Erin Highfill

    Decker and I would love to meet up! Bay Area would be great for us since we're coming from Galveston.
  • Hector

    this Saturday is great or me. I will plan to be there in bay area. 

  • JanRich

    How about 9am?  We'll be there!

  • Erin Highfill

    I am so sad! I don't know if Decker and I are ever going to be able to make a meet up. I'm in medical school down at UTMB and there always seems to be something that comes up to keep us from making it. I think it might happen again tomorrow! We area going to try and come, but it's daughtful right now. I'm so sorry to (maybe) miss yet another month!!
  • JanRich

    Sorry we missed you Erin! 

  • Curtis B

    Howdy, all.  I'm a North Texas Corgi owner but I found a female red/white that is closer to your area than mine, so I'm posting this here.  I hope I'm not stepping on any toes with this.

    There is a very nice red/white female Pemmi with a rescue in Sulphur, LA.  She's 1 year old but needs some TLC due to abuse she suffered when younger.  She was kept in an outdoor run with a larger dog that kept stealing her food.  Her foster says that she's food aggressive as a result.  She's gets along well with dogs in general but will be very possessive if other dogs approach her person.  She is otherwise very sweet and likes to be a lap dog.  

     

    If you know someone who wants a great Corgi, has no kids or other dogs, and is willing to work with this one-year old on overcoming her issues, let me know and I will send the contact info.

  • Curtis B

    The same rescue in Sulphur also has a red/white 1y.o. male that gets along well with other dogs and does not have any personal issues.

  • Lady Bug (Michelle)

    Curtis, thanks for putting out the word! Our rescue was the best Christmas present we ever received, I hope someone can open their home to these babies! You might also post on the Corgis in Texas group. There are quite a few members in that group.
  • Lady Bug (Michelle)

    We are officially over 100 members! In honor of this big occasion and the upcoming holiday I have a variety of small dog & people door prizes that I would love to give away. Is anyone up for a meetup next Saturday? Hopefully we can get in one more meetup before 2012!
  • Kara with Dasiy & Scout

    I can't make next Saturday because Daisy and I will be in another agility trial. If any of you would like to come down and watch let me know. There is a large grassy area that we park in and the dogs can play but should stay on leash. The trails are from 8 AM until about 4:00 PM. It has been a lot of fun for us and I am hopelessly addicted! I really want to meet up with you guys and if anyone is up for the 17th or 18th we can make it. Christmas won't be the same without another dose of corgi love!!!

  • Kara with Dasiy & Scout

    Here is a link to the directions of where we "play": http://www.dogsneedajob.com/fac_directions.htm

  • Kathy Sanouvong

    Corgi meet next saturday would be great!

  • Lady Bug (Michelle)

    Guys, I am so sorry...I booked an event for next weekend.  It's a big account or I wouldn't have done it :(

    The raffle prizes will have to wait until 2012, we'll definitely meet up in January so put in your requests on dates now!

  • DeeDea & Pudge

    Alright Houston corgi fans, it's been TOO LONG since we've seen each others low riders. Pudge misses his FRAPing buddies. Anyone want to do a meet up this month? And where? 

  • Kara with Dasiy & Scout

    Daisy is ready to play too! We have another agility trial this weekend in Santa Fe. We were thinking about going on a corgi camp-out over the weekend of the 14th but are flexible!

  • JanRich

    We probably can't come this month because it is rare that I get a Saturday off, but I am going to go ahead and put my vote in for Sat, Feb. 18th b/c I'm pretty sure I can make it!  lol

  • Jenny & Bentley

    Bentley and I are free the 21st and are down for the Bill Archer park! We haven't seen everyone in such a long time!
  • Kathryn Johnson

    I've never been to a corgi meetup but would love to attend one. If you guys decide to meet up I would love to join!

  • Kathy Sanouvong

    Isaac and i are free any saturday! 

  • Kara with Dasiy & Scout

    The 21st is good for us!

  • Kara with Dasiy & Scout

    Daisy got a new brother!!! We are going to call him Scout and already love him to pieces!

  • JanRich

    Congrats!  He's so cute!  You can't have just one corgi!

  • Ann and Izzy

    Kara, How cute!! Congratulations! 

  • Sara, Angus and Potatoes

    Congrats Daisy on your new little brother, you'll have to show him how to bark and chase squires!

  • Lady Bug (Michelle)

    The 21st at Bill Archer works for us! Any votes on time? I'll send a group message tomorrow to try and increase the Corgi numbers!

    Congrats Kara!!! Squeal... A new puppy, I know you guys are loving it!
  • Curtis B

    Daisy: "Stick with me kid.  With your looks and my experience, we will own *all* the NOMS!!"
