Profile Information:

Hometown:: Maryville, TN now, but grew up in Somerset, KY
About Me:: I like all animals. I'm happily married to a wonderful man & we have 3 children & 4 grandsons. I like to do crafts of different kinds, like beading, woodworking, stained glass & sewing. I've worked for the same company for the last 27 years.
About My Corgi(s):: Our Corgi's are 1 male, Thumper, & 1 female, Sissy. We lost Thumper 2 years ago to bladder cancer at just 3 months before he would have turned 9 years old. We all miss him terribly still to this day. Our Sissy is still with us at the age of 10 years now. She is a sweety in her own way, but she's not our Thumper.

Hello and Welcome!

This site is a lot of fun and a wealth of information. Your corgis are beautiful. I'm sorry for the loss of Thumper. It's amazing how they become our children and we treat them as so. Makes life that much more worth living. :o)

Again, Welcome!!

Frances, welcome. I'm sorry to hear about your Thumper. It is terribly hard to lose a friend. My oldest daughter used to live in Kentucky--she started out in college there and decided she was going to be a Jockey. Arrg. Beautiful part of the country. My profile picture with Basil and Lizzie was taken in Kentucky! I lost my Basil just over a year ago. I will always miss him he stole my heart.

Thanks! We sure think he's special. We hope to find another corgi here in the next few months. I would love another tri-color but hubby wants the orange and creme.

I'll let Moses know how cute he is! Thanks!

Bailey sez thanks for the compliment. We are so sorry about your little Thumper. I know he is waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge. Little Sissy is precious too.

Thanks for visiting Bryson's page! I almost had tears looking at photos of Thumper and Sissy. We're (relatively) new dog owners (Bryson's our first dog and we had him for about a year), it's hard for us to imagine ever losing him. But I guess that's what our pets teach us, to love with abandon and be present each moment, right?

My eyes still well up in tears every time I think about him, but yes, you are right. That is part of what they teach us. Thank you for the kind words. I hope you do not know this pain for many years to come.

I am sorry about Thumper. I still miss my babies that have passed on.
No one can replace them in you heart, just help ease the loss.

Hi Frances, your pups are beautiful! Sorry to hear about Thumper, are you planning on adding another Corgi in the future to keep Sissy company?
I'm beyond thrilled about finally getting my puppy, only 3 more weeks and he'll be home. I'm going to visit him this weekend and hopefully I'll finally get some pictures, I can't wait :)
