Bella is ADORABLE! Ellie's ears were so big, that by the time they stood up, she was a few months old. I wish they could stay little and fuzzy forever! The only downside to having a puppy is that they grow up too fast!

Hi Bella and mom. Thanks for your comment. Support is very iimportant for me as his care can be demanding. Bella is gorgeous.
We have the opportunity to adopt another male corgi this weekend.
Roscoe is shy and not used to "strangers" but think he would enjoy a buddy after he gets used to Bazel. thanks again. Penny

Thank you! I'm excited. :D His mark is on his chest, on the right side. Maybe I'm crazy and it blends in, but from what I can see it's just a spot. Either way, talk about a cutie, eh? Hehe

Hi Chantel, Gavin, Bella and Liam. You have such cute little girl. Our dogs do look very similar, scary. The mounting was an issue with my beagle too. We got Paige first and then Sunny came home and Paige kept trying to hump her. The roles have changed in the last year. Sunny seems to be doing the humping. Their both girls, so I think it is just a dominance thing for them. My husband thinks its hilarious, which doesn’t help. Male beagles a pretty stubborn and pushy. Sunny was always really good at standing her ground. It may take Bella a while to let him know who is boss.

Hi Chantel!
I don't know if you have found an online store to ship out to where you are, but I was looking at this site today and noticed a thing to click for "International Shoppers". It made me think about you. Maybe you can check it out...

Hi Tigger and Molly say Hi! Who is the beagle? Is that Bella's brother?

Nov 20, 2008
Alia, David & Ein

I guess I just wanted something a little more challenging and that involved me on the strategic side of the business, rather than the production side. Also, at the places I was working, there was a real boy's club attitude. It's alright. I'll probably make a much better attorney than I did a web designer. :)

Petsmart is doing the Santa photo thing this year if you have one near you (which you may not in South Africa!). It was $10 ($5 went to the Humane Society) and you get a cool frame to put it in too!

Bella is beautiful...reminds me of my Fancy! Aren't corgis just the greatest? I noticed you had asked about a carrier...don't know the measurements, but when I ship puppies, I always buy a "medium" crate so that it will fit them their whole lives. I've bought them from several different places, but the cheaper one at Wal-Mart really seems to be the best.

Pam & Momo

Hi there!! Thanks for adding me and Momo as a friend =)

So the pet carrier I bought Momo is this one:
http://www.petco.com/Assets/product_images/2/2969525302C.jpg
They come in a number of different sizes and you can get it at petco, or pet club. I believe we bought the medium size. It was a bit on the pricier side ($70), and I ended up finding a very similar one at Bed Bath & Beyond for $20!! So I ended up buying two more from bed bath and keeping one in the car and one at my boyfriend's work. Comes in really handy!

Are you using this crate mostly for travel? We don't use this soft crate at home. Momo has a bigger wire crate at home because he loveeeesss to chew, so the soft crate wouldn't last haha. Anyway, good luck!
