Thank you soo much. That is so thoughtful. I will be putting new pictures of the pups on today. They are 6 weeks old on Friday. What a joy!!! They go to new homes at 8 weeks.
Thanks again,
Jennifer
I lived in Rockledge since 02' and recently moved to Melbourne this year. It's a small world. That's a good idea. I have been on the internet for hours looking for a breeder who has the corgi I am looking for. Thank you.
Finally got a call back--he's at the Vet's boarding facility cause they didn't have enough room at the shelter. I'm not giving up on rescues, just giving up on them. I know there are others around so I'll be making calls once Milo is taken care of.
Hey Sam,
There are 2 active threads about grooming/shaving right now, each containing good info that might have been profitably cross-posted. Another FAQ topic?
It occurs to me that there's a lot of info on this site that is buried in the sheer mass of verbiage and could be usefully collected into a FAQ or digest.
One thing the net really makes you appreciate: editors.
Hi Sam, I was wondering how to make another photo album on my page? I made a puppy days photo album where all my pictures popped up and then I got to choose the photos I wanted in the album, but the pictures dont pop up so that I can make another album! Thanks for your help. Natalie
Remarkably well, she's very energetic despite what happened. I have to keep her crated otherwise she will do everything she isn't supposed to do. Collar isn't really needed as of yet, though I expect it may be needed once the stitches start to pull a bit.
Ok! I see that if I hover over the View tab it will give me the option to view photos, videos etc. Now that I know it's there it's very easy to use. Thanks for your help. :)
One thing I really don't get is the Reviews option. I think it just takes up space on my page and would prefer if it weren't there. I went to view reviews and tried to request a review but it was going really slow and when it couldn't find what I was looking for it gave me the option to add it but when I clicked add nothing would happen. Tried it several times and I just don't get it. Maybe it's just me. :)
Hi Alice, the review section should be optional on your page, I did not see it on your page. When you request a review, it will be put into the database, it will not show anything until someone write a review for it. It is normal. It is currently still in the beta so it might appear to be a little slow for now.
Thank you for the information. It's good to have a tenitive time frame of when Zoey's fur should all grow back. I love your slide show pictures. They look like they are having so much fun!
Hi Sam, I noticed on Saturday afternoon, my pictures on the blog Vest Harness are not showing up, and I have not deleted them. I also noticed that a picture on my comment page isnt showing up either. I was just wondering if you knew if there were technical problems making the pictures disappear?
okay, everything is working fine now. I noticed earlier today (Saturday early afternoon) the ning sites were taking a short break, so maybe it had something to do with that? Well anyways, it is working now, yay. : )
Sam,
Sorry it took a while to get back to you but things have been crazy lately. We wanted to thank you for taking a look at Monty!'s new video. Hard to believe he's 10.5! Well, as always, our shout out is to you for having such a cool "Corgi Community" to be a part of!
Hi Sam,
We are in florida and were so lucky to be able to attened the corgi picnic in Palm Bay ,FL 2008. We have not heard any news do you know is there going to be a picnic this year . Sure hope so Jenny - West Palm Beach, FL
Sam, how do you sign up for the birthday thing on the front page? Guinness' b'day is August 5, and I want him to be posted up. Reply on my page please.
Thanks!
Hannah
Sorry, I have another question. On my profile, it says your city and state. I don't really want to have my city posted, just my state. I'm not having any problems, but I just want to know how to change it because it won't let me. Please help!
-Hannah
You have some very cute pictures. My corgi haes the camera, so it's tough to get good shots. Usually I can only get them when he's focused on scheming something! He's a sneaky little guy!
Guinness' birthday is tomorrow and I wanted him to be on the front page in "Birthdays Today" In settings, should I change my birthday to Guinness' birthday so he'll be up there? Please comment on my page!
Hi Sam, Is it cost prohibitive to do a small size calendar as well as the regular size? I use both and would love Mycorgi ones. I don't know if I am the only one though. Good luck picking photos! I love viewing the ones everyone posts and would have trouble picking a hundred favorites much less twelve.
Hey Sam,
On both of my groups that I made, there are pictures that are really stretched out and long, like the picture on your page from Zach and Lisa. Why does this happen? Please try to reply on my page. Thanks!
Hi Sam, sorry for the wrong posting area, couldn't figure it out. Will try to do better. Your pixs are wonderful. Wish I had the nerve to get another Corgi! Best of luck to yours! Mary

I went to check the Photos catagory today just as I do every day and realized the tab is gone. Was that intentional?
