PUMPKIN IS GORGEOUS! i JUST LOVE THE BLUE MERLE. i'VE ALWAYS HAD THE PEMBROKES-DON'T THINK I'VE ACTUALLY EVER MET A CARDI INREAL LIFE. THEY COME IN SUCH A GREAT VARIETY OF COLORS. ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE AVERAGE PEM DISPOSITION, IF SO WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES?

What a gorgeous girl! She is a beauty. She came from Greensboro? Ah, a fellow North Carolinian. :) I am looking forward to the fun of owning a corgi...or is it being owned by one? My pup is actually going to be a red and white boy, he's a pembroke. His coat was dark when he was born, but it keeps getting lighter by the week. Can't wait to get the little guy home. Three weeks to go!

Hello Christine - a fellow cardi lover, and finally another blue merle! My little Luna is a blue, and quite the little vixen - I'm sure your Pumpkin gets all the comments and all the love. Nice to see another south Floridian, as well. We also have a 5yr old male b/w, Kai. He puts up with Luna's antics, but is a great dog. How does Pumpkin handle the flight to France - that's my dog's next big adventure...

Thanks Christine - He's feeling a bit perkier - hope all is well down there in the Keys. Some day we'll get these crazy blue merle girls together...

Tape!!! What a great idea!!! Although - I have to wonder if he'd put up with it for long... at six months he's already fairly bossy :) I love your Pumpkin! What a pretty girl! Our corgis could be family - it's so great to see another corgi with the blue merle coloring... they're so beautiful and unusual. We're lucky moms!!! Thanks for totally making my day, Christine!

Casey,
If you can't get the instructions I can get them from my breeder. It's like a bridge across the tips of the ears & down each one as well. Maybe someone on My Corgi knows more. I love the blue merles, we stop traffic when we're out walking,especially on the Croisette in Cannes. Good luck with the ears.

Pumpkin is quite cute. :)

Must be fun living in Key West - I got married on a beach in Islamorada. Sure would be nice to go back for a visit...

You have a beautiful Cardigan! Just beautiful!

Regis sure is loving the country! He grew up in a 1 bedroom apartment, so now that he lives in a house up here, he is so happy! And he loves that he has a big yard to play in- he's in doggy heaven right now. And he has a nice long hall way to play fetch in on rainy days :D He's super happy! I heard that you can take dogs a lot more places there! That must be so fun! We take Regis anywhere we can, but most places aren't dog-friendly. What a lucky princess she is!

Bonjour Christine !
You live part of the year in France ?! what a surprise !
And your Cardi is beautiful !!!
Do you take Pumpkin with you to Cannes ?!

Aug 5, 2008
Christine Glossman

Bonjour Florence,
Bien sûr .. Pumpkin promenades sur le Croisette. Elle est une grande étoile. How nice to hear from a Parisian. I was beginning to think Pumpkin was the only Cardi in France. She's been in Cannes for 14 months, but doesn't speak much French (like her mom). She likes it here compared to Key West's heat & humidity. She especially likes the food!!
Your girls are adorable & they look like they're having fun. Are there a lot of Corgis in Japan?

Aug 5, 2008
Florence

Pumkin is lucky, me, I've even never been to Cannes, and all south France, because now, my parents are retired, and they live in Normandy !
My Uyanga was born in Bourgogne, but it's a long trip, and in Japan, dogs need to stay in quaranteens in Tokyo airport, so, she will may be never go back to our country, poor Uyanga...
In Japan, Pems are very common, there are a lot everywhere, but Cardis are very few, most of the people even dont know about this breed.
Pumpkin was born in Florida ? He's really beautiful !
In Uyanga's kennel in Bourgogne, there is one blue-merle Cardi like him, but Uyanga's father is a tricolor.
I'm going to look if I can find your friend, 3 Corgis......hhihi, marvelous !!!

Aug 8, 2008
Florence

Sorry but....where is "Key West" ?

Aug 8, 2008
Florence

Hi Christine !

When Uyanga came to Japan, she had to stay 2 weeks in quarantine, but I heard it changed....and don't know what changed.

I can't tell you anything about the climate in Cannes because I really don't know this part of France ! But people use to say it's warm all the year. But pearhaps colder than Florida ?! well, I gess...
If your husband is swiss, don't you stay in Switzerland when you spend some time in Europe ?

I've been to your country you know ! But very long ago, in 1978, I was 18 ! (lol)
and far from Florida: I spent a month in Iowa, and stay in "homestay" in a very nice family, living in a lovely white little house, in the middle of corn fields.

Bonjour Christine !
(I thought that Christine was a French name, and at 1st, thought you were may be French !)

For most French people, Switzerland = chocolate, mmmmmmm........

And yes I work here, but not everyday, and not all the day, I teach French language. It's just good, I also have time for the family (including of course the 2 Corgis), the garden...

Christine, if you are only "semi-retired", it's that you're working a little ?

Oh, and thank you for your mail adress ! (here too I gess we can send private messages ?)

Have a good monday ! Mine is already finished.
From Florence.

Florence

Hello Christine, I'm so sorry I diseapared for so long from MyCorgi, I was just busy with too many things, but I'm back because I missed you !
Osaka is very very far from my place: I'm in the North-Est and Osaka is in the South-West, Japan isn't a large country, but very long ! I've never been to Osaka, it's the 2nd biggest city in Japan after Tokyo the capital.

Oh, I saw your e-mail and will reply you by the same way, but the answer is YES !!! same breeder !!!
I'll write to her for you, if you want to, I think it would be better ! ;0))

Have a good day or night !!!
From your friends Florence, Nana, and Uyanga.

Hi, yes, my Corgi Jerry is a Pembroke. Our breeder is in Italy. His name is Fasan.So Jerry is a little Italian.... We tried to find a Corgi in Germany, but here was no chance. But it is nice to meet some Corgi Friends here!!

Christine,
I have a granddog Niko that is related to Pumpkin. They really do resemble one another. What a nice addition to our family.

I hope so. Not that we wouldn't love him with floppy ears but their big foxy ears are my favorite feature. We're going to retape him again tonight and see if we can keep it on for more than a day. The ears are showing lift but they are folding on the outer edge so they stick out sideways and I'm worried that if we don't tape them they may form with that fold in them permanently. I felt bad when I took took the tape off too b/c there was quite a bit of fur stuck to it. He didn't seem to notice though so it must not have hurt. How long did you have to tape for before Pumpkin's ears stood on their own?

Jan 3, 2009
Alice

Have you seen the new Blue Crew group? You should join. Hope to see you there. :)

Jan 26, 2009
Alice

They are up for the most part. The inner edge toward the tip of each if isn't quite secure and wants to fold inward which makes his ears look like the are pointy. We only taped them a couple times then stopped, thinking they would get the rest of the way up on their own but after a few weeks there is still no change. I actually retaped them again last night. Hopefully this will be the last time.

Do you have pictures of Pumpkin as a puppy? I bet she was a cutie. :)

Jan 26, 2009
Florence

Hi Christine, how are you ?!
I've been away for a long time from MyCorgi, but always back, of course !
I hope all is fine for you, are you now in the US, or in France ?
Hugs from your friend Florence.

Hi Christine !
Sorry, I didn' forget My Corgi, but I had too many things to do !
( like my blog....did you have a look at it ? )
Cannes Film Festival ! wow.....you're lucky !!!

Here in Japan, school starts at the begining of Avril, and ends middle March !
We're at the begining of the year.
Nothing really new for me, except that I just had my hair cut this afternoon ! lol

I'm going to have a look at your page to see if there are new photos....

Hugs to you and to Pumpkin !
