Profile Information:

Hometown:: Moses Lake
About Me:: I've been working in vet med since 1997. First as a veterinary technician which was a career I absolutely loved. Unfortunately for me I was diagnosed with Severe Rheumatoid Arthritis which lead to me becoming legally disabled. Unable to continue the physical work as a technician I became the Practice Manager of the vet clinic.

I am married to a wonderful man named John and our "kids" include a three-legged Black/Tan Tabby named Jet, a PWC named Alphonse and the newest addition a PWC named Pinoko.
Welsh Corgi Breeder?: No
About My Corgi(s):: Born November 17, 2008, Ashton is my red and white male Pembroke.

Crossed the Rainbow Bridge on February 5, 2019.

Ashton loves ice cubes, playing fetch, agility, herding, obedience, coursing and swimming. He loves meeting new people and dogs, everyone is a friend.

Currently Ashton has received his RN (Rally Novice), RA (Rally Advanced), RE (Rally Excellent), NA (Novice Agility), OA (Open Agility), NAJ (Novice Agility Jumpers), BN (Beginning Novice Obedience), CD (Novice Obedience), CA (Coursing Ability), PT (Pre-Trial Herding), CGC (Canine Good Citizen) and PHC (Pembroke Herding Instinct Certified) Titles and Certificates. Ashton is involved in lessons in Rally, Agility, Herding, Coursing and Obedience and is the example dog in our kennel club's companion obedience class. He is still Mr. Popularity at the vet clinic and finds no shortage of love from my co-workers and clients.

He loves a good road trip and has traveled throughout Washington, Idaho, Oregon, California and ventured north of the border to British Columbia. He lives such a jet set lifestyle.

Ashton is a big brother again! His new little sister came from the same breeder and was born October 20, 2012, Her name is Pinoko. She is so cute! She is a Red-headed Tri and she'll join her big brothers in performance events when she gets a bit bigger. Our little family is growing by leaps and bounds!
I have:: Pembroke

Kristin, Eric & Riley

We just took Riley on a walk and it's like she didn't even leave the house, it only takes her about a minute to recharge her little battery. I'm wondering if she'll settle down even a little as she gets older? I look forward to seeing more pictures of your little cutie!

Thanks for noticing what a lot of people do not. Our bond! Yeah it's great to qualify or even win a class, but the best thing is our connection on course, as well as off. Ashton is quite a cutie! Your pics are great!

I love the Corgi pics on there! I submitted that pic with a different caption, but that one ended up so much better. I was shocked when I pulled up the webpage and saw him! :)

I keep wondering when Brian's ears are going to stand up. He's a few days shy of 6 months and no signs, floppy as ever. He's a cutie. I'm thinking about doing agility - I noticed the youtube video and I think the hardest part will be training me! Enjoy your sight. I need to figure out how to take better pictures. When I visited Seattle - they had a dog beach. It was really nice. Just wondered if you live close enough that maybe you take Ashton there to.

Take Care! Krystal

Hi Gail & Ashton...and "Woofs" from Tucker...
Thank you for stopping by our page. Yes, you are so right. Being in Vet medicine is hard work but very rewarding. Ashton is just adorable. Tuck is now 12 1/2 but very active, he walks 3 miles a day and takes the lead. I had Shoulder surgery on June 3rd and I am on the mend. Tucker would sit on the bed with me and watch TV and wonder why we weren't walking for over a week. We are now back on the road and Tucker is greeting all the neighbors... they just love him. Well, we are off to eat dinner and put advantage on Teddy & Punnie. Yes, they will act like they don't like me for a few hours, I guess that is my punishment for keeping them safe.. lol lol... I love them dearly. Well we are off...Let's chat more about Vet Meds.....Sher & Tucker...Hugs to Ashton...

wow, my family is in San Diego too. I go down to Anza Borrego every chance I get. Kahuna and I go for runs at the ocean beach. He's not so fond of the waves but he loves to run on the wet sand.

That would be great! Yeah it's been a while since I've been to Othello. My dad still lives there so we try to go a few times a year. We'd love to get together sometime!

Thanks for the comment. Ashton is a very handsome dog. He looks so happy. You have some great photos. I love the banana boy.

I have been searching for local breeders, but I am not having any luck! Do you know of anyone?

Nov 4, 2009
Lauren & Emma

I love the ice cream photo! :) You have a very handsome little corgi! I didn't realize how popular the banana costumes were! :)

Thank you so much for the link! I just might be in luck! I found a breeder about an hour away, that will have pups in about 6 months. Sad to say, my cat Cody is about to pass away. I want to wait so I don't cause him any stress. He developed tumors from being vaccinated!!! He went in for surgery twice, and now they say there is not much I can do, but keep him comfortable and let him go when it is time . :( I feel that finding someone who will have pups in 6 mos is a blessing. I miss my babies so much, but I know for Cody that bringing a pup home, won't be a good idea! Thanks so much for thinking of me!

I love Ashton. And the music you chose to accompany his adventures on the high seas made him seem not only beautiful but HEROIC.

We'll pretend we didn't see the life preserver and lead. Just shows he has very responsible owners!

PS My first dog was a chow mix and my 2nd rescue was a corgi. It's been corgis for a LONG time. Thanks for your great videos and smiles.

Hey Gail, what do people use for ticks in central Washington? We used to used Advantix, but I'm a little concerned about the permethrin in it. Do people use Frontline over there?
We don't have many ticks on the west side of the Cascades, but I take the dogs out to Vantage at least once every early spring, and we like the country around Ellensburg and Leavenworth.

Jan 31, 2010
John Wolff

Thanks for the tip. Joanna Kimball's blog fleece & tix sez she does not like permethrins (Advantix, Bio-Spot), and Frontline doesn't work so well (my pal sez so too) but she mentions this "Comfortis" stuff, new chemical from bacteria, pill form, kills fleas for a month or so and kills fleas for a week (not advertised for ticks). I might try that -- I could dose whichever dog is going "out east" on an as-needed basis. What do the vet people out there say about Comfortis? I wouldn't have to keep both dogs loaded for ticks all the time (I take one at a time).
Joanna Kimball's blog is interesting; she sounds like she knows what she's talking about, but Dummy here wouldn't be able to tell if she doesn't. rufflyspeaking

Thanks again; I think we'll be doing Frontline or Advantix spring/summer, or as-needed.

Dear Gail & Ashton,
Thank you so much for your kind comments. I am off the pick up my Tucker in a few minutes and then off the the pharmacy for an RX. Gail, i am sorry I didn't reply to you in august but I had shoulder surgery and I was on the mend. I am ok now. Well, i am off for now. It is so nice to have Veterinarian's as friends. When I went in to the practice with tuck and the results came back everyone was shocked. It is hard for them to treat one of their own. You know how that is... More later....

Jess, Ein, Faye & Wilson!

Thank you for the comment! I just love Ashton's registered name! I did pass on the belly rubs and ice cubes. Be sure to do the same from me, Ein & Faye-Faye!

Hi Gail and Ashton, It's nice to meet other corgi lovers in the area. Next time you're in town we should arrange a play date.

Samantha, Ian, & Toast

Ian's family lives in Moses Lake! We're there a few times a month :) And as soon as Toast gets her last set of shots (two weeks!) we plan on taking quite a few trips to the dog parks.

Apr 4, 2010
Samantha, Ian, & Toast

Bah, I sent that too early... if you plan on heading to the dog park anytime soon just leave me a comment and we'll see if we can set up a play date!

LaVerne & Shirley

Helloooo! YES LaVerne and I will be in the same class as you and Ashton! How exciting! I have never even BEEN to a dog show of any kind let alone BE in one. I'd been taking both of my dogs to classes, LaVerne in Rally-O and Shirley in Agility, just to have something special to do with each one. When LaVerne did so well I was convinced by my teachers to enter her in this trial. Thanks for the heads up on the horse poop. Oh dear.....she has never had the pleasure of rooting around in that! I'm not sure how I will be able to keep her away from it. But like you said, it will be fun to spend that time with our dogs and get to see lots of other dogs. I really need to lighten up. It certainly wont be a tragedy if we dont pass but I really had my heart set on passing.....lol. I will be there Sunday as well. My name is Tracey. I will see you there!!!!

Apr 13, 2010
LaVerne & Shirley

Thank you so much for the info! I am trying so hard not to be a nervous wreck but I am anyway! At practice the other day LaVerne decided to go visit another dog in the middle of the course. She is so very social. She loves everyone and everything and wants nothing more than to get petted, play and eat. Guess that doesnt sound so bad does it....lol. I will just hope for the best. I have enjoyed looking at your photos. Ashton is quite a traveler. I can tell how much he means to you and what a big part of your life he is. As it should be. Makes my heart happy! Thanks again for your encouragment and information. See you tomorrow and Rally-On Corgis!!!
