Welcome Sarah and Didi Blue!

Hi Sarah! How far is San Marcos from Manvel? I haven't lived here very long and am quite unfamiliar with the area. Welcome to the site, I can't wait to see more of Didi Blue!

thanks very much! i heard people were really nice here and they weren't kidding!!! :P

yep!!! it's crazy :) i've been looking for a good breeder FOREVER and finally found one :) i'm moving soon (5 days after indy comes home actually) and can't take my Aussie with me. i have always wanted a corgi so i thought this was the best time for it :D

Thanks for the welcome! I can't believe I didn't know about this site sooner :)

here's some information on the spaying/neutering...not specific to our breed, but just general health reasons why it's good for pets:

It's another Texan, yay!! Beautiful corgi by the way. :-)

You're like the fifth Texan I've meet, despite the fact that I'm in a group for corgi owners in South Texas.

Hey Sara and Didi- it's good to meet another Texan on the board!

Thanks for the advice Sarah, yes I think I will need to use the leash. Now we just need to work on this....consistently!

I don't know about a troll but he sure is an idiot. I feel sorry for his poor corgi.

oh good I felt so bad!

do you know anything on pregnant corgis?

Didi is so adorable!

thank you for the response back to my discussion :D
it helped me :D

We used to live in League City (before we had Gus). How does Didi deal with the heat? Gus hates it when it gets hot here, but of course we don't have air conditioning. He loves the snow!

Thank you! :3 Good luck again and stay safe!

Just wanted to check in and see if all is back to normal - now that Ike has gone !!

I just ran across your response to a discussion regarding "should I get a corgi?' and got a laugh all over again. My dad, who has alzheimers, was at my house a couple of years ago while I was attempting to play catch up on house chores he seemed bored so I ask him if he would like to go out and water my flower beds. He naturally agreed. My two fur babies were outside with him and my boy just looooovvvvess a water hose. While loading the washing machine i heard a commotion like you would not belive. I IMMEDIATLY went outside to here my father hollering explicative and swinging the waterhose at my excited Cardi Boy which was exciting him to a fevered pitch and making by girlly dog absolutely a barking machine. After I had to holler like a mad woman to get their attention (I know the neighbors must have been thinking what the........)I decided that the house chores could wait and took daddy his house for the rest of the aftenoon. Cardi Boy was very disappointed he was having a great time when the waterhose was being swung at him unmercifully..HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I would love to get a Houston Corgi meetup group going. I actually went to Meetup.com and signed up to be notified if one gets started. The Houston Pembroke fanciers have meetings and events that are a good way to meet others. I've done that as well. This past weekend we went to the 6th Annual Corgi Fun Day near Austin and there were corgis everywhere. I've never seen so many in one place (even counting dog shows) and it was great. Bunny butts every direction, I couldn't quit smiling.

Welcome to Corgis in Texas!

Sarah.. why don't we have a group called News of Interest.. or something then we could go there and talk about things that are going on and interesting news ect in our country? what do you think.. Create it and i will come.. LOL Gail.

or "POLITICS GONE TO THE DOGS" haaaaaaaa haaaa aorrrrrrrrrr

Hi Sarah, I agree with everyone else, Didi is beautiful! I just joined the site, but look forward to doing meetings. Maizy is 7 months, and has not been around other dogs. I've been a bad mama.

It will be intersting to see how she handles that, since she is a handful. =0]

Hi Sarah
I really appreciate your response to my concernes about Lavernes car sickness. Your ideas make sense I will give them a try. Thank you so much for taking time for our questions. That really means so much!

Het Sarah,
You might put a request to post only small files in the Corgi Photographers group. Looks like people are posting full-size 2+ MB picture files. The group takes too long to load, even on my DSL line (maybe it's my ancient computre; I'll check it on my wife's new one). Photo files only need to be about 100 kb for the web, I think.

re: Oops, my bad. I sent out a message to all members, hopefully it'll be settled in the next posts. :)

Now you owe us all a little treat. arf arf. :)

Great pics

already heard bout the tainted treats, but very interesting article bout dogs and treat envy. thanks!

Hey Sarah, I've pretty much abandoned the "Corgi Photographers" group because it takes too long to load. It might help to post a PROMINENT notice to post photos no larger than, say, 100-200 kb, which is plenty big and incidentally prevents anyone from downloading your hi-resolution photos for their own purposes.

And yes, that study on "inequity aversion" is interesting; it shows that dogs are smart enough to have a sense of justice. And we thought we were sop smart....

The "Photographers" group loads much faster at work, but still kinda slow. Our DSL line at home is intolerably slow. I've heard that the choice between DSL & cable depends upon where you are and the quality of the local lines. I think our DSL line is just overloaded sometimes.
Some posting software shows a dialog box with an option to automatically resize jpegs on upload, but not this site.

We are most likely going to head over to Independence Park today! Penny has seemed more comfortable there than at the other larger parks we've been to, and it's just a nice, well kept park. If we do head over, I'll send you a comment to let you know when we'll be there.

We'll be there by 2:30. Hope you get this!

Woof woof! you're such a wonderful corgi and I love u with all my heart. :)

Hellou :D you have lovely corgi!

Nope, I never did :(

Yeah, I've been checking my spam filter religiously...nothing there..Not sure what happend! Thanks for the birthday wish :)

Just got it and am shopping now! Yay thanks!

hi my name is sarah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how do you put colors?????

So you have a dog with a lazy eye too? Mine is about 6 months old - to your knowledge does it affect anything? You can't notice it all the time, but I have one photo on my page where you can really tell it's there.

Wow, thanks so much! Penny is very happy she won. superjan2911@yahoo.com

Howdy! I see your near me lol, I was wondering if you'd be interested in a playdate. I know this is a little sudden, But Chey doesnt have in other dogs her size to play with, with out me worrying she's get hurt

it looks like a nice park!

The Daddy is from Lexington Texas. I bought him for my daughter. She lives in South Carolina. And the mother of the litter came from the hill country Brownwood.
This litter is so exceptional. I am in awe of them.

Hey, how about a PhotoShop thread in Corgi Photographers? I don't think it would work as a time-limited contest -- it often takes a long time to cook things like that up.

And who are you calling 'Big Nose'?

Hey Sarah thank for the add. How far are you from me?

:D
