About Me:

I am a children's book illustrator & designer. I hide my dogs in the illustrations of some of my books.

We live in the Sierras of Northern CA, surrounded by tree farms. Besides work & playing with my buddies, I hike, cycle, kayak, snow shoe, cross country ski, & open water swim. I take one of the dogs on my weekly painting expeditions.

We have an extensive organic garden (which my dogs steal veggies from!), & and ever expanding orchard.

Welsh Corgi Breeder?

Yes

About My Corgi(s):

PUPPY UPDATE: We will be keeping 2 of our six puppies: Winslow (red & white male) & Gunny (B&w tri male, the runt!). Poppy, the only female in the bunch, is happy in her new home on a ranch in Grass Valley. Enzo lives in Santa Rosa with his new buddy Kong.

We call all four puppies the Corgi Circus. They are so funny. Walking them is a challenge, 2 dogs per coupler, practicing for the Corgi Sled Dog Team!

Cosmo & Rusty will be attending the Sutter Auburn Faith Foundation's Faith & Fantasy Ball on the 13th of November. It's been a challenge finding homes for Rusty & Cosmo. I've turned 4 puppy mills in. One the owner was arrested. He had a 4 year old female who had 11 month old puppies, 2 year old puppies, & 3 year old pups. I'd rather not place them & keep them while I find the perfect families for them.

Our old guy, Stumpy is 15. He's a Corgi-Bulldog mix (Bullgi) we rescued.He likes to think he's a tough guy. We used to calll this the Miniature Rottie. He is retired from therapy work.

Ruby is now on sabatical in Santa Roasa while her family is re-settled.Ruby is also a rescue dog. We drove 600 miles to a Monster Rescue in Battle Mountain, NV. for her. (You can find them on petfinder.com. I've gotten 2 dogs from them, great people & great dogs!) She is the prefect therapy dog. She will crawl next to Hospice patients or seniors & just lay quietly with them. She also works with autistic kids. Even people who don't like dogs seem to love her.

Lucy is our newest addtition. Welsh Pembroke Tricolor Blue. She lives up to her namesake as a goofy redhead. Bit of an attitude, and very indepentdent compared to the other 2. I have to remind her that I'm the alpha bitch.

I have:

Both Pembroke and Cardigan
