Hello Elizabeth!  Just wanted to stop by to see how your doing. Natalie & I are related, I am her daughter with my pictures that I take of him so I can have somewhere to put my photos and of course learn more about corgis :] Hope that clears everything up! Have a great day!

Hi Elizabeth,  Thank goodness Ruby is such a good mom because Baby Nike never leaves her alone.  She is like the shadow!

I sure have had a good time reading your blogs!  Thank you for taking the time to post and to put in all the pictures.  I don't seem to be able to do either.  Ho Hum.  Carol, Lucky and Sonny

Hello Elizabeth! hehe, Don't worry about it! It is quite confusing, especially because I don't get on here a lot because of school. I try to make it on when I can though, lol. How have you been and are you ready for the holiday season? Lance & Kristin

Thanks for your post on my blog, Elizabeth!  Yes, puppies are like babies only 10 times more unpredictable!  I lie, actually, I KNOW Isabella will get into anything and everything she shouldn't!

Elizabeth, It sounds like you got yourself a near indestrucable camera!  I thought about getting one of those for my wife but settled on a destructible one.  As for light in a room, the more the better.  Turn on lots of lights -- even take the lamp shades off, it's tough to get too much light in a room that doesn't have big windows to let in the sun.  A very bright room is still quite dim compared to the good ol' out of doors and direct sunlight.

Snow (sideways) & ice overnight, Lucky made it down the ramp but coming up was a trick LOL.  It is abt 18 out & I was in jammies & didn't want to slip & slid out in the ice to help him up.  (we don't use his wheels first thing in the AM)  I agree, our view is beautiful!  It is the wall of the Crooked River, changes color with the time of day and amt of sun - can be purple or red, sometimes looks like angels are side to side in the evening.  If you go a couple of mile up the road & up a hill, you can see the Cascade Mts.  Rumor has it there are corgis coming into the Ranch, have never seen them! 

When I was in 4th grade my dad had sabatical leave from Oregon State to teach in MD, I remember going to the Smithsonian on vacation with Mom & the snow started.  She took us for dessert & hot cocoa, cuz she said the gvmt would let out & they did not know how to drive in the snow!!  WOW that was a LONG time ago & I still remember.  Our son is a great driver, but I worry abt the others in the snow & ice as he drives the 50 miles each way to Bend every day.  I don't want to hear the stories!  It amazes me how fast the stores run out of supplies!  We braved the ice yesterday for toenail clipping (what were we thinking?) & then walked around Home Depot - treats everywhere!!  One lady told my spouse that he & Sonny were chubby, very bad form on her part!!!  We will avoid her from now on, I think she should be reported (true or not)   HOHOHO, not very Merry Christmas like

Oooo!  Thank you for the fancy gift!  You have a fantastic holiday, too!  My pups send your pups smooches!

Thanks , She had the puppy with out any problems with the labor, It was a little tri female, but I'm sad to say it only lived for a few hours.

Thanks for the Latte, Elizabeth.   Are you ready for Christmas....I'll bet the children are.    Santa is ready to stuff Sammie and Merry's stockings....and yes, the stockings are hanging over the fireplace....I will be having my son and his family for Christmas and the week after....so we will have a busy home....Sammie and Merry and I wish you, your family and those two wonderful Cardigan Corgis, Jon and Dewi,  a Very Merry Christmas.   Maybe we could get together for a cup of coffee sometime after the Holidays.  

Thank you~~~~

Thanks for the well-wishes, Elizabeth.  I am on pins and needles waiting...

I love Isabella's fluffy hair and I never wanted her scissored very much anyway.  When I talked to the groomer about what I wanted done, I did ask about just cleaning up the butt area.  I didn't want it shaved or anything drastic, just a clean up.  That's when she named the "sanitary trim".  Ha Ha!  Her behind looked a bit more defined (the heart shaped white spot was more defined, I guess I mean...) and fluffier, but she still has PLENTY of hair to catch the nasties.  Yes, we have lots of baby wipes, but unfortunately it got beyond that and the easiest way to clean her was to have her back paws in the sink and her front paws on the counter and just spray off her bottom.  I called her "soggy butt" all day yesterday because she never dried!  I did try to blow dry her a bit last night and that lasted until the next round!

I hope Jonny does A-OK today.  I'm sure he will.  Give him lots of love!  :o)

Farleigh and Dewy will love this:

What GREAT pics you have of the cardis!! made me smile today...I am lovin those tails!! p.s. I posted the Westminster links - saw your response/profile and made me think of this video.

Hi Elizabeth,

I was thinking the same thing. We know each others dogs but we rarely see the owners. For me it's deliberate. I hate photos of me. But you look great! Happy to put a face to the name.

I was reading your blog and saw that you have a tortie and a tabby ...
So far both our homes include:
1 red/white fluffy
1 blue merle

1 tortie
1 Tabby

Now it seem I must convince my husband to let me get two tuxedo kitties to complete our mirror image house! Thank you for giving me an excuse to add to my addiction!

I would just like to stop by and say that your two Cardis are the cutest thing ever and i love your blog on the chronicles of cardigan! Their little Saint Patrick's day attire is so funny! it cracks me up! haha have a good Saint Patrick's Day!

Thank you!  We were told that he's a Red/Wht, His father is a rich dark red and his mom is a brindle, but watching him grow up and change is a joy.  I'll post pictures soon showing the curly red stripe on his back that keeps expanding every day!  I first found your Jon Farleigh (he's incredibly handsome btw, and Dewey too!) doing a google search for "Cardigan Welsh Corgi Fluffy" because I wanted to find some adult corgi fluffs to try and get a general idea for how Raife will look when he gets older.  When I joined this site, I saw that you also live in Virginia and I thought that maybe through some corgi event in the area, would let us be able to meet each others dogs =)
