I'm Michelle and when I joined I used the anonymous Lady Bug handle because I never imagined I would meet so many other Corgis and their owners all over Texas through this site. It's been so much fun and I'm looking forward to growing group sizes and plenty of meetups!
In addition to the corgi zoo, we have a parrot. Ankh is a loud blue crown conure - but we love him!
I am passionate about animals, motorcycles, photography & being creative. I'm also a gamer girl - the 360 is my vice! My husband I enjoy Geocaching and I'm also a baker in addition to my full time job at a children's hospital.
If you need custom from scratch cookies check out my website, I also do from scratch cupcakes locally.
My husband and I currently have two corgis:
Ziggy, our sable & white boy, is 9 years old. He came to us at 6 months. He thinks the world revolves around him...we may have contributed to that complex a little : )
Simon, our tri color, is a rescue estimated at 3 years old. We got him from Dallas Corgi Rescue right before Christmas 2012. He's been an absolute dream and has fit into our home beautifully. He is our energetic "retriever" and loves to play fetch. He's also a big cuddle bug and has been nicknamed "Kitty Kat" because he is extremely agile and will climb up in your lap for cuddles!
So, are you going to be at The 6th Annual Corgi Celebration? I can wait; we had so much fun last year. Hope to see at the event, we are driving up Saturday afternoon. I have my newest member of the family with me, Moe.
i grew up in Belton Tx. pop bout 12,000.... then moved, austin, midland, beaumont, then (yay) Houston! We just wen't to the danny jackson park today and ein got his butt half way in to the water. lol. What park do yall like to go to?
Sorry it took so long for me to respond back. We got our cake from Barker Street Bakery in The Woodlands, TX. All the dogs from Boots' party really enjoyed that cake. That bakery is filled with freshly baked goodies for dogs. Here is a link to them www.barkerstreetbakery.com
thanks I look foward to meeting other corgi owners in the area (inner 610 loop). Hopefully this nice weather will hold through the weekend. Maybe we can get a group to meet this saturday morning at the dog park off of westpark/610?
Thanks for the warm welcome! I so very rarely see any other Corgi's I thought this would be a good way to meet other Corgi lovers! Remy is quite a "poser" - loves to have his picture taken.
Hi! Thanks for the welcome. I hope to come to the next meet up. Hated to miss last weekend but already had plans. I saw the pictures and it looked like a lot of fun! Hope to meet you and other Corgi families soon!
You posted on the houston thing you were a vet tech for 3 years. did you love it? Im pondering if thats something I wanna do. Was it hard to do? the Pro's and con's?
Awwww that makes me tear up! Everyone can't help falling in love with Mario, and I know he really loved that your hubby tossed the ball for him when no one else would :D. I'm really going to miss Houston, and all the corgis here :(
Thanks! We're always looking to meet other Corgi owners! We won't be able to make it the 28th b/c we will be out of town, but I will take a look @ the link that you sent & hopefully be able to meet you & other corgi owners!!
I wouldn't say we are veteran cachers. I know a couple who are power cachers and have over 4,000 finds. It is stressful to go with them because they are too serious about their numbers. I am a casual cacher but I admit that when we go somewhere different I always try to find a cache or two or ten nearby. Is the Sugarland Dog Park OK? I am sure you guys have been there a lot. Of course, there are several caches nearby and a puzzle or two we could try to conquer! (I stink at puzzles!)See you soon!
Thank you for the welcome! We had a lot of fun at the last meet-up. Everyone was so niced and it was great for Bentley to meet some corgi friends. I know we can't make this months but we will def be at the next one!
ugh I had to go to work early today. :( it was poopy. and OK! when it is cooler I really want us to have a corgi meet up at the bar that has a dog park in the back of it in the Heights!
Thank you for the cute little corgi!! I had fun doing some geocaching with you guys too. I can't wait for cooler weather and maybe we can plan a day of caching one weekend! See you soon!
Thank you for the welcome! I'm still learning my way around the site and just joined the group. I won't have my corgi til early 2012 but I'm really enjoying learning from the posts I've been browsing. I actually just moved to houston from beaumont in March so I can't wait to join you guys for meet ups in the future :)
Thanks so much! I think I'd like to join this Texan group. I still live in Texas... again. :)
My husband is saying I can't get another corgi until my little min pin bites the dust. She's really old, but I'm in no hurry for her to move on to that great big dog park in the sky, either. Ah, well, until then, can I just enjoy YOUR corgis?
Thank you for the welcome! Can't wait to meet all the other Houston area corgis. Kobe and I were trying to make it out to boneyard last night but we had a dinner that ran very late! Next month hopefully =)
Do you have any pictures of dog cakes you've done?? What do you make them out of? I really... really... REALLY want Pudge on MY birthday cake. But no idea where to go to get one. Yes, I am buying my own birthday cake. Yes, it will have a dog on it. I AM TOTALLY OK WITH THIS!
David ate 4 cupcakes on the way home. Hahahaha. Somehow, someone put even MOAR cupcakes into our bag, so at least I got to eat one! SO DELICIOUS! CRACKCAKES!!!
Pudge's male hooman accidentally didn't get any pictures or video of Pudge herding. I really hope you got something! Any idea of when we'd see the video they took??
It's almost Pudge's BARKDAY! My boo and I would like to commission a doggie cake from you. Pudge's barkday is March 10th, we'd like to pick it up that day (or maybe the day before if you don't mind one of us bugging you at work). Let me know how to pay you and if that's OK (etsy, paypal... cash, wtvr). It will be his FIRST barkday! :) Super special.
Hahahahaha! I am glad Mr. Quality Control is taking the Pudge cake so seriously. We are really excited. I told EVERYONE about the cake. I will totally link your etsy store for anyone wanting dog friendly cakes in the Houston area. I'm sure it will be totally pawesome. :D
