Hey Bev, thanks for the birthday greeting.

Lessee, in dog years, I'd be....

dead.    (:

Thank you so much for the comment! Teddy was a good dog, but not only that, he was a member of our family, and we couldn't ever replace him, but we are looking to get another Corgi soon, just a matter of finding the right one!

Thats the way I'm looking at it! and thank you so much!

Well I'll be back early Sunday morning.. I'll have to look into it! And you're allowed to bring your own dog as well?

Thanks Bev, Tank is the greatest and I'm so glad he's ours:)

Thanks!  It was a nice evening in with snoring corgis!

Haha. You could be right. Or maybe she just realized that he's here to stay!

You have a very beautiful family and I enjoyed the pictures on your page.

what photo?

Oops, Bev, When you wrote, Wendy, I would love to see a video of you staging that great photo! Merry Christmas!," I thought your comment was to me! So, in shock, I responded, "what photo?" I never staged a great photo in my life, haha!

I realized just now that your comment was to Wendt Worth and her 13 Corgis. It was an amazing photo! Kudos to Wendy of Wendt Worth for her Xmas photo.

Glad to see Sparty has some of His toes wiggling without bandages :).We have Our laptop back and will be taking it out camping with Us tomorrow,so I'll be sure and check on any news You may get about Sparty.Hope all goes better from this point.We all care so much for Our furbabies and wish You the best possible news.

Thank you, it is hard and I did ppost on corgis remembered... Have got a olt of love from friends, everyone loved Mater he was a character. Not sure when we will get another Corgi, my daughter is pretty against gettign another dog all together. poor girl. On top of it he passed on my moms birthday. :(

If I ever get a real computer, I'm going to borrow photos from my *real* climber friends, and  PhotoShop Al onto *real* mountains. 

I even know a guy who climbed K2.   I'm sure nobody would be surprised to see Al high on the Abruzzi Ridge without supplemental oxygen.

Stay tuned.

Hey Bev, I don't know how I missed the photo of Misty curled up in a Corgi-sized bed. How hilarious! btw, we kept the leopard print bed of Dylan, who died at 14, in the den bec. it would look weird to not have it in the room. Lucy never went near it for 4 yrs. She is way smaller than Dylan, & I assumed it was too big for her. Then, enter R/R. As soon as he was big enough, it became his "spot." Then when we allowed R/R to share our bed w/ Lucy, she, totally out of the blue started sleeping on the leopard skin bed, and all of r/r's BIG beds. Corgis are so funny!

A little - my familly is from the Czech Republic.  I am 3rd generation here.  I know a little Czech. 

Bev,  Did you see that glowing review of the RV park here in NC (near Ashville) that caters to dogs and their families.  Someone wrote about it earlier this week.  We had heard about it, but have never been.  The park owners have corgis. This is just a thought....what do you think?

Plan a MyCorgi retreat at this RV park.  They have cottages and trailers to rent as well as many full hooks up spaces. It would have to be planned a year out.  Do you think enough people would be interested?  Even if only 20-25 families came it would be so much fun.

Happy Birthday Bev, enjoy your day!!!

Hi!  How is Sparty doing Bev?

awww, well glad to hear Sparty is still acting like himself.  Poor guy with the back leg not doing well now.  :(  Glad he is tolerating the stroller rides though.  Hugs to Sparty!!

I am very sorry about Sparty. He is probably happily darting though open fields with Buffy now... RIP Sparty <3

Bev.... So sorry for loss. Sparky IS running in the flowered covered field with Buffy and Scooter ( my fur-baby I had to send to the bridge last October)

R I P Sparky ~ Buffy ~ and Scooter too...Sending you Corgi Kisses from Pippin and Gambler and hugs from me...

Why thanks, Bev.  We celebrated a weekend early with 2 perfect days largely above timberline, just me and Gwynnie.  She's pushing 9 1/2, and still spry.

Al says I don't look a day over 60... but that I should consider getting an RV.

Thank you Bev

Thank you, Bev.  I am watching her close, but she is so active.  The hardest time is when I take her outside, she wants to run and play so bad.  I am keeping her on a short leash, and when I take her outside to relieve herself I bring her back in as soon as I think she has finished.  She is not happy about it!  lol  Be glad when this healing is done.....

We have friends in Highlands Ranch and I used to  stay in H.R.  when I was looking for homes in Colorado. It's quite a big place now, was smaller then, almost 20 yrs ago, where does the time go ?!?

I read what you said in the discussion who looks after our animals when we are gone?

How much money do you think is reasonable to leave in the will for the care of each pet?

Did you work out an amount or just pick it off the top of your head?  I have been thinking about this for a while and I want to put an amount in a will that would be fair.  Should the amount be based on the age of the dogs at the time of my death?  I just don't know where to start.

I noticed another woman said that her niece would reimburse the cost of medical treatments to the person that took her dogs, but I don't want my family to have to deal with this responsiblity for the number of years that this could go on.  I would rather a lump sum go to the person who keeps my dogs.  I just have no idea what would be a reasonable sum of money. 

Thanks for any assistance you can give me in this.

Lisa

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping you had a magic formula... something you read that gave a guide line as to what others have done.  I need to make some decisions. 

We have put off a will for years now because my husband can't decide where he wants some of his personal items to go.  I have thought about just making my will separate whether than wait for him.  I want personal family items to go to my nieces, but I would like to donate all the money (minus some cash to pay for our dogs care) to our local humane society.  I think that is a problem for him as well.  Our family members don't need the money and we have no human kids, so I think that the money will serve the shelter better. 

Thanks.   Lisa

You are welcome Bev. Wynn is doing well but every once in awhile I think his back might bother him. At 8 1/2 he doesn't look like a pup anymore....I have just started noticing it. I wish dogs could live as long as "their" humans:)

Happy Birthday!!!  Hope you enjoyed your day!  My cousin just had a baby girl today and my brother and my nephews birthday are all today too! 

They sit on the deck all the time together, but getting the same foot out was great.  We call them the marines.  No person or thing will get over that fence.

Oh Bev, Glad you both have each other to cuddle with! I bet it feels strange to only have 1 dog and I bet it feels different for Izzy too. It's -18 here right now and with wind it feels like-32. We were lucky not to get as much snow as you though. I had my emergency kit ready incase the electricity went out but we were lucky. The last time I can remember weather this cold was in 1984...

A Cardigan puppy????? Oh how fun...the few months that I had Calvin...he won over my heart:) He got the perfect home with Joanna and that's what he needed! Can't wait to hear more...

Hi Bev, thanks for taking the time to comment on the post, we appreciate it!

Congrats on your new baby, Watson. Can't wait to see more pictures. Tell Izzy that Chepstow understands, he still can't figure out why we brought Tenby home 6 years ago!!

Thank you for congratulating me on my win! Thank you again! 

Happy Birthday Bev!!!!! Hope you had a great day!

Happy, Happy Birthday!!

Your Welcome!  We are headed up to the  Upper Peninsula of Michigan in a a couple weeks, hoping the weather isn't too chilly for the kids, so they can enjoy the lake, especially since they will only get one week up there this year vs 3 weeks!  It is definately wierd with only one, especially all the ways your used to the other one being around, for example..if water was boiling on the stove, lance would alert me, which was good especially if I had walked away for a minute. ( i know i know your not supposed to!!)  Tucker could care less if water is boiling or the timer is going off on the stove.  Will be different without Lance in Michigan, our first trip there without him in 7 years!! 

Bev, 

My prayers go out to you. I hope you stay strong. Wishing you remission and a long life!
