Corgi's are so awesome that even my license plate says Corgi.
Welsh Corgi Breeder?
No
About My Corgi(s):
George and Rosie are both tri-colored Corgis. Rosie is a water baby and George is a beach baby. Rosie is crazy for squeak balls and George has a collection of squeaky chickens which all have names.
I just noticed that you are about 1 1/2 hours from where I live in Champaign/Urbana.
Last May we had a new event called CORGI-CON at the Urbana Dog Park. There were 23 Corgis playing together that day. You might want to attend that in 2013. Watch for it next spring on the MyCorgi EVENTS page.
Here is a link to the pictures from CORGI-CON 2012.
I canceled the Illinois Corgi Picnic due to the weather.
I wanted to make sure you knew so you did not drive to Freeport on Sunday.
I wrote the statement below and added it to the event's discussion....
Yes, we need to cancel the picnic. :(
The shelter manager wrote me yesterday and again today and stated that it is supposed to rain all weekend and that she just assumed that we would not be having the picnic this weekend. So I wrote and told her that we will cancel.
The weather now says.... Occasional showers and possibly a thunderstorm before 1pm, then a chance of showers. Temperature rising to near 64 by 10am, then falling to around 56 during the remainder of the day. South wind 10 to 15 mph becoming west in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.
So it will be windy as well as wet.
I like Stephanie's idea of sending a donation to Friend's Forever Shelter. I was thinking of doing that myself last night. Then the dog food, treats, and the paper towels I have purchased will go to my local shelter next week.
Sorry, guys. Mother nature did not cooperate this year.
