She has climbed 7 mountains this year, and we failed on an 8th. She gets to go more often lately because Al is recuperating from last September's injury. She's maybe a bit slower than she used to be, but I don't have to wait for her unless it's icy or really steep. She gets the occasional "corgi toss"…

Dear Abby, Dear Abby, please answer my mail,
My ears are too big, and I don't have a tail,
My legs are so short, I'm just 6 inches tall,
The world is so big, and I'm feelin' so small.

Especially at this festive time of year, want is keenly felt, and abundance rejoices. So we wish continued prosperity to our comfortable friends, and patience while the wheel of fortune turns for those in difficulty. Health to all of our smaller friends who reliably remind us to watch the doughnut, not the…

Our breeder Carrie Hale (Haley PWC) offered to kennel Al & Gwynn for 5 days, and there's nobody better. She's a font of information and advice about all things corgi, generous with her time.
We got to meet Dante, Gwynnie's sire, Al's gradsire, and Autumn Rain, and Twyla. Superb friendly beautiful adorable dogs. I could've cuddled corgis all night.
We learned that Al is a bit underweight, so his rations get increased, Most important, she said he's favoring his left rear…

Al claims the first failure on Glacier Peak's South Ridge by a Pembroke Welsh corgi without supplemental oxygen. We could have done it easily had we been willing to walk the glacier unroped -- as many do -- but Al doesn't do glaciers unroped. As he points out, "Nobody falls into a crevasse that they can see." So…
Meghan Bland said… Hi John,
Thanks so much for your comment. I shot a message over to Mary Day at your recommendation. I hope that Mattie finds an awesome home. She looks like a great dog.
I am so tickled that you decided to post on my page. I found mycorgi.com originally by searching for "corgis and hiking" and the top result was a thread from this website. Your name was bandied around a lot! I had originally written Corgis off as a possible breed for me, because I had assumed their short legs would prevent them from going hiking and backpacking with me, but my research into the breed showed me how much I had underestimated their athletic ability. In a way, your dogs were one of the deciding factors for me to choose Pembrokes!
I saw Carrie Hale's name on the CPWCC list of reputable breeders when I browsed, but when I saw that Gwynnie and Al were also Haley dogs, I knew I had to contact her. I sent her an email a few days ago, but I haven't heard anything yet. I've got my fingers crossed, though. Hopefully I will hear something back.
Thanks very much for your messages!
Meghan
Ingrid & Ein said… Hi John, actually someone posted the link to your food bag page immediately after the post was made about the corgi who died. There are a handful of mycorgi users on Reddit.
Jane Christensen said… Actually John, the drought was so bad around south western MN last summer that we didn't have many mosquitoes either:) Lake Superior was low too. Actually the last 2 winters were dry ...kinda scary! MN does NOT have 10,000 lakes right now!
Thank you John! I had forgotten he was February and got a nice thrill to see him myself.
Thanks, John, glad you enjoy the pictures. Believe me, the feeling is mutual. Like most I envy your corgi adventures and the spectacular scenery in which Al & Gwynnie take you hiking.
