About Me:: I grew up with a female PW Corgi (1974-1988) named Kelby, and never lost my love for the breed.

About My Corgi(s):: I finally purchased my Corgi in 2004 - a 5-year old PWC rescue from Texas named Bon Bon.

She was originally sold to a family who abused her, and when the breeder (StarCreek) didn't see her at shows, she went to the owner's house and took her back (starving, 14lbs). She was nursed back to health, but the abuse affected her such that she didn't breed well, and thankfully, her breeder finally decided to find her a "forever home." :-)
Bon Bon had a tough time adjusting early on. She had been back with her breeder for 3+ yrs, and was suddenly shipped away again on a plane to us. She took about 10-14 months to acclimate, and took probably 2½ years to really become "comfortable" here. She's 9½ yrs. old now, and doing GREAT!

Bon Bon - In A Cast
On the night of her 8th birthday, she landed funny coming down our old, very steep back stairs (which have since been replaced) and broke a little Corgi toe. She hobbled about in a cast for a li'l over a month. This was right after getting the cast on...

I will forward the photos I did manage to take of Bon Bon, despite her attempts to hide from the camera!! Thanks for noticing the differences in Ginger this year. I laughed to myself thinking back on how she made it very well known that she wanted to go back in the house. That was humorous. It'll be fun to compare notes again next year! Please keep in touch! OK? -Christina
