Thanks, so are yours!

How'd the show go today? Totally curious, and hope you and Uno did well! :D

Your boys are very handsome! Love the pics of them in the water! Although they're both good-looking fellas, I'm a little more enamoured with Cooper...gotta love the black and white Cardis! :-)

Hi, I have an arabian and a corgi as well, what a wonderful combination!

I love your comment re the red Cardis!! That I think would be the main problem with the cardigan's. I have Pembrokes and like having one of each main color. With Cardigans you can end up with a lot of dogs! I probably would not mind that but my husband would. LOL

Thanks for the sweet comment on Lance, we appreciate it. :)

Maybe you'll be able to explain all the dog show stuff to me. I'm in our local Cardigan club but I'm the only one in the group who doesn't show conformation. I only do performance events with my dogs. I have no desire to breed or have intact dogs. But they talk about all this stuff that I have no idea what it means! It's a mystery to me.

Dock diving was funny. We were at Camp Dogwood, it's a camp where you can take your dog and they have tons of different activities you can try out. Since Dudley likes swimming we thought we'd try dock diving. But the day before the class, during some free time, we just went down to the beach to play. Dudley was running around playing with the other dogs while I was chatting with another gal. All of a sudden Dudley gets up on the dock and starts trotting out toward the end. The gal I'm chatting with says "Oh! Does your dog do dock diving?"

"Not to my knowledge!" is my reply. Now you'd have to know Dudley. He's a very timid boy and he never, Never, NEVER bails. He doesn't jump off anything. If you put him on a chair it's like he's in prison because he won't jump off anything that high. Because of that I don't even bother to call him back off the dock. No need, right? He doesn't jump so he's going to go to the edge, look around then come back? Right. He goes to the end of the dock, wiggles his butt, plants his feet and launches! I about swallowed my tongue! But I don't want him to know how much he scared me so I'm out there yelling "yeah Dudley! yeah buddy! way to go!" while he's swimming back to me. Then I have to put him on leash and go back to the cabin so I can have a heart attack in peace.

The next day at dock diving class I talk to the instructor about this and she says "Oh, that happens a lot. The dogs don't realize that the water isn't solid and they jump off the dock." I tell you that if Dudley had thought that water was a solid surface, he never would have jumped. She said that we'd know in class because usually they only make that mistake once. But the photo is Dudley jumping off the dock in class! He did it again! He was one of the only dogs in class that actually jumped off the end of the dock. Woo hoo!

But his first love is agility. He's really "got it" now. However I'm still learning! My handling skills need a lot of work but I'm getting there. I have to step up soon because we're fast approaching Open and that'll be a big jump for my handling. I just need to practice.

You've got two handsome fellows there! I see you're in Water Corgis. Maybe I should join that group. My guy loves to swim and has actually tried dock diving, except with him it's more of a 'dock plunge'. :D
