At the Yakima Valley Dog Show on June 6th, in the pouring rain, Ashton got his final leg in Rally Novice! Woo Hoo! It wasn't the cleanest run (score of 86) but he qualified. Poor guy, every time he tried to look up at John he would get rain in his eyes and ears making it hard to concentrate.



This past weekend Ashton helped raise money for the Adams County Pet Rescue by giving his first off-lead Rally Advanced demonstration. We are so proud. Despite all the people, dogs, food and other… Continue

So this is a page from my father-in-law's desk calendar he saved for me. It speaks the truth. :D

On Saturday we participated in Moses Lake's First Annual Bark for Life event sponsored by the Frontier Middle School Builders Club and the Kiwanis. Our kennel club had an information booth, grooming demo, agility and rally courses set up. Turn out was pretty good for a first time event. There were several other booths including a microchip clinic by one of the vet clinics, groomers, boarding kennels, rescue groups, pet supply and food vendors. Ashton sported his CGC bandanna promoting the… Continue

This past weekend was absolutely amazing for Ashton! On Friday night he took his Canine Good Citizen test and passed with flying colors!

A while back I started a new group called iSpy: Corgis! I haven't done any recruiting yet so I thought I better start. This group is for those of us who find great joy in finding corgis used in things such as advertisements, movies and games. I see members posting their finds in their personal blogs (like I have) or misc. forum post but here in the iSpy: Corgis! Group we can keep them all together, like a giant corgi catalog! I am sure I am not the only one who gets a bit giddy when out… Continue

So the other night we were watching TV when we hear Ashton let out a little yelp. He was under the coffee table and came scampering out and up on the couch. He had his Nylabone with him and I thought he might have bitten down on it in a funny way and hurt himself. I give him my usual once over and he seemed fine and wasn't upset so I let it go. A few minutes later I look down and see this:

Aargh! Swollen face! The only thing I can come up with is… Continue

One day at the vet clinic I work at I noticed a bag of Science Diet had a corgi on it.

Which then made me wonder what other corgis I could find around the office. That quest lead me to:

Interceptor Ad

Veterinary Apparel Ad

Product catalog ads. There was… Continue
