NEW UPDATE: The red ones are now sold out, but I have 4 of the black/gray left. The colors are great for fall/Halloween :)

UPDATE: It's now been a year since Sidney's hip went out and he had FHO surgery!

We had to borrow to pay for his surgery, and thanks to my friend Julie who made bandanas, and Jeff who took photos, we made a dent in the money needed for surgery. Now we need to finish paying off…

UPDATE: It's now been a year since Sidney's hip went out and he had FHO surgery!

We had to borrow to pay for his surgery, and thanks to my friend Julie who made bandanas, and Jeff who took photos, we made a dent in the money needed for surgery. Now we need to finish paying off his surgery, and I have finally (with my daughter's help) made another set of bandanas! These bandanas will be given as a thank you gift in exchange for a donation for Sidney's surgery. Suggested donation is…

It was corgi day at Balboa Park yesterday! We're in a heat wave (90 degree temps) but despite the heat we had a wonderful time!

First we spent about 40 minutes playing in a big beautiful fenced park:

they had a blast chasing that yellow soccer ball around!

As some of you might know, Sidney is a certified therapy dog with Love on a Leash. After my Mom passed away from cancer last year, I decided I'd sign him up to volunteer at North Coast Hospice.

Today the Hospice hosted Camp HOPE, a daylong camp for children with cancer and their families. Since Sidney was already in their system, complete with…

Hooray, my baby boy turned 4 this week! It's hard to believe he's been in our lives so long; I guess time flies when you're having fun!

I decided to bake him a banana-ginger doggie cake. I didn't…

Hey everyone,

Sidney recently won an "I Love Foxy Treats" video contest, and part of his prize was a pair of custom made leather collars.

You have many leather color choices, like the chestnut and green above, as…

It's finals week at the University of California at San Diego, and the student Wellness department sponsors therapy dogs to come for a morning and provide stress relief for the students. I graduated from UCSD (many many moons ago) and so Sid and I jumped at the chance to go participate.

It was such a fun event! All the local news stations were there,…

On Saturday, Sidney and I walked in the San Diego Humane Society's "Barkin' Beach Bash" with Team Low Rider II.

The original Low Rider team that Sidney and I captain is for the Escondido Humane Society, which is in a smaller town in northern San Diego County. The event we went to Saturday is for the Humane Society for San Diego County. Both Team Low Riders are made up of San Diego Corgi meetup members - how cool is that?

I was not captain for Team Low Rider II, so I…

And I am on Cloud 9! I am so proud of my awesome team. We went above and beyond and showed true corgi spirit.

It was a beautiful day at Kit Carson Park in Escondido, CA. We had at least 20 corgis show up; it was a sight to behold with everyone in their purple bandanas.…

The Paws in the Park Walk is tomorrow, so I will let you guys know how we did soon! As of right now, the corgis are doing great, holding first place. Keep fingers and paws crossed for us :)

We suddenly went up to 33 members! WooT! Corgis are…

This will be a real nail-biter! Those cat ladies are sneaky...

Hi corgi friends!

My daughter and I made a video with Sidney for a contest for Foxy Treats. It's a facebook contest. If you are on Facebook, would you mind "liking" his video? We'd really appreciate it!

Oh, and the mascot for Foxy Treats is also a corgi - love it!

You can also "like" the YouTube…

Hello corgi people! Some of you might remember last year, I captained a team of corgis (and honorary corgis) to the second place fundraising team to benefit the Escondido Humane Society in North San Diego County.

Last year, thanks to the generosity of our donors, 22 team members raised over $13,000! Even though we were beat out by the cat ladies (Team…

Hi Corgi friends,

 Edited to add: This paw print pattern is now gone. I will try to make some more in this pattern in the near future. We still have a few blue ones and stripey ones, plus a maroon/diamond pattern coming later this week.

There is a third pattern now available for Scarves for Sidney. If you missed it before, his story is told below:…

Hi Corgi friends,

We have a few bandanas in a new pattern! Here is the photo of pattern #2:

This new bandana is teal on the back, and brown with pink, yellow and teal squiggles on the front.

Thank you so much to the folks who ordered the blue floral ones. We have some material left in…

Hi Corgi friends,

As many of you know, last August Sidney was diagnosed with hip dysplasia, and he underwent FHO surgery in order to give him mobility and alleviate some of the pain. If you've been reading my blog posts, you've seen how he did in his recovery and how he's moving really well now and walks without a limp. It was the right choice to get him the surgery.

I was at CVS pharmacy tonight and thought I'd check out the after-Christmas clearance. I found a 2-mug "The Dog" set with a cocoa packet. The mugs have  puppies on them, and I'm pretty sure one of the pups is a corgi. What do you think?

After the discount I got 2 matching mugs and cocoa for $1.25…

A local artist offered her services for a fundraiser so an assistance dog could have surgery. Here's Sidney's masterpiece!
