Well, it's hard to believe a whole year has gone by and the 2010 Florida Corgi Picnic is just around the corner!!

I just read the update from Celeste and there are now 245 people and 157 Corgis registered to attend!! Last year she had 255 people and 175 Corgis so it looks like she's closing in on those numbers again this year! It's a GREAT fund raising event for Corgi Aid and Sunshine Corgi Rescue.

We're so looking forward to it!! And hope to see many of you…

Saturday night Dawn and I decided to get up early on Sunday and drive to Key West. From her mom's house in Miami it was only a 3 hour drive. After parking at Mallory Square we walked the length of Duval Street with Soffie & Griffyn. They were a show stopper all along the walk. And they are the subject of many photos of those who stopped us several times over to pet them and ask about them!! It was a fun day! : )…

Over the course of the last couple weeks the topic of the Bufo Toad has come up Twice!!

First when a friend of mine's little Daschund had a sudden seizure. And after the fact her husband remembered there had been a Bufo Toad in their garage. And this morning - when my sister saw one in her back yard!!

Smudlik the daschund is on meds for seizures for one month, because they are not 100% positive that he came in contact with the Bufo. He was lucky - they think…

Hmmmm… how do I start this. I guess with a short story about a comment that was made to us when we were at the beach with Soffie and Griffyn last week. A man on the beach with his dog inquired to us as to what breed of dogs we had. When we told him Pembroke Welsh Corgis he replied… Really?? Aren’t they usually FAT?!!!

Sad but true I’m afraid…. So I am going to post a…

just got the update on griffyn. he's awake and doing just fine!!! the vet said that tooth has 3 roots and that 2 of the roots had fused together which made it a little more work for her to pull. he's got some stitches and he'll be on antibiotics for a week. we can pick him up after 2:30 ( no pun intended!! ) YAY!!!…

And so..... I guess as is so often the case, greed takes over where the simplest try to live their life. I read this today with sadness. Tasha Tudor's family battling over her estate.…

Back in November when Corgi Aid ran their online auction I was fortunate enough to bid and win a custom painting of our two corgis by Disney Animator Joe Hale. Yesterday the painting arrived! And are we so happy and proud!!! Here it is!! Can't wait to get it framed and up on our wall!! Of course.. the copy right mark isn't on the original! : )…

Yesterday late afternoon Griffyn got stung by a bee. He's okay! But... I thought it might be a good idea to post a link to a website that tells what to do if your dog gets stung once, or multiple times.



And I also want to point out an interesting thing about the bee that stung Griffyn. It was dead!!! Apparently a bee's stinger can still "do it's thing" even after the bee is dead.



Poor little guy.... he was curious, of course, and as soon as his nose got up against the bee,… Continue

3 Years old today! Wow... Where has the time gone! It seems like only yesterday when we drove up to meet you and you came bounding out of the kennel along with your 8 siblings! You # 9 of 9!!!



We had picked you from a photograph Lee had sent us (in our photos here on my corgi) but we wanted to bring Soffie up to meet you. It's always been a mystery to me how you instinctively knew that YOU were the chosen one. But you did! Soffie was very stand-off-ish but you were relentless!! You… Continue

Well, it was Soffie and Griffyn's 1st Christmas with stockings! And was it fun!! There are so many toys around the house now, we have to manuever around like we're watching for land mines!! I posted some pictures to our page, hope you all have a look!

Happy New Year to each and every one of you!!

Let me first start by saying... our Soffie is a tall girl and quite a bit larger boned than our Griffyn and weighs in at 38lbs. 3 weeks ago Soffie pulled up lame on her hind left leg. This following a full tilt run across the front yard. Hard to know exactly how the injury actually occured but.... the end result was a torn cruciate ligament. We had an appointment this past monday with an orthopedic surgeon (believe me we had already done so much research on this injury!! Pros / cons to surgery.… Continue
