Oh, she! Derp! I just figured it was a boy. Yikes.
Gotta love Bramanor Corgis haha. I cannot wait to get a puppy! I have a few breeders that I like in particular, but of course it all comes down to them too, and if they think I'd be a good match.. I have about a year or so before I can even start to look for real though.. Sigh :(
Hi Steve, Gromit and Sparkle are getting along famously, I am really pleased by that. As it happens, Gromit is Sparkle's uncle and since Ziggy is Gromit's half-sister that would make her Auntie Ziggy to Sparkle. Fun stuff. I hope all is well there on the coast.
I saw your more recent photos of Ziggy. Still a beauty and looks a lot like Night. Gromit and Chance are ringers. Ziggy and Night look more like litter mates than Night and Gromit. Funny about genetics.
Hey Steve. I told Doug but I forgot to mention to you that I met Ziggy and Gromit's dad, Chance, at the S. CA specialty. I recognized him because he's a ringer for Gromit. I happened to be sitting with Gromit's breeder, Jean York, and commented how much the Corgi near us looked like Gromit. She said, "that's Chance, Gromit's dad." I'll try to find some photos of Chance and attach them later.
Doug and Gromit are even further! Look out for a corgi in a wicker basinette w. a baby blue blanket.
PS
How's Ziggy? I will check out his photos tomorrow. We had a behavioral dog trainer out today for her 2-hr consultation with R/R. She really knows her stuff, so Jack and I are optimistic. So is Lucy!
@ Steve - PS Santa Barbara is a mere 2 hr drive from our house should we choose to leave Ricky/Rafa at the home of a rugged mountain climber/adventurer like you! John Wolff is too far. Want to be his godfather? LOL, We'd give you a big endowment (bribe!).
I saw too much of it. I just hope rafa gets the hard court jitters out and claims NY. I was surprised as in >gasp< that baghdatis (sp?) won. to me, baghdatis is a panderer to the crowd and i hate that. tonight he was too busy winning the match to pander. but, c'mon. kissing the court. i really wanted a roger/rafa final. did you ever think of naming ziggy roger? i have a bunch of z-names should you want a second corgi. good night.
OK. OOOPS again. Little League is over. Rafa will be playing Baghdatis in a few minutes! We may yet get a Rafa/Roger final. ¡Vamos Rafa! Please tell me if you're not interested in my tennis FYIs. I just thought since you thought of naming Ziggy Rafa, that you were a big Rafa fan. Also, it reinforces Doug and Gromit's thought that Rafa is a girl's name!
Ooops! Definitely TMI--too much information. I DVR'd the tennis listed in the LA Times at 7PM and it's Little League Baseball. : (
So, if you're interested in watching/taping the ATP Masters, you better check the times. Obviously, the LA Times did not get tonight's match right. I love every sport EXCEPT baseball. Meantime, while I'm typing, Rafa got my iPhone. He loves to be bad. Is Ziggy like that? Rafa loves to make mischief, but is a bundle of joy. A real lover boy. However, Lucy is not quite convinced.
Just a head's up about the last Master's event before NY gets started. Maybe you saw matches this morning. I missed them. But, there's more matches tonight at 7PM PST on ESPN. It may be the womens. Jack thinks that tomorrow all the big guns will be playing either on the Tennis Channel or ESPN2. One semi-final is listed tomorrow at 4PM PST on ESPN2. I can't find a listing for the other semi-final. So, if you find it, please let me know. The final will be Sunday, 9am CBS. TMI?
I'm thinking of pushing up the date for Rafa's neutering to the 27th. He's driving Lucy nuts today which in turn is of course driving me nuts. There's a pun in this, unintended, haha! We can compare notes. Hope it goes easy for your baby, Ziggy.
I knew I wrote too soon about Rafa settling down. He's a wild man today.
PS Quite an upset yesterday. Never liked Murray much. But he played very well. Hoping for a different outcome when they get to NY and it's best of 5 sets. ¡Vamos Rafa! or I may have to make Doug happy and come up with a new name for Rafa, no?

Thanks for replying :D
Hey there! Your Ziggy is way too cute! You can tell he is related to Gromit and Sparkle.. Good lines :D
Wow, hope to see more pictures of the little guy! I love his face :)
Steve, scan the paper and post it, it would be great fun to see.
