Helllooo. Long, long time. I just read a few of our messages to each other and couldn't help but wonder how your "wild child" Kodi is doing? And how are you? Hope all is well with you. After a 2 year absence, I'm too superstitious to ask too many questions because sadly life is short...esp for dogs and short ones, at that!!! Wishing all healthy and happy things your way. xoxoWendy, Lucy, Ricky/Rafa.
Oh Marion, I feel your pain! A wild child. I understand all to well. Ricky-Rafa was the worst puppy in America. It wasn't just Lucy wanting her quiet, steady life back. It was my husband, and I have to admit, many times it was me! He was just so craaazy. There are no words. But, I figured if we couldn't work this out, who could. We've been raising Corgis for 40 yrs. I couldn't imagine him having to go from home to home. He is now the love of our life and Lucy's too. She now eggs HIM on to play. He has kept her so young and fit. He sleeps at my side, sometimes with his head on my pillow next to mine. He's a Romeo. How old is your wild child? When did you get him? Hang in there. I know you will. Write me anytime you need to vent. xox wendy
We had a great Christmas here in the new house and the New Year was celebrated here at home as well. We never go out for New Years. It was a good holiday season! My 3 new pups from the Sian Marker litter are doing great. Really coming along. Meagan had her pups that are all DM clear Dec. 28th and they are up and about now. The fun has begun and its driving me nuts to see who will mature to my liking to keep for my program. You have a great time at that show. I think you should get back in the ring again but who am I to tell you that since I should get in the ring as well but it causes me so much anxiety just thinking about it makes me nauseous. Prefer someone else take the dog in for me. LOL Who do you go with?
haha. i think we'll stick with lucy and ricky for now!!! but i remember that conveyor belt and the 2 of them stuffing candies in their mouth, apron and down their shirts, i think. that and vita veta vegimen was another favorite. do you poop out at parties? are you unpoopular? LOL. she was such a comedic genius.
Thanks, Marion. Hope you and your family had a nice white Christmas. :) We have certainly enjoyed ours (but, I'm now ready for the snow to melt). Yes, coffee sounds like a good plan; let's try for something in January. Happy New Year!
Sending you a warm late on this cold, snowy day. Hope you are doing well and that you get to be with family for the holidays. Dewi and Jonny send Merry and Sammy holiday snow greetings!
Hi, Marion. The dogs and I went to visit the kennel on Rt. 5 this morning and I was so pleased with it. We've got a reservation for the Thanksgiving holiday. Thank you, thank you for sending me the information! The boys played in a fenced field while I toured the place and were completely worn out and soaked with dew by the time we left. :) They're gonna love staying there.
The owner said she might get back into herding lessons if she can get the right kind of sheep (who won't run into the fence from fear of the dogs), and has a friend who might loan her some. It would be nice to have something so close by.
Hope all is well.
Hi, Marion. We enjoyed meeting you all and walking, too; would love to meetup again sometime. Thank you so much for the link to the kennel! I peeked at the website and will be calling her soon; I need to board the two boys over Thanksgiving and knew of only one suitable place in Chester (off Ironbridge Rd.), but love the idea of the boys being in the country with opportunities to get out and run/play. I'll let you know if we decide to make a reservation.
Thanks also for asking around about herding. Jon Farleigh's breeder and also his sire's owner have both also told me not to give up on him with sheep. He has two littermates (girls) who have instinct. Everyone has advised that Jon is still too young and immature to take interest in sheep yet, so we'll definitely try again down the road.
Hope you hear back from someone about herding opportunities; seems the Richmond area Corgi group isn't too active on this site. :-(
Dear Marion: Isn't the weather much better!!! Please let me know what you hear from any herding possibilities. I think that Teri is so involved with her Master's degree that she hasn't had any time this summer and I haven't heard anything further........
We took two walkies today (my day off). We had a wonderful time in Colonial Williamsburg until someone asked is they were Jack Russells. Oh well!
Thanks, Marion; how about one morning next week (except Tues.) at Point of Rocks? It's very close to me and my kids' schools. I can do as early as 9:30 a.m.
We didn't know we were going to enter the dogs in ChesterFest until a week beforehand, after I saw a flyer in Martin's. Never knew about the dog show before that. It was so hot that day.

Marion, that sounds great to me. I think when my kids go back to school on Sept. 7, I will have more freedom to plan dog meet-ups. I'm a stay-at-home mom for now. Don't have too much experience with good places to meet and walk dogs around here other than down the streets in my Enon neighborhood. I think I've seen dogs walking with owners on the trails at Henricus Park/Dutch Gap. Are there any places nearer to you or toward W'burg?
Boy Marion have you got that right! I don't color my hair, I like the white in it. I have earned everyone of them! Still have a few years before we can think of not having to go to work but hey that's what weekends are for. I learned a long time ago figure out who & what are important to you and make the most of both! Also double that happy birthday wish, hope you are going to celebrate big time!
Thanks! Good thing my husband can say no...in a nice way or I would have a house full and then some. Not being able to have children I have four legged ones instead. Happy Birthday early, I just love growing older.
Told my husband we had to find something that went with B-52, as I turned 52 this year so B-52 Bomber Boy! Lord only knows what it will be like once we get them home LOL

Oops, I misspelled latte. (In case you are wondering what a warm "late" is.)
