Got my decorating done and even did the dogs room. House is clean for now...LOL Running around with all kinds of things to do and am trying to make time for the kids so they remember their childhood Christmas'. Pups are getting big. Was getting pictures of Rhiannons pups and the one female barked at me...scared the daylights out of me. I've never had one bark at me out of all the pup pictures I've taken. My husband and I laughed our butts off at her as she just kept licking my face and she's only 3 weeks old. She is hysterical and quite the looker. Hope she doesn't become to much of a handful.

Great! Would love to see your little bunny butts ; )

I look forward to seeing some photos of Sammy and Merry! I can look at Corgis all day. There is something so infectious about the joy of life that all corgis share. Great job with getting Sammy's weight down. I see so many seriously overweight corgis lately. Now if I could just get my own weight down during this holiday season, haha.

Sounds like you had a wonderful trip! Did you see any wildlife along the way?? We had two deer run up out of the woods surrounding the area where we live and I had both Ed and
Gem off their leashes for romp time! I thought they were gonners and just about had a heart attack trying to grab for them! My girls were fortunately with me so helped grab Gem and
Edward was a good boy and minded my commands til I got to him! These crazy deer were about 6ft from us:not good!!! Of course I slipped and fell in some mud! These Corgis must think I'm nuts, always slipping and falling!! Thankfully it turned into a situation where we could all laugh, but it could've been very bad!
Sounds like you will be busy with company over Christmas. We have to travel Christmas Eve but not too far....only to Minneapolis which is 1hr or so away(lucky)
We got some snow here today so am really starting to get into the Christmas mood!

Hope your mom is feeling better.....Melissa

My Thanksgiving was good. I will have to look into that vacuum shedder by Bissell. With winter and 2 females going to be blowing their coats I am going to need all the help I can get. LOL I'm a bit overwhelmed and I don't think I'll ever do 2 litters about the same time around the holidays like this again. Its not the 2 litters but dealing with all the people and then the festivities of the holidays is going to be hectic. Figuring who gets what pup takes time and then their are some so hooked on sex or markings and coloring it is hard to tell them its just not for them even though through my interview process I explained this procedure quite thoroughly. I know some breeders won't even let people see the whole litter til they've decided who gets who and even then don't see the litter. I don't think I could do things quite like that.

Hi! How was your Thanksgiving holiday??? We had lots of turkey and pumpkin pie w/whipped cream. I have been making a few batches of cookies already and freezing them! Want to be able to enjoy the break with my kids and corgis so trying to be organized and get it done! I will save the fun kid cookies to make with them, but some of my recipes are involved and I like to take my time with them(can't do it w/a 5yr old around) Anyway, hope you, Sammy and Merry had a great time!!! Melissa

I've been on the go that's for sure. There is a total of 12 pups and YES..they all are spoken for. Well, on Meagans litter deposits are coming in and Rhiannons litter deposits don't come in til after next week. I take deposits when the pups are 2 weeks old since I want to make sure the pups are thriving and we don't run into problems. I posted pictures of Meagans pups in a blog on here. I'll be getting more pictures of both litters but don't like to post them on here to just clutter the blogs so I wait til they are showing more personality.

The weather here has actually been really pleasant...temps have been good with quite a bit of sunshine which really helps anyones mood. I've been quite busy myself...Meagan had her pups on Nov. 5th and Rhiannon had hers Nov. 15th so I have been busy talking to individuals on the waiting list and getting pictures and making sure pups are growing like they should. Lost alot of sleep but so far everything is ending up worth while. Just need to get a few more things caught up and give the house a good once over and then onto preparing for the holidays. Ugh!! It never ends.

I'm glad the rain has stopped. Sorry to hear about your Mom being ill.... I hope she will be alright! We will be thinking of you while you are gone and have a great Thanksgiving as well. Melissa

Oh no, I didn't realize it was seriously raining there. We went thru flooding here 2 summers ago and it was awful. I know about the tree toppling thing, we had a big one go down over our creek when were going thru it. Hope it stops soon!

I am taking Ed and Gem to have their pic taken with Santa on Saturday. I am not sure they will like it, but I am going to try it nonetheless. I have a Santa we get out at Christmas time so am thinking of getting him out to give it a trial run......I'll let you know how it goes.....should be a good laugh!!!

Glad to hear your candidate won!!! You put a lot of work into the campaign so I'm sure you are elated!! Of course the Corgis made a big difference at the polling place!! I can just see them working their magic.
Things are going good here, we must have your beautiful weather cuz it's been in the 60's and close to 70 a couple times this week, we have had to curb our activity a little tho cuz Edward was neutered last Wednesday. So far he is sailing thru it and he's a week out today so I let him run after some geese on our morning walk!!! He loved that!
I am glad you enjoy seeing the pics on my profile! I love to dabble in art and I love to take pictures of my family.....the corgis take up most of my camera card.

Hi Marion,
Luckily it does not rain here much, because Sidney gives me that same look when I expect him to go out into the rain!

I wanted to ask about the names Sam and Merry; I'm a big fan of Lord of the Rings, and those are 2 of the hobbit's names. By any chance were they named after them?

Hey Marion! Thanks for the note! I've been really busy and just thought that I would see what's new on mycorgi. I'm out of the country for two weeks visiting my daughter. I'll give you a shout out when I return. This will be a really hard time being without Tallulah and my husband. I'll be in Budapest and Norway! I gotta go my plane leaves at noon and I've got sooooo much to do!! Take care!! Eileen and Tallulah!! :-D

Hi Marion, I loved your last comment on my page. Your descriptions are very good; you must be a writer! Makes me wish I had two corgis! As it is we have SIdney and two senior mixed breeds who are not very patient with his shenanigans. Like yours, Sidney wishes he could fly so he could get at those maddening birds! He takes after them every chance he gets.

I posted the picture of the banana costume when I saw it at the store, but I didn't buy it. Instead, he wore the lobster costume I got for 75% off after Halloween last year, and I dressed as a chef. It was cute.

Been crazy here as well. All the pups went to their new homes and now getting ready for the next batch that is due any day now. Making sure I get my sleep for this all nighter. LOL Seems like I don't get much time to get on mycorgi.com lately with everything else. Between the dogs and kids I don't even have much time for friends. I just don't like to fall behind on my work. Hopefully the next show you'll be able to make. Been grooming my dogs quite a bit here lately. They are blowing their coats! Have gotten some new pictures of a few of them. They turned out okay.

I hear you!!! It is miserable here tody rain changing to snow flurries,cold and wet, wet and cold! I am going to just stay in and cook up something to make the house smell good and keep us warm! Have fun enoying the fall colors and the all the doggie hoopla at the dog show and good luck!!!!

The tabs contain omega 3 fatty acids to maintain healthy skin and coat..B complex vitamins keep coat shiny and lustrous and of course the garlic w/flea control. Its by Excel 8in1 Brewers Yeast with Garlic.

There have been times in the past my dogs were not on better flea prevention before I had the Corgis and never had a flea issue when people around me did. Do I guarantee that..NO but I think it does help. Someone having a real issue of fleas I definitely think would need more preventative measures. I think the tabs keep fleas at bay so things don't get out of hand and my sole reason for using the tabs is for their skin and haircoat.

I changed up my profile pic, hope that didn't throw you for a loop! You are keeping very busy and I am feeling tired just hearing of all the work!!! I hope you have good weather and a very successful dog show this weekend!! Do you have to travel far to it???
