Hi Gail & Ashton.  I can't help but keep going back to Ashton's "cheeky" picture to get a good laugh.  Oh, and he got picture of the day...yay!

The road trip sounds fun!  You have to stop by the Redondo Beach Dog Park on Saturday or Sunday morning (early morning) or even the Huntington Dog Beach.  It's fun watching dogs play but even more fun when it's a bunch of corgis.  There's one corgi who looks just like Steve that I was following him not knowing it wasn't my boy.  I'll send you some other fun dog friendly places later. 

Hi! Thanks for the note! The girls and I are doing OK. LaVerne is still struggling with her injury. I had decided to say heck with it and enter her in the last Rally class but we had an unexpected death in the family that knocked us all back a ways. I just got the notification in the mail about the Moses Lake show, and Im not sure what to do. We havent done ANYthing since the last show in Moses lake LAST year. No classes, nothing! Im tempted to give it a shot anyway but when I tried to practice with her the other day she was  so excited that she would sit when I said down and down when I said sit and bounce around with joy. Overly excited.....lol. I did have Shirley in an agility class this fall but she isnt ready for a trial.  How exciting for Ashton and congratulations for all your sucess! Maybe I will see you in April! I really need to do something. I think perhaps she will never be just right again and will always have a limp. Maybe I need to sop babying her. Who knows......it is what it is. Thanks again for the note and way to go Ashton! I will be looking forward to seeing his video!

Thank you for the birthday greetings! I didn't ask for it, but I got a thrid day for snow for my birthday!! The corgi boys are a lovin it! Carol, Lucky and Sonny

Hey, best of luck when Ashton's first agility happens. You've got plenty of time for practice so he should do great. Gromit loves to run on his backyard agility course, it's been a great training tool even though we have no plans to compete. Agility stuff is so easy to build as long as a person doesn't have to worry about the stuff being "regulation", that I think all Corgis should have at least a pause table, a jump, and hula hoop. Ok, maybe not a hula hoop but the other stuff for sure.

Thanks Gail- Ashton is a cutie! I love the profile pic!

Thank you!

thank you. I am very excited to see what is to come about with my Leo. Right now we're at the beginning training.

You are simply one of the sweetest people with the biggest heart I have come across in years. Thank you so much for the get well wishes and the great advice. My Vet has LaVerne in for physical therapy once a week and massage therapy twice a week. She also has me do some exercises and massage at home daily. Her recovery has been much slower than anticipated as her surgeon had hoped she would be back to regular activity by mid November. I am trying to stay positive but I do get scared that she will never be the same.
Shirley did really well in her Agility class yesterday. Boy that is a LOT of work. It makes me think of "So you think you can dance" show on tv. Shirley does well but I have a heck of a time getting the steps right....lol. I have heard through our Kennel Club about how well Ashton is doing. I cant wait to see! It sure is fun to watch agility and Ive dicovered its much harder than it looks...lol. Thank you again for everything to include your hospitality when we were at the show in Moses Lake last March. We are looking forward to seeing you again.
Sincerely, Tracey, LaVerne and Shirley

Congratulations on your Rally success! LaVerne got attacked by a big dog while we were camping and injured her shoulder back in July. It took unil late August to get a firm diagnosis and she had to go to WSU for surgery in September. She was in a sling until a couple weeks ago and she is having a hard time recovering. To make matters worse she has gained weight but she in on strict orders for limited activity. ANYway, she and I have made NO progress the Rally-O. We are still in the same spot you left us in back in March! I heard that Ashton in doing agility too! Way to go! Im starting Shirley in a new agility class tomorrow. Have to leave a sad LaVerne at home! :o( Again congrats on your success with Ashton. He is a great dog!

Ashton and I have the same birthday <3 haha
I just read your 'about me' section. I, too, have health issues. I have had two transplants and have endometriosis. So far my health has been good enough not to slow me down with my goals in veterinary stuff, but I do worry that it makes people think I am weak when they know a lot about it. The clinic I worked for was a very "family" like mentality and they were so understanding about my health, I fear I won't find the same kind of understanding in other practices...
Okay. I will stop flooding your wall now ;)

Aw, thank you! I think washington is beautiful, but I just signed a lease to a new apartment here... which has created problems because my boyfriend is transferring schools to San Diego, and I'd love to just move and start new with him but I am in this lease now for a year. I trust everything will come together, I am applying at a few places today, and hopefully I'll find something soon. The clinic I worked for has over $80,000 in collections in progress because it was in a low income area and *no one* paid when they said they would, even long time clients, so they weren't making ends meet and had to let me go... I was the newest employee, so of course I was the first to be cut.. haha..

Thank you! My husband did wish for a Dobbie but once we got Odin he was hooked!!! I'm really looking forward to having other to gush to about my Corgi!!!

Thanks for being my new friend! How have you been?

Thanks, and I'll have to watch your videos tomorrow when I have time! :) We didn't video Crystal's CGC test.. I didn't even think of it!!!

thanks! It's just beginning (I think mycorgi must be on EST? I'm on PST time though so I was a bit confused when it showed my bday as "today".)

Thank you for the friend request, I didn't notice it when I wrote the first comment! I love your party hat Ashton!

HAHAHA! Corgi sized zucchini!!! When we lived in Corvallis our neighbor used to sneak baby-sized zucchini into the basket on the fence in which we put shared produce!
