Thanks Lisa. I am indeed considering a book, maybe to sell and raise $$ for corgi rescue or something. MyPublisher.com
Sorry about Corky; he and Precious did look cool together. I hope she can have another companion soon.
You have some good photos yourself, and I reckon you've learned how hard it is to photograph 2 animals together unless they're both napping, and the old treat-behind-the-camera trick. Does Precious already recognize "Sit. Stay. Smile." as a standard command? :)
The pic you commented on was when Al was quite a young pup (extensively retouched with the "auto-levels" adjustment button that every photoeditor has, and cropped). Have you tried that sort of thing? Easy. Also easy to make mistakes and ruin your original, so always work with a COPY.
Go to Joanna Kimball's page and Shepdog's page if you want to see a real photographer. They have real cameras, Nikons with fast wide-aperture lenses that can do action photography. I've never spent more than $150 on a digital camera (Craigslist, used) because climbers/backpackers need something lighter than a peanut and cheap enough to ruin in a backcountry environment.
Go to Kodak's homepage; they have a tutorial you might find useful (one tip is to get at your subject's level; you'll notice many pics on mycorgi taken from up above). My daughter taught me some fun Photoshop tricks. You've probably noticed that almost all of my photos are rather posed and contrived; my only action shots are done with the "Corgi Trap" trick: let the dog go ahead down the trail, set up the shot, lock the focus/exposure, say "Come!", and hope for luck, you get one chance (I have one titled "At Play in the Fields of the Lord" done that way -- caught her smiling in midair with Glacier Peak in the background, not framed quite right. I don't use flash much (hard on the animals' eyes?) -- doesn't look like you do either -- but occasional fill-in flash helps backlit photos.
We'll be looking for more of Precious.

Hi Lisa & Precious! Just love the pics! I'm so sorry for the loss of Cork! I hope you can get some comfort thinking of Rainbow Heaven...All the best to you all. Lori, Callie & Cooper

lisa & precious , sorry to take so long getting back to you .....he certainly did answer everyones prayers !! i m still in shock ; she is a blessing

They really are =) and thanks, i love your waterfall and couch pics! soooo cute!

thanks, that is a friend of mine. It looks to me that Wynstan is faking a smile for the camera

Oh I'm glad you told me that haha...ya I think it's pretty cute because it's his way of showing love, but I just fear bringing him around little kids. It's so funny because when I lay down he attacks me like crazy. He's even bit my chin before which didn't feel so good haha...I love him so much though! They are such funny little dogs! :)

Altitude isn't an issue until you get to, say, 9,000 feet or more. Very few Cascade peaks are near that. This peak (Dickerman) is 5,600 or so, nothing, but the nearby rivers are 1-2000', so the relief here is huge. Rugged country. They do everything but coarse boulder fields and deep snow. Oddly, it's sun and heat that slows a corgi: no shade above treeline, we have 2 months of Mediterranean climate, and the corgis wilt. Dogs can get heat stroke. I find some snow and make a pupsicle out of them, they love it.
Your beastie is gorgeous.

Thanks for the sweet compliments. :) I love taking pictures, I cant seem to stop myself, lol. Too bad I didnt make a carreer out of photography. :) Mycorgi is such an awesome place, glad I happened to find it 2 years ago.

Hello and Welcome!! Sorry to hear about Corky. :( Love your pics!!

Welcome Lisa and Precious! I'm so sorry about Corky. Your photos are really good!

Hello and welcome Lisa and Precious! We love your pictures - what happy faces! We are so very sorry to hear about Corky. We lost our Algy this past March to Lymphoma and he fought everyday until the end. It's so hard when they leave us! Wishing you and Precious all the very best!

Lisa, they can go to http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/wheelcorgis or click on CorgiAid on this website, go to cart program, click on related links and find it from there. Good Luck!!
I hope it is not DM, how old is the corgi? Carol

Lisa, thank you for taking the time to leave me a note! Lucky recently got a cart from CorgiAid. Let your inlaws know about a wonderful website that I found thru CorgiAid's website-has given me so much information on Lucky's IVDD, but also on DM. It is a yahoo group that you have to be accepted to, but if their corgi has problems, it will be worth it for them! It is wheelcorgis@yahoo.com-if I don't have it quite right, I will let you know!
