Thank you Carol...I am keeping 2 of those pups..a male and female. I've waited 2 years for this litter. I've also been getting Bruiser out to some shows..his first one was in KY a couple of weeks ago and he got a RWD..this past weekend he was in PA and got WD and BOW. This coming weekend he is off to a MI show. Hope he does well. Took Lainey, his sister, to conformation class tonight and she did awesome. I hope the girls do as well as he at shows! How have you been?
Hi Carol! I missed the chat on WC's yesterday. How are you doing? Llyr is doing well. I just have not had much computer time lately. I have to get better at organizing my time!
I am lucky my husband just spends time on the golf course. I don't play when it is cold and windy or hot so I only play nice spring and fall days. I am going to Spokane next month for a few days. Then I am driving with my sister back to North Carolina. She is moving here....that is so wonderful because the boys love her and I will have a dog babysitter whenever we need it. She will be living with us until her house sells in Spokane, then she will buy one here. Hope she picks one very close.
Hi Carol, How are things in Oregon. Haven't seem you around the site lately. Are your boys doing well. We are having such nice sunny days I hope spring is around the corner. The tulips are just starting to peek through. The boys even went in the lake last weekend (not for long) but the water is still COLD.
Hi Carol. I just joined here and am not sure how I will keep up with all the "Social" sites. I enjoyed our chat too. I got to the chat last week to late and everyone had left. The Wheel Corgi group on Yahoo is a great place. To learn and share. We share a common bond and a love for our Wheel Corgis.
Thank you for your comment on Llyr's story. It was emotional for me to write, but I wanted to share. The Daily Corgi Drive for 5 for DM Research is bringing in a lot of money. $3340 as of 2:30 EST today! Amazing! Check out Laurie's latest post:
Huzzah! My dad has some of those boxes to donate to corgi-aid for their November auction. Do you think I should only send them corgi ones? Or should I also send them some pirate ones for the kiddo's who don't like corgis? (although, the kids that don't like corgis I don't think I want to know!) What do you think??
Well, it's great that Sonny is starting to play - perhaps with toys he can exercise more in the house. Poor baby - it is a mystery as to what made him so anti-social. It makes me feel bad for his early life (and very glad for him now!). You're right that you never know what to expect with a rescue - Hank was four when we got him and the paperwork only said he was afraid of thunder - nothing more! That turned out to be true, but he was well-adjusted otherwise from the beginning, so we were very lucky. Trixie was only 10 months old, and despite having been a pregnant stray on the streets of Arkansas, she came to us pretty happy too - more shy at the beginning, but now, downright bossy! They bring so much joy even with their issues. I can hear my husband complaining that Hank is underfoot while he is making dinner, just waiting to see if something will fall!
I truly believe that, left to their own devices, corgis would eat constantly. (I'm also convinced that they have learned to communicate/conspire with cats for their own benefit!) This is why they need us! I'm so sorry to hear that it is hard to get Sonny enough exercise (for you and for him). Any chance there's a neighborhood kid who you could pay $5 a day to take him on a good long walk?
Hi Carol, Lucky & Sonny! Nice to hear from you! Your boys are beautiful and I'm so impressed how you've helped them both. Losing weight seems easy by comparison! All I can tell you about getting the pounds off is that a strict diet of wholesome dog food combined with lots of exercise and play and only vegetables for snacks works wonders! But as a dietician, surely you know all that. Discipline is key! And so hard when they look up with those sweet brown eyes! Best to you!
HA, I love the idea of a sign on his butt about the insta-FRAP button and one around his neck asking that he not get any hand outs. That stinks that Sonny is gaining weight - is he taking more of Lucky’s food during feeding times? About the rabies shot, do you have an animal clinic or a think Petco or Petsmart in your area? They may do rabies shots at a discounted rate plus you’d be able to shy away from your vet. giving you the third degree. I’d love to see the photos of Lucky making corgi angels in the snow, please post it when you have a moment! I’m very anxious to take photos of Alwyn playing in our first big snowfalls. Not that I’m complaining at all, but usually by now we’ve had quite a bit! I’ll keep you updated my friend!
Jeez, it sure seems as though you can’t get a break from all of that snow and ice! That’s too funny that Lucky slid down his ramp - I think I’d fall over laughing if Alwyn did that. It’s funny how snow seems to bring out the best in their FRAPPING abilities. I’m glad that your Sonny has found the joy of doing so. Ha ha, maybe he has an insta-FRAP button on his butt as Jer has discovered. Alwyn goes nuts when we take him out in the extreme cold, let alone when there’s some snow on the ground. He’ll bounce around the yard and driveway as if he can’t control his happiness. I hope you were able to find a heater for the pole barn - do you raise animals in there or use it for other work? Stay warm my friend!
Oh dear; I hope no injuries to you after the fall. Seems this winter is proving to be monsterous so far (and it's technically still fall). It's snowing in Central VA right now and will turn to ice tonight. My kids (both 2- and 4-legged) think it's WONDERFUL, but I don't know. People around here get crazy driving in winter weather and our grocery stores will sell out of milk and bread this morning. (We're only supposed to get 3-4 inches of snow, but you'd think a blizzard was coming.)
I bet the view from your house is even more incredible with snow everywhere, but just like here, I'm sure the snow gets old after your stuck in it for a while.
Hello friend, you’re more than welcome!! Ha ha, I hope you husband finds himself busy throughout the day with projects and hobbies that he’s always wanted to start or complete before his retirement (congrats to him!). If he spends his days baking I hope he makes some delicious treats for you, Sonny and Lucky. I’m lucky on my end as my fiance is a fantastic cook and baker - I wish the same for you! Pomegranates...mmmm! I love em but they’re so much work and I end up wearing half of it, lol! It’s definitely worth it! My goodness, I’ve been watching the news over the past couple weeks seeing how much snow everyone has been getting and WOW! You’re right in that Minnesota has been pummeled with several feet of snow. I know a couple who live there and they’ve said it’s been horrendous with the amounts they’ve gotten. We’ve had frigid temperatures here and the rest of the week will continue to be the same. We did have about an inch of snow yesterday into this morning, I like that amount as opposed to the mass accumulation. Alwyn LOVES the snow - it’s cute to see him frapping around the yard! I must admit I can’t wait for us to have a huge storm and see him bunny hopping and getting lost in the snow.
Thank you, Carol. :) I'm having fun with my blog, too. I could write pages and pages about my furry hooligans, but who has time for that? Anyway, they help keep me grounded.
Your boys are so handsome and what a spectacular view you have from your yard!
You're very welcome for the ribbon, I hope you had a wonderful birthday! Has the snowed calmed down since earlier this week? Being in MA it's been so strange for us not to have any snow! We did have about a 1/2" or so yesterday but other than that it's odd. That's so adorable that he does a "seal walk" in the snow - hilarious!! You should definitely try to post a video of that. Hope you had a great weekend!
Dang, I missed your Birthday. Hope it was a good one! Sorry about your Beav's, but it was a good game anyway. So excited for the Ducks and the State of Oregon. I think both Colleges will benenfit from this. Can't belive I just said that! :) So you still have snow? We have been cold and rainy here. My friends that live in Bend, just left for CA for 8 weeks and 65 degree weather. I leave tomorrow for Vegas and it's about 64 there. Take care, Cindi and Tucker too
