I think you may be my hero! Horses, Cats, Search and rescue with your German Shepherd, and TWO corgis! Caleb and I are in awe! :-)

Simon is a beautiful pup. he has stunning markings. How old is he? How old was he when his ears stood? We have a blue merle cardi that is 14 weeks old today. His ears are not up yet so we are getting ready to start taping. I saw that you mentioned the difference between Pembrokes & Cardigans and it's funny how different they really are. Many people think that the only differences the tail but they have totally different personalities and both are great. :)
PS: I love the pics of your cat with various critters. He/she must be very tolerant. :)

Heehee, I've been here a while, I just don't tend to log in much since I forget about the site until I get an e-mail from here! LOL

"Wow... your dogs and your climbs are wonderful. I'd wondered how they might do in Search and Rescue... now I'm very tempted to give it a go!

Beautiful photos too. Ha, I voted for one of yours, I loved it. Not often you see Pems with tails either, gorgeous dogs. :)"

Alas, Gwynn & Al have tales, not tails. Someday, their Halowe'en costume is going to be Seattle Mountain Search & Rescue, but instead of a St. Bernard's brandy cask under their chin, they'll have a Starbuck's thermos (Seattle being the home of Starbucks).

So are your horses! I have a quarter horse and a paint.

Your dogs are all so beautiful.

We live in Chicago, not too far from Lance (and Natalie). My maiden name was Shepard, so I noticed your name! Cookie is 10 months old and is our first dog; we have always adopted cats, then 2 girls, then another cat and now a dog!

Congratulations on the addition of the new puppy. Simon is beautiful!

Greetings from Wenatchee! Oh my gosh you have a beautiful furry family. Thank God for people like you!
I cant get over how striking your Cardigan pup is. I love his coloring and gorgeous blue eyes. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much. We are doing ok. This is hard because it is all still so new, but with time (and another dog one day i hope) we can make it through. I have two cats right now and we like to travel so my husband doenst want to get a dog, but I hope maybe next year I can get Riley JR

I meant to ask you do you have a website address for your store?

Thank You so much!!!!! : ) The picture of Lance with his football looking out the door is one of my favorites also. I need to add the picture of him wearing his Bears jersey with his football in his mouth! What are the differences you notice between the pem and cardi puppies?

Your new puppy is beautiful!!! Love Blue Merles, reminds me of Lance except yours has more grey and brown.

Piper has the most beautiful eyes!

No problem...hopefully you don't have to do double shifts for too long!
Thanks for the info on the boots. I was going to order one on-line and wanted to get the right size. I figure most corgis would wear the same size shoes (waist line could differ from corgi to corgi but feet are pretty much the same, right? ha ha).
BTW, which new logo did you end up choosing for your shop?

I was searching for opinions on booties and came across your "boot test" picture. What size booties is Riley wearing? XS? S?

Thanks for your kind words on the website. That is our storefront, it is a lovely location that just fell into our laps. Robb and Dana(the owners) let me handle the website work. The logo was designed by a local artist. I think it came together pretty nicely!

Sorry it took so long to get back, but a new corgi pup is time consuming!
We're not going to Superzoo this year, but we're probably going to Backer next. We're up to our ears in product right now!
