Thank you for the warm welcome!

Jane! Are you having storms? My husband is usually at Oshkosh this week, not this yr, hears from work mates that it is a stormy mess! I know you aren't "next door" but thought of you. Carol

this is sam, our lab/weimeraner mix. she has lost some waight recently so this pic is a bit outdated :)

thanks, I'm very excited to pick him up and take him home for the first time this Thursday. I was so dissapointed when I wasn't able to pick him up last thursday, but now i finally get to.

Your dogs are all adorable. I would love to have more than 2 corgis.

Thank you. I love your doggy door picture.

Rockwell is very close to Charolotte so your 20 hours is probably close. We live in a forest with "free" (really) fishing, boating, horseback riding and golf (if you play). Our area is known for its pottery with over 100 potters. If you have time you could spend a few days here and have a great mini vacation. We leave for MI the middle of August so we are here and would love to have your company.

We are southeast of Rockwell about 90 minutes. If you look on a map we are in Seven Lakes. When are you thinking about taking this vacation? We are in town until middle of August. Consider us a vacation stop!!

We have two! Savannah is our youngest at 9, Marcus is 12 and comes later. Marcus is the I can do it all and do it best kid, so we opted to have them seperately to give Savannah a chance to shine - go figure, she WANTS to mow the field with the riding mower! YEAH. Mike will give her a "pre-test" as her dad doesn't let her ride at home. How is Bella doing today?

thanx for asking! Still red, no puss, keeping collar off & site clean - letting granddaughter help, Sonny has taken a real liking to her. By the way, have been so busy with Savannah I forgot to check on Bella - how is she doing? Can the vet do anything about getting the collar off the market? (or maybe we should all write letters? My spouse loves to "jump on desks"

Jane, love your new pics. I'm confused is Sage one of the pups that didn't sell and you decided to keep her?? What about Calvin?

Oh my gosh.....I remember the Minnesota mosquitos....We have them here too....but I think they have all burned up this summer along with the grass...We did not make it to Hibbing...but of course went through Duluth. Stayed at a beautiful private home on the lake near Giant's Ridge Ski, Golf and what have you resort. Weather perfect.....No mosquitoes.....I really knew then how much I miss Minnesota and the lakes. Could go back there in a heartbeat....at least in the spring, summer, and fall....Winter? Not too sure.

We had a great 4th of July. Gwenie had her music on & I petted her. Silly girl loves Bollywood, who knew. Your baby's are just so cute! Hope you all had fun too.

Hi Jane....sorry it has been so long since I have contacted you.....Things have been a little busy here.....but did take time for a vacation in Northern Minnesota and enjoyed the beautiful weather, and the lakes. We had a family reunion there.....what a great time we all had. It has been so darned hot in the state of Virginia that our lawns are turning brown....Dogs and I stay in except for early morning and after dusk.....Just too hot to go out....Temps in the high 90's and low l00's....Thank heavens the humidity is not too bad. Sam and Merry find the pavement too hot for their little paws....so we try to stick to the grass when playing or walking....I even plan my trip for Starbucks Peppermint Chai when it is cool. Sam and Merry are happy though...they still get their meals and oh....those yummy bones....Hope you had a wonderful 4th...

thanks, Jane, somehow I knew you would be the one to answer! I wasn't sure about the abx cream. I haven't checked him yet this morning (it's early here) I have been too busy cleaning up after Lucky and writing to the wheelcorgi people to find out about incontinence pads and expressing urine UGH, but I think we are to that point with Luck. well, feeing time at the zoo...the cat is starting to stomp her feet, even though I know there is food in her bowl!

Yeah, we would have too much fun! I love to cook and bake! I am a former dietitian, so have experience with food service - I am sure it crosses over to corgis! My husband's degrees are cooking and hotel restaurant management - but he's no fun!

Hey! If my husband croaks, just kidding, I could come and run the doggie home, I am medically disabled and don't work. I cannot lift more than 10 pounds - we could find someone to help. My son once told me (he was 8 at the time) that when he got to be President I could come live in the White House and have all the dogs I wanted!!! We have 5 acres, but only about 1 acre is flat, fenced...not much yet, only as needed but talke of fencing more. Spouse says no more pets, he's no fun! I'll write about the box

Jane, do I remember correctly that you thought that people might purchase dogs laugh with their tales boxes as a fund raiser? You know, I think if priced right, they could sell! We need to live closer together so we could brainstorm this! Carol

thank you!! We still have a little ways to go to get all the nerve control back but I think Ollie will get there :)

What gorgeous pups you had in your litter! Is there really anything better (or cuter!) than a corgi pup? I think not ;)
