I think there is but it says the dog's can't swim in it. 

Will you come if we meet at Freeport September 11th?

Do you know Gracie's parents' names?  I'm trying to figure out how she's related to our Duchess.  Duchess's dad's name is Gambler and I can't remember her mom's name it started with a B. : )

Yes we did get Duchess from Sandy.  Your Gracie and our Duchess must be related then!  Can you send me a picture of Gracie?  I know you have 4 corgies.  Which one is she?  This is too cool.  Thanks for letting me know! Hope you are doing well! : )

Thanks for sending the friend thing. This is my first experience on any kind of blog.  I always said I would not join a group because who has the time. So, I am confused about all the things to check and I almost missed your message.  I actually had 3 people I found out that tried to contact me.  I'll get it!

I joined MyCorgi because I went to that Wisconsin picnic and wanted to share the pictures with the other people there.

Last night I wrote a message directly to Mike & Lisa who I found were in charge of the 2009 Illinois Corgi Picnic.  I asked them if they would be in charge of it this year.  No answer yet, but my fingers are crossed.  I can not volunteer myself because I live too far from the location.  No one would want to drive to Champaign and our dog park is not that great.

I got Wynne in June 2009 when she was 11 weeks old.  She was my first Corgi.  Will joined us in October 2009.  He was already 2 years old.  His owner died of cancer and he needed a new home.  Before that I had German Shepherd mixes from the humane society.  They were wonderful, but I wanted to go with a smaller dog.  When my 14 1/2 year old Shepherd had problems getting up I was not much help.  So I wanted a dog I could lift on my own.

I looked at your pictures earlier and assumed the cute girl was you.  Now I realize from your comment that the girl is your daughter.  Is she at U of I?  You must be closer to my age.  I'm 54.

Have you been with MyCorgi long?  I am curious who in the Freeport area could take on the picnic project and I don't really know anyone in the group.  I think I read something about last year's picnic didn't happen because the woman organizing it was sick... Is that right?  Someone that lives near that area needs to be in charge, but who? 

I can't be much help here in Champaign.  I can throw out ideas, but that is about all.  Frankly, if the weather is bad that day I won't drive 3 1/2 hours to sit in the rain. 

I am willing to drive if the weather is good.  If we can get some people interested, then it gets easier to do it as an annual event since you just repeat what worked.
