Thanks for all the comments on our vacation pictures! Parker and Penelope are having fun time in the bay area, Happy New Year!

Happy Holidays Natalie and Lance! I've been busy but have this week off from work so I uploaded some new photos of the K-man. He turned one on Dec. 15. He got what he wanted for the holidays - more tuffy toys and more snow!

So right! it has been FOREVER!!!! My holiday was good, how was yours? all of my relatives are coming up to the mountains tomorrow! so exciting! Including a adorable 3 year old who LOVES dogs! Its going to be a busy week!

hey Nat! I've decided to go with a black and white boy from the litter I had the deposit on

No sign of Ellie, it has really shaken me. Everytime I go down a certain main street I cry. I am no longer interested in another corgi.

Merry Christmas Natalie& Lance !!! What a good looking guy Lance is. Hope Jeter can meet Lance next year :-)

okay i will try that, thanks!!

how did you add music to your page?!

Hey Natalie!!
Gosh, I haven't been on here in forever ... anyway, just thought Kip and I would stop by and wish you, your family and Lance Happy Holidays! How are you and Lance doing?

Not been walking. It's freaking Freezing here. Like, for real. I hate the cold. Makes me so tense. Kota's ears go back all the time... It's so cute. I want to start quilting. I'm sewing a bunch of things for people for christmas. I'm making some fishing pole covers for the renters, making my mom, aunt, and friend some kitchen appliance covers. I don't know what to make my grandma. She has everything. When you on facebook? I have not seen you there in forever. I have been getting on pretty late though. Bye

Nat, Kota's collar was pretty sweet, but when Diesel and he were playing, Diesel pulled it off and they chewed it up. It was barely too big for him at the smallest size. I got it for $0.80 at a thrift store. LOL

do lance's ears ever go back???

Hey Nat and Lance. Hope you had a good night. Have not talked for a while. Is everything ok? What you been up to? Not much here. Kinda wishing Christmas was over already. Kinda depressed. Been sleeping from like 6am or so till like 5pm ... *Sigh* Hugs from me and Kota.

Thank you for the warm welcome :]

Lance is adorable! He has the most beautiful eyes!

lol yah i can't wait to use the camera and hopfully take good pic with it and bettter videos too. love the new pics of lance, i've alwaysed loved his coloring and his eyes!

All that I can find out is that Ava was dropped off at the Homer Glen TLC. From what I can see, she was very well cared for. The shelter gave me her veterinarian records for two years from the previous owner, and she has been to the vet on routine visits every 6 months. She is also very well mannered so I have to believe that it must have been some very difficult situation for her previous owner to give her up. I don't think that Ava was at the shelter for too long, because I have been tracking petfinder.com and adoptapet.com every day because I really wanted a Corgi. She showed up on Friday and I was in on Saturday to adopt her. Fortunately, the shelter allowed me to put a one hour hold on Ava, because before I got to the shelter, another family was waiting to see if they could adopt her if I didn't show up.

I love the picture of Lance looking out the window! My original plan when I got Jack was that he would not be allowed on the furniture. LOL That lasted until the first time he jumped up while I was eating when he was a puppy and tried to climb onto my plate. I was laughing so hard I couldn't even spit out a "no!" There's a picture of my couch on my homepage, with the dogs sleeping on it, so you can see how it compares to yours. I do need to straighten the cover periodically if we are using the furniture, but honestly that's easier than forever trying to get off dog fur and cleaning up spots (Jack has developed a bad habit of licking fabric if he thinks he smells a crumb).

Hi! I don't think I was the one who told you about the Rosemont show, but the answer is that yes, they charge a mint for parking: $11 per car. The premium is here: http://www.onofrio.com/plist/skok1pl.pdf and it's under "Attention Exhibitors."

I don't know if you were planning on bringing Lance - technically you're not supposed to but we ALL do. If he's well-trained around other dogs it's generally OK. Just don't let him sniff or even pay too much attention to other dogs, and keep him very much under control on a short leash. If he's on a show lead that's best, because dogs on pet collars tend to look really obvious. If that would be too much of a pain, just leave him home.

I do like the seat covers. They are fairly attractive and comfortable to sit on. They slide around a bit more than I expected, but that's because we have a slightly overstuffed couch with a higher-than-normal back; on a more traditional style I think it would stay in place better. It does the job with the hair, though!

I may need to do as you suggest and join the ISpy group and post a picture. I do have the packaging still. Thanks for asking!.
