Will is celebrating his birthday today. He had a little bacon with breakfast. Later we will go toy shopping at Petsmart. He will also get a treat for dinner.
I am disappointed that you have not been on MyCorgi for a long time and have not seen the information about the Illinois Corgi Picnic in Freeport. I was hoping to get our 2 boys together. I thought it would be fun to reunite these brothers again. Will seemed to have a connection with Caden and so did their 1/2 sister, Wynne.
Hi Mike & Lisa, LA Stewart pointed me in your direction and said that your pal Caden is another pup from Sandyshire's The Phantom. My first two Corgis, now gone, would have been half-siblings to your Caden as Phantom was their sire also. You'll find pictures of Caden's kinfolk on my page here.
Will is celebrating tonight by going to our trainer's place. This happens to be Doggie Social Night out there. They do it twice a month. The trainer invites only the very social dogs to come. She sets up tunnels, jumps, and weave poles and we just play. I am bringing snacks since it is Will's birthday.
I had a super time meeting your family. It was great to talk about our 2 Corgi boys and let them have a chance to romp. They seemed to make a special bond and Wynne seemed to connect to Caden as well. Perhaps it was just that he looked so much like Will that attracted her. I like to think that they can recognize their family.
I had a fun day at the picnic, but seeing Caden was very special to me.
Thanks for the info. I never like to travel without a contact for a vet. You never know what might happen. Plus I always feel that if I am prepared, I won't need it. That is good in this case.
Looking forward to meeting your boy next week. I hope that Caden and Will become fast friends. Did you get a chance to look at the pictures I sent on photobucket?
Question: Since you are from the area around Freeport, can you tell me the name & location of the emergency vet? I always like to have that info when traveling with my dogs. If one gets injured, I won't have time to search for one. Thanks.
We got back late last night from visiting Teresa. All our dogs got along great. She had 5 puppies there to visit as well. All red & whiites about 11 weeks old.
My husband plans to set up a photo bucket account with the pictures to send out to Teresa and some friends. I will send you a link when we get organized.
I checked out all your new pictures. You have 2 happy looking dogs.
Did you decide to contact Teresa? We are going there this Sunday & Monday. I am dying to see the puppies. It will be fun to remember how little Wynne was when I took her home.
Read the other message first. It will make more sense that way.
I did call Teresa tonight. I told her that I found Caden and that you might call her about visiting as well. She said she always likes to see her puppies, so you should call her. The name Caden threw her for a minute. Apparently, she called him by a different name before you renamed him. (I changed Wynne's as well. Will was 2 years old and KNEW his name when I got him, so we kept it.)
Maggie is there and she had a litter recently. When I go on the 14th & 15th, some of the puppies will still be there, but others will have already gone home. They are all spoken for so don't get any ideas! You might want to visit soon, however, so you can see the pups as well.
Tea died last week. Tea is Caden's grandmother. Wendy is Caden's mom and she was Tea's daughter with Guy. I didn't ask what happened to Tea. Teresa had a hard time talking about it. Maybe I will learn more when I go there. I think Tea was about 13 years old. Anyway, Tea was the grandmother to Will & Caden as well as my girl, Wynne. Wynne's mom was also Wendy. Wynne had a different father that Will & Caden.
When we went to Teresa's back in Oct 2009, Maggie was there. I think Maggie lives there full time now since she finished her championship. I have a couple pictures of Maggie from our visit. But there were dogs everywhere so those pictures are not too good. There were Teresa's 5 Corgis, our 2 Corgis, and 2 Greyhounds runnung around the living room. It was rather frantic.
We plan to drive to drive to Iowa Sunday, Aug 14 and get a hotel room. We will visit with Teresa on Monday, August 15 because Mondays are her one free day a week from the horse stable. If she wants us to come by Sunday night for a bit we may do that as well. I need to call her again and see if she's up for that. However, Sundays she is still working with the horses and training riders during the day. Can you go on a Monday? Also, I would never surprise her that way. We would need to call her.
I am sure she would love to see Caden again and I would like to meet you all.
By the way, you mentioned that Caden's sister lives 13 miles from you. Are they also on MyCorgi? If so, please send me their sign on name so I can check out their pictures as well. Thanks.
That is great. I liked the story of finding Caden, your wife and son all in the same year. that was a great year. I met my husband when we were both volunteering at our local humane society. I tell people he was a stray I picked up.
If you got Caden in February of 2008, he was between 3 and 4 months old. He was born October 26, 2007.
This is a picture of Will and Caden's dad. See how they both look like dad?
I met the owners of Caden & Will's dad in Oct 2009. They recognized that Will was a pup from their dog when we just walked by. They stopped me and said that there was "The Phantom" in our dog. I had no idea what they were talking about, but it turns out they were right. That is how much Will looks like his dad.
This is a picture of Will when he was a baby...
There were 9 puppies in that litter and he was boy #4.
I would love to see the boys together and to get some pictures. I just finished going through your other pictures online and I stole some of Caden. Here is a picture of one of their other brother's Harry at a show...
We met him in Oct. 2009.
I would love to see some puppy pictures of Caden. Can you share some with me? Since we got Will right before he turned 2 years old, I only have 2 puppy pictures of him that were Teresa's when he was about 8 weeks.

I just found the youtube video of the 2009 Corgi Picnic. I did not know there was one.
I could pick out Caden easily! Can wait to see him on Sunday!

Wyndtree Farms has a very dated web site.... http://www.wyndtreefarm.com/home.htm
You can get her phone number there if you don't still have it.
P.S. Post or send me those pictures of Maggie and Caden as puppies.

Did Teresa have Caden that long? We plan a trip to visit Teresa on Aug 14 & 15. I'll have lots to talk with her about.
By the way, MY name is also Lisa.
