Hi, I really did not know what to leave either so just picked a number that sounded reasonable that did not make my husband choke too much :) I also included wording that our two kids (adults) can make the choice between rescue or homes with them or someone they know. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs and realize that depending on when my husband and I pass that our kids may not be able to committ to having our animals too. I tried to use a sum that our estate could support that would be enough for average old age costs. Just guessing though. Good luck in your desicion making!    Bev

Oh, no, I forgot all about this! So sorry. I did go on a really big search around Xmas time for the yarn from this, because some one "cleaned up" my stuff, but claimed to have never seen any of it.

This is the pattern that inspired the Corgi scarf.

I modified it as I went along. Of course there was no tail, except for a little tiny nub added to the end. I made the feet from rectangles, folded them into little hollow paw-shaped tubes, and used duplicate stitch for the paw prints. A hair clip from the craft store made the jaw clip to bite onto the body of the corgi. I made it long enough to wrap twice to be short enough to wear with my shelter T-shirt, or once for a "stole."

Yarns: Vanilla Lion Brand Cotton-Ease. Another similar cotton yarn, light peach color, same color as my corgis fur. The 2nd and 3rd yarn are missing their labels, but one is an eyelash yarn, an orangish bronze color, the other an eyelash that is silvery white. These were used on the same #15 needle with the peach body color. I also used a white eyelash with the Vanilla cotton for the bunny butt. The feet were Vanilla cotton alone.

I do have some pictures. If you send me your email address, I can send you those. I struggled (in a good way) over how to do the feet and the bunny butt, as well as shaping the head. I'm not thrilled with my corgi's ears, but I'm happy with the rest. I've worn it at the shelter and received many compliments, though no one knew what it was :)

In fact, if someone could explain to me how to post pictures in a post, I could post the silly thing.

thansk for your input on the song.  i've tweaked it a bit more.

Hi - I AM the corgi mom with the corgi scarf. I just now saw your message to me about it. I do have the original fox pattern on my computer and a few pix, and I should have the yarn labels lying around. I can pull all that together for you, but I can't tell you exactly how I did it. There was a lot of doing and un-doing, thinking and experimenting. That's what made it fun, especially since it's something I can't really wear anywhere. I'll work on collecting all that info and send it on.

Thanks for letting me know. I hopped on the event page earlier today before I saw your comment because I figured the weather was going to mess with our plans. *le sigh* Oh well, hopefully next year. 

Thanks for letting me know! I was just thinking about it, but given the weather and that I am bogged down with grad work I didn't know if I would make it! I appreciate you thinking about me!!

Well, darn :(  Thanks for letting me know.  Maybe next year!

Shandy would have LOVED to come to the Freeport picnic.  We had such a good time in Wisconsin with all the Corgi's.  Unfortunatly we have another commitment that day and won't be able to make it:(  

Well, Lisa, I realized it was under 100° late in the afternoon so I had no excuse not to take them out for a little fun in the backyard and of course snap some pictures.  Got me out of the house too, it's been a long summer indoors!

It was so great to see you and your precious two (plus hubby) on Saturday. I wanted to say goodbye, but George started getting tired and cranky, and before he picked a fight, I thought we'd better get out of there. :P

I really hope the IL picnic is a bouncing success--with such a gathering of cute corginess, how could it not be?!

(My mom just bought her train tickets to come see me that weekend, so it's official i won't be able to make it.)

Thanks so much for being such a great, faithful corgi friend. I wish you a great year until we meet again!

I couldn't believe how many there were! It was so much fun, and it was nice to see you again too :)

thanks lisa. i was so looking forward to the picnic. but, there will be more in the future. i talked to her this morning for a minute and she told me they were going to scan her brain. but she did rest good thru the night. have fun at the picnic

Hi Lisa, Olympic + Corgi lovers killed the internet, we were one of the first non - UK site with the video and was not able to handle the sudden surge of traffic. Sorry for the interruption.

Yep, I brought the Black Bean Salad also. :) Lately I've been making a Greek Pasta Salad for pot lucks that seems to be pretty popular. So I can make either dish. 

Hey there! That is such a bummer! I did not hear about it! I would love to get her together with some other Corgi's I am hoping to make the picnic, it is a far hike though. I would definitely attend Corgi Con 2013!! I am so happy to see you on here as well!

Lisa, Thanks for your notes on my neglected page! George and I are planning on coming to the WI picnic, but I'm pretty sad to report I'm going to have to pass on your IL picnic due to family coming in from out of town.  I really hope you get a grand turnout and can't wait to catch up with you and your darlings in September!!

-awoof, 

darcie (n George)

We have to get there soon.  Might need to call ahead and see what "party" is happening when! If you ever plan to go back let us know, would love to have our RHT, Tenby (and Chepstow) meet yours.
