What a cutie KC is. He'll certainly help fill a part of the hole that Rascal left in your hearts. The name is so fitting and he really looks like a KC!

How did the reunion go with your husband's cousin? I am still amazed that he has a cousin in this little town! What a small world. Around here everyone knows everyone in a way so that's not unusual, but half way accross the country???.........

Regardin the thunderstorms and loud noises. I think someone gave you a good pointer about getting a recording and play it really softly to begin with a few times, give him lots of treats as soon as he notices the sounds, but before he starts shaking or hiding. If he reacts quickly, the recording was probably too loud (it's always hard to remember that their hearing is much more sensitive than ours). Some dogs react to the drop in atmospheric pressure before a storm even happens. There are several good books in helping owners cope with noise sensitiviey. If you want I can recommend some.

Give KC a hug and belly scritch from Timmy and I.

a carpet sweeper attack dog could be fun. During a storm does he have to be really close. Our Muffin is afraid of thunder as well as really nervous when it rains.

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!! He looks like a happy guy

Can't wait to see the pics of your new corgi. Funny that you will be going to KC to get him because after I get off work Thursday morning I going to head down to KC to pick up my Snowy. He left the handler out of Texas to go with this handler Sunday. She had showen him several times and has been very helpful.

I was realy saddened to hear that Rascal left for the Rainbow Bridge. Rascal left knowing that you loved him and were willing to end his pain and suffering. He will always be in your hearts and help you fill the void he left, when the time is right. I'm constantly in awe of the power that dogs have in our lives. Again condolences and I'm sure that all the other loving corgis at the Bridge have been showing Rascal their favorite hangouts. HUGS to you and your family.

I'm sorry sorry to hear about your Rascal. I know there is nothing I could ever say to make you feel better right now. Snowy finished his championship up last week and he should be back home at the end of the month just in time for the Omaha show which will be July 11 and 12. Very good chance it will be his last time in the ring. Kind of expensive hahahaha. Hope you can road trip one of the days there, I can let you know about a week before the times the corgi's go in, plus they have a lot of events going on there so it is fun.
I'll keep my ears open for a corgi looking for adoption for you.
Will be thinking of you

Snowy is currently doing some shows with a handler in Texas who also was showing his older brother last year and got him up to number 3 in the country. He has 3 points right now and the shows the next 2 weeks have major points up for grab. With a little luck he could get his first major win in the next several weeks. Miss him a ton. When he got the chance to go down it was tough because Buttercup was just about to go into heat. So no corgi puppies until this fall for us. Muffin will be ready again and we hope to have Snowy back. 2 litters would be awesome.

the pic was from the show last month. it is the judge, and handler and myself with Snowy

I'll let you know how he does this weekend
