Goodbye, Crocodile Hunter...

We all watched the beautiful memorial service for Steve Irwin last night. Our hearts are broken. The animals have truly lost a friend. Our sincerest condolences to Terri, Bindi, Robert and his entire family and friends.

Calvin the Super Corgi....


Greetings, Corgi friends! I just had to share this photo, taken this weekend, of my friend Diane Polito's Corgi, Janry's Calvin Klein, MX, MXJ, MJP, AJP, CGC, PHC, NAC-V, NJC-V; better known as "Calvin." Just look at those awards!
As Diane's "Novice A" dog, Calvin was halfway to his Agility Championship (MACH) before he became deathly ill in 2003 from Ehlrichia equi, a disease carried by ticks. He survived, and has been battling it for almost three years now. He can no longer use his hind end to walk but gets around very well in his special doggy cart. Check him out in his doggy cart on his home page http://www.njcorgis.com/Calvin.html Having dealt with this horrific disease with one of my own Corgis, I encourage you to learn all you can about it, diagnosing it, preventing it and treating it. Diane has links to some good info through Calvin's page.

Puppy Breath....


Is there anything as wonderful as baby Corgi puppy breath? Check out that 'milk mustache'!! We've been busy busy busy here. I don't recommend moving and expecting a Corgi litter at the same time. Sometimes things just work out that way though, do they not? We recently moved during the hottest and most humid days of the year. Ugh! In the midst of the moving mayhem, I am feeling a bit overwhelmed, but in a good way. I am so blessed with the best friends in the world. I didn't ask for help, but there they all were, with boxes and wrapping paper and tape and empty vehicles and cleaning supplies and goodies and lots of love. Everyone worked so hard. Packing, cleaning, moving, thinking for me when I couldn't think straight any more. I am so very truly blessed and thankful. It is hard to find the words to say what is in my heart. -CS ^..^
