New Blog, New Webpage!

Filed under: Uncategorized — cardigancorgis @ 8:44 pm

Two weeks ago, I hadn’t the foggiest idea what “cascading style sheets” or “dynamic HTML” meant. Honestly, I didn’t really want to know–learning about those things fell pretty much at the bottom of my list of things to learn about.

But I did want to update my blog and website and so, through the magic of books, internet searching and just some plain ol’ playin’ around on the computer, I learned enough to update both sites. I’m actually pretty pleased with how they turned out–and I’m darn tired of working on them! I’d much rather be taking photos or playing with dogs.

So, come on over to the new blog and let me know what you think–let me know if things look OK on your end and if you find any broken links, etc. There are new FLASH! photo galleries on my website–I’m lovin’ lightroom for sure now.  

The website is HERE, the new blog is HERE. See you over on the other side…

A Nice Surprise

Today in the mail I received a large envelope from the “Art Show at the Dog Show” folks. I opened it to find a nice green ribbon, a full color program from the show and two checks–one for my “Best Art depicting a Herding Breed” award and one from the sale of all three of my photos! I’m already picking out potential entries for next year!

All my Cardis LOVE to play in the hose–and after months of not being able to partake in hose play, Riley was especially eager for Spring to finally arrive.

Anyone from the NW driving to the national specialty?

Filed under: Uncategorized — cardigancorgis @ 11:01 am

I just read the following message on the Performance Corgi list and wondered if anyone from around here is driving to Kansas (and is interested in bringing a Pem puppy back with them):

I know that the Cardigan specialty is coming up –� Would anyone be coming into
Kansas from toward the PacNW?� I have a handsome puppy that would love to
entertain and provide puppy breath on his way toward Seattle.� I would gladly
get you started back home with a gas money contribution, and his new mom will
help out at delivery…� We want to avoid having to put this adorable dude in a
plane if we can.

Sonic is 10 wks already, with appropriate shots, CERF, and his Cardiac appt.
will be done Monday afternoon– so anytime after the 13th would be
appreciated… his mom can’t wait to squeeze him in person.

The breeders’ website is: http://www.croswyndcrew.com/index.html
