I saw the official announcement today that “A Corgi Walk in the Pearl” raised $1460 for Dove Lewis Emergency hospital!! That’s awesome!!

Some quick mathematical calculations revealed that, at $25 per Corgi, that means that there were exactly 58.4 Corgis at the event!!!!

What does 4/10ths of a Corgi look like? I’m not sure. Maybe they’re even shorter than the usual Corgi.

Photos from the event are supposed to posted on the Dove Lewis Flickr sight soon! I’m close to getting my web site gallery up as well.

Handsome Cardi

It’s Gryffin. Or Stratus. I can’t keep them straight.

But that’s OK. Russ called Rugby, “Riley” during the Corgi walk, so he can’t keep my Cardis straight either.

The 2008 Dove Lewis Corgi Walk

“A Corgi Walk in the Pearl”

If you happened to be in downtown Portland this morning, between the hours of 10AM and noon, you may have seen…oh…about 50 Corgis walking through the Pearl district. It was really quite the sight!

A benefit for the Dove Lewis Emergency Animal Hospital (a place both Zoey and Riley have used on different occasions), the walk was organized by Lynde Paule. Corgis of all shapes, colors, sizes and breeds were on hand to celebrate.

I, of course, had to participate. Rugby got to go along with me and he seemed to enjoy himself. Nobody could believe he was eleven-and-a-half years old. He’s very young-at-heart!

Did I mention there were PUPPIES there? At least two Pems and one Cardi. A blue merle Cardi. Watching them play did little to alleviate my puppy craving.

I took many photos and will spend quite a bit of time editing them. Here’s a sneak peak of two of the attendees today.
