Happy New Year!!!

Dear reader:

Well, today 2010 comes to an end.  What a year it has been!  On my side things are looking positive. Lots of great memories and new experiences.  I wish that 2011 fills you with lots of blessings, beautiful memories, unlimited hope, courage to face good or bad changes, good health all year, cherished moments with your loved ones, achieved goals,  and of course more healthy, happy, nub or tail wiggling, mischievous, frapping, caring, cuddling, adventurous corgis!!!!

Thanks to all of you for making us company in this blog, sharing experiences and comments.  Come back next year too.  There will be more little adventures and things to share.  Nala & Cosmo wag their nub and tail anticipating your visit.

To all, Happy New Year!! Welcome 2011!

A New Year is coming!!  FRAP  all year around!  Yay!

Secret Santa Corgi Gift!!! Christmas 2010

I am a late posting about this.  But finally I can get around.  Our secret Santa were  A Echempati and Gryff from Not a Leaf Blog.  They send us an  Weekender Feedbag.  I loved it!!  It just solved the "Where should I carry the food?" question forever.  It is washable and seems sturdy enough.  It has a velcro closure that will keep "curious corgis" away from the food.  No more plastic bags!!!  This is it!  Thank you so much A and Gryff!!! We really liked our gift.

Fallter (Fall/Winter) 2010/ Secret Santa's Gift!!

Here in the "Sunshine State" we got what I call a Fallter (Fall/Winter).  These are the months that one day the weather will be in the 70's and then either 10 hrs later or the next day we are shivering at 27 degrees.  But I find myself lucky enough not to deal with snow.  Although many of you will differ.  One day, I will be daring enough.  But right now, I prefer being warm and cozy.  Here are some pics of the girls enjoying the Fallter:

Nala pondering about what to do with so many leaves.   Mischief on progress.

Long dog.  

Also we received our Secret Santa Gift a couple of weeks ago.  I have not been able to go to the internet too much.  Due to work and reading "The Girl With The Dragon Tatoo" Trilogy and "Merle's Door" the latter was our Paw it Forward gift from Amy and Winnie @ Herding the Corgi. All of these books are highly addictive. ; )

Here is the gift from the Secret Santa.  Waiting to be opened.  Can't wait!!!  Thanks!!!

Good morning!

"Good morning Mom!  I know is VERY early in the morning.  And it might be VERY cold outside.  But... I am ready to start my fun filled day!  You see?  I am awake, you should be awake too.  I know you are awake.  Let's go play.  Now. Now. Now."

Translated from Corgi Talk or "Wookie" sounds.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Wishing you, dear reader, a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.  Always be thankful of all your blessings.

2010 FL Corgi Picnic Pics!

On Saturday, Nov 13, 2010.  Around 200 Corgis and their humans went to have a fun day at Melbourne, FL for the Annual Corgi Picnic in benefit of Corgi Aid.  This year was the biggest one and I can happily report that $3,500.00 were collected for Corgi Aid.  And $600 for Sunshine Corgi Rescue!  Yay!  It was great fun, and a great turn out.  All Corgis behaved so good and I can bet that when they returned home they were exhausted and with a big smile.  I will definitely will go next year, and will encourage you dear reader, if there is one of this Picnics in your state, please do your best to go.  I have chosen some of my best pics.  But for seeing really, professional, very good ones you can go to the FL Corgi Picnic Faceboook Page.  All sizes, shapes, colors, Cardis, Pembrokes... OK! Here they are!

Happy Barkday Nala!!

Happy Barkday Nala!!  3 years ago, you came into this world!  I am so glad for having you in my life!  Love you, love you, love you!  Here is a gigantic bone shaped cookie for you!

Deer antler and Birthday Cookie

NOM, NOM  Thanks mom!

More great doggie stuff at Woof Gang Bakery in Celebration, FL.  Only part of the cookie was given to Nala.  The rest will be given to her during the next couple of days.  Nala did not agreed with this idea.  She claims that being the Bday girl gives her exclusive rights.

Her b-day this year was a whole weekend celebration.  We went to the FL Corgi Picnic on Saturday and had a blast (pics will be posted soon).  We went for a short trip to Meadow Woods Dog Park this morning. Later in the afternoon, we went to the Woof Gang Bakery and made it a whole afternoon, because there was a nice Farmer's Market close by.  Nala got tons of attention and enjoyed every single minute of it.  Right now, she and Cosmo are completely passed out.  I guess they did have fun.  : )

This Weekend.... Florida Corgi Picnic!! Yay!!

Tomorrow!

Halloween fun! Paw it Forward still on!

Mom took us to the Winter Park Pet Costume Contest on Halloween.  We are not too fond of costumes on ourselves, but Mom decided to take us trick or treatin' anyway.  As soon as I found out that all those humans were handing out treats just for me being cute, I can't wait to do it again!!!  What a bounty of treats me and Cosmo got!  But, Mom, being a Mom, don't allow us to eat them.  She has already rationed them.  Not fun.

Official Event Poster

The Pet Costume Contest was on it's 11th edition.  It is sponsored by Bullfish and the Doggie Door stores. They are very pet friendly, and has two big doggie events during the year.  The Costume Parade in October, and the Doggie Art Festival on Spring.  The Doggie Door was a little corner on the Bullfish store, but its now a big and nice establishment.  Mom, went and wished to have an infinitely money producing wallet.  There is so much cool, different, cute, and unique stuff at this store.  There is also a corner for cats, and horses!  The store also caters for pet loving humans.  Mom says she knows where she is going for Christmas.   If you are in the Winter Park, FL area; pay them a visit.  You will love it!

There were so many vendors outside with treats and "freebies".  Many new local products that Mom didn't knew of.  Lots of furry friends.  I met so many.  Cosmo, being her age, got a little tired but she kept traveling in style in our stroller (Pet Gear Jogger Stroller ,  Mom bought it three years ago for $85, now... just click on link for price).  It's our sturdy Pet Gear Stroller holds up to 75 pounds.  Sometimes when we go to places too crowded or we have walked too much. Me and Cosmo ride in it, and Mom is happy knowing we are safe and in comfort! (Mom is smart.)

I also met some other Corgi friends!  We said hi to each other.  I met a handsome tri named Wally! (Sigh) But Mom didn't took pictures of him!!  (Mom fails sometimes)  We "baroo and arooed" to each other and played a little bit.  Oh well! I let some of the pics tell how fun the Pet Parade was.
