Cooper Herding - First Time with Livestock

Our local Corgi Rescue was having a herding instinct fund raiser yesterday at Purina Farms. We went and Cooper got introduced to sheep and 15 minutes in the pen. He went in with Diane, and she has him on a long line. I think he had a good time.





Here's a couple videos I took. Excuse the background noises. There were a lot of people/dogs standing behind me waiting for their turn.

Corgi Play - Cooper and the Bunny Butts

Yesterday, I took Cooper to Purina Farms for a herding instinct fund raiser for Corgi Rescue. We got there a little early, and Cooper had time to play with some Bunny Butts.

Looks like he had fun with Teddy and Coco, and I had a good visit with their mom and dad. Turns out mom, Meliss, is a fan of Sydney and Breezy's Baby Blog. As she was telling me about following this blog and the Cardigan puppies are 3 weeks and the other litter, I said "Wait! What's the name of the blog owner?" and she said "Sarah." I said, "Oh, my gosh! She's one of my best friends, and I was there when the second litter was born!" Meliss asked me which one I was, Laura or Michelle. Small world in corgidom.

Cardi Claus Has Landed in Sullivan MO

Last week Mrs. Claus sent me an email to let me know that I should have already received my Cardi Claus ornament, but I hadn't. It was lost in the mail, which does not surprise me in this town. I'm always getting the wrong mail in my box. Well, I was a little bummed because the suspense was killing me, but lo and behold, look what I got today.


Who ever got this in their mailbox was kind enough to return it to the post office and it finally made it's way to my house. (I covered up my address for the photo.)



I inspected the back and it had not been opened, so all was well. But, what was inside? I was dying to know.


Check out the beautiful ornament.


I love it! The picture is blurry and doesn't do it justice. It's awesome, and has my brindle boy sitting on Santa Paw's lap.

Now to figure out who it was from.


I had to look at the receipt twice, but I finally saw the name.

It's from Holly and the pack at Visions.

Thank you so much Holly. I couldn't have received a better ornament.

My Grandkids, The Rockers

My work does an annual Christmas with Santa for the employees' kids and grandkids. My grandkids love the performer Babaloo. Here they are rocking out. Victoria is 6, Van is 2 and Attycus is 11 1/2 months old. When you watch this, you'll see Attycus rap his dad in the head with a drumstick. haha! Too cute! video

Milk Bar and Then a Cat Nap, errr Dog Nap

It's been a busy week and I finally have time to post the pictures from last weekend. Most of you know that I went to my friend, Sarah's, last Friday to help whelp Breezy's puppies. I was afraid I wouldn't make it there in time, but Breezy gave me 10 minutes to spare, and then it was in the operating room for the C-sectioin. Our friend, Michelle, arrived in time to help out, too. I'd never witnessed a puppy birth, let alone a C-section. We did our best to help all seven pups come into the world, but three of them decided that they'd rather go right to the Rainbow Bridge. So, without further delay, here are the four girls and their momma during their first 24 hours.

Puppies: "This is some pretty good stuff."



Below - Red Girl #1 aka Amazon Puppy, aka Broom Hilda.



She has a pretty white face.

Milk bar - Upper and lower deck.



Puppies: "All this eating makes a girl tired. I think it's time for a cat nap. Can I use you as my pillow?"


Breezy: "Uh, what's this thing getting close to my face."


Breezy: "A little more pain killers, please."

Puppies: "Think we'll curl up next to our momma."


Breezy: "I guess they aren't aliens after all.

Can't wait to see them in a couple months. By then, they won't need my help pooping and peeing. LOL.

Meatloaf Cake ala Mode







Cooper enjoyed his barkday cake. I made him "leave it" at first so I could get a couple of pictures of him with it. How mean of me! Hehehe.

Good boy, Cooper!
