Tug-A-Palooza!

We have been having the rainiest, most dreary month of May. There seems to have been endless thunderstorms and our lawn is a mushy, muddy mess. The result is very little yard time for Jimmy and Wilson, shorter walks, and too much time spent cleaning feet and under-carriages. The other result is a bad case of cabin fever! Today, during a rare sunny break in the clouds, the boys got a chance to vent!



It's mine! No! It's mine!



You let go first!




Jimmy giving his best Death Ray glare.




Wilson: Maybe if I poke him in the eye, it'll make him drop it!

Wilson's view

Next came a little one-on-one time with me doing the tugging. They can hold on so tightly you can swing them in a circle. Probably not a good idea for spinal reasons!



Wilson: Does this picture make my nose look big?




Jimmy: Yuck!This thing tastes like Wilson's breath!



The next couple of shots are a tad R rated.....just sayin'!

Whenever Jimmy is engaged in a good game of tug with me, Wilson always moves in for the hump. He knows Jimmy is too greedy to release the toy, and therefore Wilson can safely move in withhout Jimmy trying to stop him. Jimmy is usually the boss, so I guess this is Wilson's moment.

Oh, the shock and horror on Jimmy's face!



Jimmy:  Maybe if I just close my eyes, it will all go away!



Happy Easter!

Sibling Reunion - Last of the Weekend Photos

I have finally come to the end of my photos from our fun weekend get-together. Littermates Nick and Sally had a chance to reestablish their bonds, and they were pretty much inseparable the whole time. They played together the entire visit. "High-energy" would definitely describe these two!



More Puppy Cuteness!

The Usual Suspects

This past weekend saw a secret gathering of some of the blogoshere's top Cardigan Corgi's........

Here we have mastermind brothers Spencer and Wilson. These serious thinkers were hard at work in the kitchen, scoping out the food platters. Don't let their calm demeanors and poker faces fool you, they were definitely up to something!



Next, we had the handsome man-about-town, Dewi, working the crowd. This fella was at the top of the Sexiest Cardi Alive list, or so Spencer thought! He couldn't keep his eyes (or his paws) off!

We also have Dewi's faithful sidekick, Jon Farleigh. His job was to collect as many of  the chew-bones as he could find. Here he's seen scoping out the toy box across the room.

Ah, yes, and then there is Naughty Nick aka Dirty Nick ...busy taking incriminating photos of the whole sordid get-together. He'll probably get a big pay-off in chew-bones just to keep everything on the down-low.

The beautiful and successful Scout is seen giving her children a talk about ignoring bad influences, as mothers so often do......

 

And finally, we have come full circle, back to the brains of the operation. It appears they may have given Jimmy some kind of drug to loosen his tongue, but by the look on Spencer's face, I would say it didn't produce the desired intel. Wilson is just lying back in his best Dogfather pose, figuring he'll take care of Jimmy later, at home, when no one's around to save him.

Whatever You Do......

....Don't look at the camera!

It looks like the photos from a highly secret Cardigan Rendezvous in Maryland this past weekend are starting to leak out. I've got some sorting and cropping to take care of before I can release more evidence!

Stay tuned.......

You're Getting Sleepy.....Very, Very Sleepy.....

Yesterday was a cold, windy and very rainy day in the the Mid-Atlantic region.....however it was still possible to be very cozy and comfy......It was a fun day spent with old and new friends surrounded by many, many Cardigans of all ages. The youngest among them spent a good bit of the time napping.

Can you almost smell the puppy breath?
