And Now It's Jimmy's Turn!!

For the last couple of posts it seems I've been bragging on Wilson, what with him earning an award and getting his picture in a 2016 calendar. Well now it is time for a Jimmy brag! (Am I coming across as a pompous arse? Hopefully not!) The AKC  (American Kennel Club) runs a report at mid-year to see the rankings of dogs competing in agility. In our case, it is the Preferred ranking. Their listing is sorted by breed, and shows the top five dogs based on a points formula. And guess what?! Jimmy made it onto the list! Woohoo! We made it in just under the wire at # 5! What we lack in double-q consistency, Jimmy makes up by being so speedy, so he achieved enough points to make the list.

I know this is tiny. Click to biggify!

Congratulations to the four Cardis and their owners who came in ahead of us! The full list showing all the breeds can be seen HERE.

Here's Jimmy in all his proud glory:

Have a great weekend, Everyone!

100 Countries!

I am well aware that my blog fits in a small niche, one of dog topics and photos, and is even further narrowed down by being about just my Cardigan Welsh Corgis. And when it comes to dog blogs, mine is decidedly not a trend setter! But it makes me happy and that's the point, right? But, nichey or not, it is still fun to think of all the people from around the world that have stopped by to check out my blog, whether by a misleading search engine result or deliberate hit. Well, for the longest time the little Visitors widget at the very bottom of my screen has been sitting at 99 countries having visited my blog. I look at it every couple of days and there it sits....99. Imagine my surprise (and delight) when today hit the nice round number of 100! Yay!

I don't usually dig any deeper than the above little flag summary, but today I figured it was worth looking at some details.....(Click to enlarge the fine print....)

There is even a complete list of all 100 countries but I don't need to post that much detail! The internet sure has made the world a much smaller place! It was a lot of fun reviewing the information. If you want to add this neat little widget to your blog, you can get it here. The basic one like mine is free.

So, for those of you viewing this blog post....
Where in the world are you from?
