No-knees

BEEZE-NUTS! Today was our last day of Fly Ball training for the summer due to me picking up a Sunday shift at the museum. It wasn't our BEST day but I still managed to capture some video clips to share with MY CORGI . COM! hahaha...Fly ball is FUN.COM!

Ok I am done.com - with the.com...

Fly ball did strap our relationship to a tighter fitting.
I love having that obligated time with my shortie and her non exsistant knees.
Nothing can break our bond! Or maybe me going to live in Australia for a… Continue

It’s official!
We signed up for the Prereq Obedience/Good Canine Citizenship class.

We will have some friends in the class with us that are quite as ill mannered as we can be, so our embarrassment level will be low.

Friends joining us?

Mattie = sheltie/border collie mix (WIRED!)
Murphy = australia Shep (Anxiety attacks!)
Rico = chihuahua (Attitude!)
And then of course Mackenzie = pembroke corgi (DRAMA QU… Continue
