Re: OMG - it's weather!

Yep..that's the one.  If you've seen the movie "The Queen", those little dogs that follow her around (tan and white with micro-mini legs), that's the kind of Corgi I have.  He is so adorable.

  Hi Jesse, my little daughter got a corgi for a wedding present, her name 
is Tao, and she is a short tailed corgi. Is that the same kind as 
yours? Rich in Z-5 where we just got over an inch of rain, complete 
with the show that NE is famous for, high winds, lightning, and hail.

So one of these gourds will be decorated in her memory. She died about the same time Sugar (Pam's cat) died. I just loved that dog. *sighhhhhh* So, I adopted a 3 year old male Welsh (Pembroke) Corgi. He is awesome. I think from now on, that is the only breed of dog I will ever have.
