Jolly SUPing Corgi Brothers

We have found the coolest, most fun way to be on the water...stand up paddleboarding! We wanted to be able to be on the water here in the desert, do something physical and good for us, be able to participate as a couple and of course with the family Corgis. Although Perry and I have been a number of times through the winter, we didn't want to bring Jack & Joe until the weather warmed up a bit. We were blessed with a beautiful day this past Saturday so we grabbed the boards, the doggie life jackets and the Corgis of course and spent the morning paddling. They are naturals!

Finally we were able to split them up


Hang in there Joe!

A Spring Walk

Spring time in Northern Nevada generally elicits moans and groans from most locals. As typical for spring we're forecast to have 1 - 2 inches of snow on the valley floor tomorrow morning, but this spring morning it was absolutely warm and beautiful. A perfect morning for a spring walk.

State of Bliss

I was gone for a week (in Mexico with a couple gal-friends!) and Jack MUST have missed me. Here he is cozied up between Perry and me. He is actually asleep and enjoying every single minute of it.

Kiss Me I'm Welsh

Well, we all know that these little Corgis are Welsh, but they put on their Irish green to celebrate Saint Patrick. Don't we all have a little Irish in us on this day? Recently I've been doing some family research, I've always known I am Scot-Irish, but to an 8-year old that's just short for being Scottish & Irish...wrong. The Scot-Irish are those Scottish that moved to Ireland, hmmm. I have a Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great Grandfather Neal that was born in Scotland and moved to Ireland in the early 1700's (he soon after moved to the New England area). So, on St. Patrick's Day, I'm sure this bit of Ireland counts!

Brotherly Love

Jack loves Joe. Joe loves Jack. They also fight...I don't like that part, but it's much like having children that are siblings. One day they're best friends and one day they just bug each other.
