Corgi Afternoon 2002

Thanks to Sharon & Norm Olsen for some additional pictures.

At the jump - and around the jump, and on the jump, and around the jump; almost anything but over! Note Gina and Rusty in the background, too - jumps are no problem for them! (5,089,284 bytes)

Jail time - they're so attentive. Wonder what has their attention? Could it be ... food? (4,276,228 bytes)
