Thanks to Sylvia Berni for allowing us all to descend on her home! We had upwards of 15 or more Corgis and their associated people-friends in attendance on this overcast, but dry, Saturday afternoon in Kirkland.
Corgis & People, People & Corgis.
Did someone say TREATS?
Perhaps MORE TREATS?
I'm sure there are TREATS around here somewhere!
We had our own little "agility" competition. Paddington & Rusty, came in #1 &
#2, both showing "the power of The Fluff!". Pictured here is Betsy with Ladybug.
Part of the "agility" portion was to put on a couple of items of clothing while
doing the course. This is Missy with socks & a hat, looking very undisturbed by
it all.
We also enjoyed a "musical chairs" like game of musical Corgis.
There was also a "hotdog race", which involved tossing a hotdog, and having your
dog retrieve it without eating it first. Here we see a demonstration of what
really happened to all of the hotdogs. Every dog was happy to bring it
back ... inside their stomach. These are Corgi's afterall.
After all that work, a good romp & ball chase was required.

A sunny afternoon, and an impromptu gathering of Corgi owners we've met on-line. (Thanks Kris for starting this!)
The deck was the place to be for most of the afternoon:
Why? 'cause that's where the goodies were!
'round and 'round they went:
Did someone say goodies?
Corgi's & legs, Corgi's & legs...
One of the afternoon's stars was Rusty:
Vera, on the other hand, wasn't too sure about all these strange invaders:

We moved out to the back on the lawn for a while and while there I got the following:
Your hosts, the Three Amigos (or more
commonly, the Three Stooges) tended to hang out with each other. (1,929,220
