It's not just about the dog itself, but the relationship you have with it!

ForPaws Helps Corgis and Corgi Mixes


Dedicated to Bart, who had the Most Beautiful Tail

"It's very simple. Dogs and cats and other talented animals have tails; their tails, with their thousands of flourishes, provide them with a wonderfully complex language of arabesques, not only for what they think and feel and suffer, but for every mood and vibration in their feeling tone. We have no tails, and since the more lively among us need some form of expression, we make ourselves paintbrushes and pianos and violins..."

More Party at the Ranch


Another wonderful day in Napa! Many thanks to Alden and her parents for allowing us to create another Corgi Invasion so soon after the last one just a few weeks ago!

Moe took 76 photos. A few of them are below and you can see them all if you click here

Alden - you're a dynamite hostess - thanks loads for a wonderful time!

Here's the newest member of the pack, and little Star of the Day! Watson was soooo cute playing with all the big dogs, but it was a lot of action for this little guy. At a point, he crashed under this chair, sleeping soundly.

This is one sweet puppy! Welcome Home Watson!

Pretty Denali

Sweet Duncan

LtoR: Cappy, Malibu, Fig, Elbee, Sage, Denali, Watson

As they had at the previous get-together, the three littermates, Fig, Cappy & Sage, played ALL DAY long!

Sage & Fig

Three boys, all vying for position. Sometimes it got pretty heated, but never more than posturing. They all seem to honor one another when it comes down to it. Carolyn observed that they are still retaining their relative positions, learned when they were very young and tussled with one another in their pen.


Pink and Blue merles - cool suits!

Here's the view off the deck, a little later in the evening. The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco is visible on the left horizon, located about 50 miles away!

By the end of the day, Watson was downright exhausted! Thank goodness his mom scooped him up for a rest (and because she was probably afraid he might end up going home with someone else if she didn't watch him closely!) A fair concern with this cute boy!

Being Thankful - it's all Relative!

Positively Autumnal!


People say we don't have seasons here in California. And, compared to most places, we really don't. But today, looking out my front window...



Looks like it might be close to Thanksgiving!

Ying & Yang


Denali has never been so happy with a canine companion as she is with Sage. For his part, he idolizes her; follows her everywhere and emulates her behaviors, which isn't always such a good thing!

They hang out together constantly throughout the day, but until now, I've never seen them make a dog pile together. As I prepared to go down the stairs this morning, here's what I saw in the living room below.







Pals for Life!

CorgiAid, Inc. Auction - DON'T MISS IT!


The annual CorgiAid, Inc. auction is now open and will run through November 29!

Be sure to check out all of the great offerings and place your bid! This is a wonderful way to do stress-free Christmas shopping for those corgi-loving friends! And don't forget the CorgiAid online store. Great for Christmas, and all year around!

Think about it: As you're shopping, you're saving a dog's life!

Always a great gift, the 2010 CorgiAid Calendar features ForPaws Corgi Rescue dogs, Ozzy (April) and Pandy (December). Their foster mom submitted these photos. Thanks Denise!

ForPaws Corgi Rescue wishes to thank CorgiAid, Inc. for all of the wonderful dogs they've sponsored for us this year. Without the help of CorgiAid, independent rescuers like ForPaws wouldn't be able to save nearly as many corgis and corgi mixes as we do!

By supporting CorgiAid, you are making a BIG difference! You are literally giving dogs that otherwise wouldn't have one, a chance at life!

Many More Great Birthday Pics! (Thanks Denise!)


Here are some additional photos from the California "Trees" Birthday Celebration last weekend. These were taken by Denise Sponsler. She has a good eye and a nice camera, with a feature that allows you to take a series of shots in quick succession.

As a result, she has some wonderful action shots that string together like a slow-motion picture. Below is one segment of a series in which she captured the Three Brothers, Captain, Fig, and Sage, playing together.

But there are a LOT MORE great pictures!
You can see them all on Trenton's Photo Gallery.
