In honour of the Royal Wedding

The wedding finally arrived.  In honour of the Royal Wedding, what is more British than Pembroke Welsh Corgis.  Here are several photos I found on the web of Corgis dressed for the occasion.  Check out the special Corgi Cake that was made in honour of the Wedding (Freeview HD).

 The Freeview HD corgis celebrate with a Guinness world record cake (world's largest dog cake).  Note the large dog's necklace (Prince and Princess photos). 

Queen for a day

Opps, the real Queen and her princess pups

Ah, another royal Corgi

Time to blow your coat

Spring.  Time for the dogs to blow their coats.  Especially my Siberian Husky, Serenity.  It is a shame because in the Fall and Winter, Serenity has the most beautiful thick and soft hair.  All those layers of thick undercoat.  This explains why she can lay in the snow and sleep on the couch on the back porch during the winter.  However, as the weather warms up, the shedding begins.  It almost looks like winter wonderland in my house.  Dog hair everywhere.  Falling out.  I have sheets on furniture right now to keep the hair-tastrophy from spreading everywhere.  She is not allowed in the bedroom because of all the loose hair.  We have been brushing her several times a day.  Does she like it?  Of course not.  Serenity does not like being brushed.  She will sit for a while and unless we keep praising her, she runs out the dog door.  The picture to the left is an example of one day's worth of hair.  Only a few more days to go.

Knick Knack Paddy Whack


I swear, this is going to be Emma's new theme song.  I have never seen a dog so obsessed with food as she is...she is going to explode one of these days.

Emma and her siblings

I came across this photo of Emma and her siblings from a few years ago. Unfortunately, Jake (Schipperke) and Sean (Fluffy Corgi) have passed away.  We had a full house there for a while.

Cheese Please

We have a routine at the house that every morning Emma gets a piece of cheese before I leave for work. After a night of guarding the home front, and making sure no rhinos have gotten into the house, she gets her reward. However, if you knew Emma, food is the first and foremost thing on her mind. Love that Emma.
