WETHREE CORGIS

2010-05-23T22:00:00.004-04:00

Thought I would update the site with neighborhood stuff. Down around the corner from me we have 2 alpacas who have been pregnant since fall. Well, the first one, Bell is her name gave birth to a cute little girl who they have named Clover, here, take a look..... She is 4 weeks old...

and this is her mom and the next mom to be.....

And this is a little guy that was watching me walk up my driveway when I got back....

Ya gotta love Spring and Summer... 8-]

2010-03-03T22:46:00.002-05:00

So, it has been quite a while since I last posted anything. It's strange how quickly you can just stop blogging yet pick it right back up without any effort. I suppose it is just one of the natural wonders of blogging life.
Well, nothing really exciting has happened over the past several months. My job went P/T and am presently working with my union to keep a 5 day work week. That's stressful. I interviewed today for another position in the building. Not expecting a 2nd callback but, ya never know.
This past Saturday, Feb. 27th, me and the WeThrees were entered in a NADAC trial in North Smithfield RI. What a wonderful time we had. Baby Echo made her agility debut and performed like a real champ. What a good little girl. Am still planning on having her have one litter of pups but that won't be until June. We are going to get our OFA hip check next Monday and the rest of her clearances will follow. I want to make sure that this goes well and we produce the best little corgis that will be great little athletes as well as the best companions. Will update on that as we get info.
As soon as I get the video of Echo running I will post it.

Patiently waiting for Spring to arrive. Need to see the grass grow and the leaves on the trees, but as I said to the WeThrees, we have survived yet another winter that actually really wasn't that bad this year.
Well at that note I think I will sign off and wait for pics to post.

2009-06-21T17:54:00.010-04:00

So I feel like I am living in Seattle with all the rain we have been having and seeing as it is another damp Sunday afternoon I figured I would update with some new pics. First on the list is some pics of my orchids. Some of the folks at work wanted to see so here they be:

Second, felt like a good day to do some updated portraits of the WeThrees: Ain't they sweet !

And last but by no means least, my neighbors youngest, Michaela, played in the AVLL youth softball finals this past week. Unfortunately they did not make the playoffs but it was a nail biter to the end. Way to go SUNBIRDS !!!

2009-06-14T21:29:00.003-04:00

Well it has been quite the week for the WeThree corgis. Paddi ran his first excellent runs at the Mayflower Corgi show in Boxboro at the Sheraton. He did a wonderful job and really did a great job. If it hadn't been for a few handler errors, hhmm wonder who that could have been, anyway he would have qualified. Regardless it was a great time. Met some really nice folks, Bridget and Juanita. Bridget was running her boy Remington and Juanita was there just to watch. Its amazing how rain can bring folks closer together. Anyway, then came baby Echo's first showing. I gotta toot a horn for her, she carried herself wonderfully in the ring. She did a nice self stacking that was right up there with the best. She got a few really nice compliments from other breeders so I am a very proud mom. Will try to have pics later.

2009-05-27T11:56:00.008-04:00

So here it lunch time at the office, Yay..... went to my neighbors youngest daughter, Michaela's softball game last evening before I had to come back here for Zoning hearings and thought I would share some snaps of the game.
She is developing quite the pitching arm.

And has a good eye and can get on base pretty consistently...

I just love watching and cheering them on... Love the game.

2009-05-18T08:11:00.003-04:00

Got to work a tad early today, Hhhmmph, can't figure out why there wasn't any traffice but good for me !!! Anyway, spent Saturday at the USDAA NEAT trial in Hampton Falls New Hampshire. My boy ran pretty good and at a good speed too. Was a pretty good day all in all.
Doesn't he look graceful as he sails over the jumps! :-] That's my boy......

2009-04-27T10:16:00.004-04:00

So me and the WeThrees were at some agility trials this weekend and I thought I would show you all how Little Sydney deals with all the stress.

Also thought I would show you my little dwarf weeping cherry tree. (I still can't figure out why it is so sad ? :-] )

2009-04-24T08:58:00.004-04:00

So I do believe Spring is finally here, especially since it is gonna be about 85 degrees on Saturday and Sunday of this week. We will be in Wrentham this weekend to do the AKC and NADAC trials. Anyway, baby Echo wanted to thank Auntie Christie for her new tug toy that I brought home for her last nite. She just kept dragging it around with her last nite so she wanted me to send this thank you out to her.

My boy Paddi's nose was a little out of joint cuz all he had to play with was this stupid blue sheep.......

2009-04-17T21:11:00.000-04:00

Yippeeeee! A long weekend is upon us......

2009-04-08T20:54:00.002-04:00

This is the little tyke that I gave to my neighbors girls the other day. His name is Scoots cuz boy he can really scoot. Their old cat went to that kitty place in heaven before Christmas so this has been in the works for a while. He is very tiny but a big ball of purrrrrrrr. Please welcome Scoots to Brianna and Michaela's home. I sure will have fun cat sitting from time to time. :-]

2009-04-08T20:13:00.002-04:00

Okay, I still have a lonely swollen gland that just won't seem to go away. I am sooooooo done with the virus thing.

2009-04-04T21:15:00.002-04:00

Okay, so still not feeling well. Sore throat, still. I have had just about enough of the virus thing. At least it was a terrible windy day. Good to stay indoors. Hopefully I will get better as the weather does. Think I'll play a video game for a while.

2009-04-02T10:24:00.002-04:00

Okay, so now I am the slacker.... I have had some virus thing for the past 5 days and it has NOT been pretty. Anyway, after visiting the clinic and being told that all I had was a nasty virus I am almost back but still not quite. I'll tell ya, I have been from a fever 0f 100.4 to swollen glands about the size of little golf balls... Not a comfortable thing.... Anyway, on the mend. And my Wethrees took very good care of me. There was not a moment that they weren't surrounding me. Kinda cool their pack leader was not feeling well and they needed to make sure I recovered.... Gotta love it... :-]

spring fling

2009-03-21T20:36:00.011-04:00

I'm gonna combine a bunch of items in this post. The other day while I was sitting in the yard while the pups ran around I happened to notice that some little tulips were up! Yippee !Second it was such a great day that I took the wethrees to play frisbee and romp in the sun.

And last but not least, some of you may know of my stories of a red tailed hawk that frequents my yard quite often. I usually panic when it arrives cuz either my little yorkie, Mindy is out and about and she only weighs 4 1/2 pounds and I worry about little Sydney so I try and keep a sharp eye on days like today. Well, as usual the hawk arrived and hung out in this tree assessing the yard and things going on. It sat in this tree for about an hour not showing any signs of leaving. I think it was waiting for diner !!!

I can't figure out if this is a youngster or those are its winter feathers.

2009-03-16T19:50:00.001-04:00

Okay, so I decided to take Tuesday off from work. Hope it is a nice day to spend with the wethrees. Hopefully I will have some fun pics to post. Stay tuned...

2009-03-15T18:55:00.008-04:00

Here it is Sunday. My, my how the weekends do fly when the weather is beautiful. Almost makes ya want to call in sick tomorrow. Hhmmm, should we ?? Anyway, it has been a wonderful weekend with lots of things to do. The best was being able to take the we threes to the golf course that is down the street, around the corner from me and let the wild things run with the wind. They had a ball and are very tired this evening.
Last evening, my neighbors oldest daughter was in the school musical, "Horton hears a whoo" so they wanted me to rag along to see her perform sooooooo, I brought the camera. Here's a few shots. I must admit, these kids did a fantastic job!

Bird girls. My neighbors daughter is second from the left.

It was very entertaining to see these kids do a wonderful job. Congrats to all of them and a special one to Brianna G. And a BIG birthday wish to her younger sister Michaela G.

Spring hopeful

2009-03-12T18:11:00.008-04:00

Okay, so when I returned home after work today and the dogs were running around feeling dead grass between their toes once again, I decided to go in search of any visible signs of Spring and this is what I found:
Pansies from last year in my planter on
my deck. Daffodils in my front yard

Lillies and Oooo look, the weave poles are up !

2009-03-11T09:20:00.001-04:00

It's raining !! Hurray !!! At least it's not white and I don't need to move it with a shovel !!!! Yippeee !!!!

2009-03-09T08:46:00.000-04:00

Ughhhhh....... sigh..... It's snowing again....... heavy sigh......

2009-03-08T08:18:00.008-04:00

So my Great niece had her 2nd birthday yesterday so I thougt I would share some of her moments. She is such a cutie !!!

This is Avery. She was checkin out the bounty of presents that had appeared.

Mom needed to speed up the card reading stuff and her big sister Samantha was ready to lend a hand.

Lets get down to tearing into this stuff !!

And then, the eating of the cake.... I think she was a very happy little girl dressed in her princess dress and all and I bet she was also a very tired small one by bedtime.... Happy B'day Avery !!!

2009-03-06T15:13:00.006-05:00

Sitting here listening to the sound of the melting that is happening today, YAY, I thought I would share some pics of the gang playing in the snow that just happened this past weekend. Figured it would turn to mud and that will be a whole set of other photos !! So here ya go, enjoy. My guys are so cute when their roughing it up in the deep snow. I swear they think they are Huskies..

Ain't they cute....

2009-03-04T12:03:00.003-05:00

oooooohhhhh, Antie Em !!!

2009-03-02T19:57:00.005-05:00

Well here we are, I have just spent the better part of the day removing snow from the yard and driveway. I almost thought of not doing the paths for the kids today but when we went outside first thing this morning they were in shock ! I'll tell ya, it was the shortest outside visit we have had. They returned to the deck and just wanted in... So did I....... I keep hoping that if I close my eyes real tight that I will wake up and see grass and green things...... Aahhh not..... Whatever...
I guess the positive side to this was I got to take the day off from work.. Looking forward to sunny and 75.....

So here is a little picture oof what we see when we walk.

2009-02-28T18:36:00.003-05:00

Okay, I was gonna wait and put this on tomorrow but I just couldn't help myself. We, all of us, spent the afternoon out in the yard rqaking and picking up branches and twigs that have fallen all winter. Figured I would get some of the clean-up done before the onslaught of snow comes in a day or two. Anyway, the dogs were being good, playing tag and chasing and investigating the smells that have been gone for a long time and feeling grass between their toes again. So, I thought I would take them all for a walk so I gave a yell and young miss Echo came bounding around the corner of the house and look at her !!!! She had either been digging or rolling in the mud with her sister Sydney. The three of them were covered but Echo was the absolute worst. She just looked soooooo proud of her new cloaking device. Anyway, thats it, everyone had a hosen to rinse and a towel dry and in we came. They all seem very satisfied of their day out of doors . Hopefully whatever snow we get will be short lived...

2009-02-27T22:54:00.009-05:00

Okay, so as we sit and await yet another snow storm, and most of my friends know how much I dislike the snow scene, I came across some photos that I need to hold onto until this weather thing goes away soooooooo, I thought I would share . Take a look.......

Okay, so I really, really need to be sitting on the dock in Wells, Maine dangling my feet in the water listening to the sound of the ocean... UUgghh, it just seems like it is so far away....

I guess I will just have to dream on....... and I will patiently wait for these little guys to come and visit me and my yard.

2009-02-26T17:34:00.007-05:00

My friend Louise tagged me for this month's front door back door meme so, here's how we are looking in Massachusetts these days.
So, here ya go!

This is my backyard and when the sun is out and the temperatures warm it is a really nice place to just sit and enjoy the birds and the quiet. All my boys and girls love running around . Baby Echo always can find something to investigate.

This is my front yard and it is terribly muddy at this time of year. Eeeoooowwww !
At this point I am just waiting for a greener time of year...

So, hope others will share.
Join in if you like - the guidelines are simple: This is a photography meme.
1. Step out your front door and take a picture.
2. Step out your back door and take a picture.
3. Put them on your blog, along with the rules.
4. If there are things in the photos that you particularly like or dislike, you can point them out, or just explain what we are seeing. Maybe changes over the seasons or some junk in your neighbor's yard that drives you nuts.
5. Tag as many or few people as you like - preferably at least one though.6. Do it again next month if you like

2009-02-25T21:00:00.000-05:00

We just got home from puppy agility class with baby Echo. She seems to enjoy what she is learning . Anyway, must go iron for work tomorrow and do some pick up around the house. We seem to have taken every toy we have out and brought them into the living room yet we are snoozing at this point. Everyone is so content it would be a shame to awaken them with the sound of the vacuum, ahh, we will wait and do that tomorrow... Oooh, see how easy it is to re-direct and justify putting off the cleaning.... Think I shall settle for the nite and relax. Surely there must be something on cable tonite. Lets have a look... Will make sure everyone is all set for a while and then put my feet up... Later

2009-02-24T23:38:00.000-05:00

Notice how innocent and peaceful they look, especially baby Echo. Read the story below. She spent a very long day digesting the news........

2009-02-24T23:21:00.000-05:00

Ugh. Just got home from work. 11:20 p.m. Really don't like spending all day at work and then having to go back for another 3 to 4 hours for hearings. Oh well, it pays the bills.

On a lighter note, today when I arrived home from work, I was greeted at the door by none other than baby Echo. Hhmm, she is supposed to be in her crate. Don't know how she did it but she managed to unlock the side door to her crate and decided to take every piece of newspaper or tissues and shred them. I know I am not supposed to laugh but she just looked so candid in what she had done and it could have been so much worse I figured I would choose my battles wisely.. Anyway, think I will call it a day...

The WETHREE corgis

2009-02-23T19:48:00.000-05:00

Sydney & Paddi

Baby Echo

2009-02-23T19:38:00.000-05:00

These are my WETHREE corgis. In the middle is my oldest boy Paddington, (Paddi). He is my best buddy and always shadows me everywhere I go. He is always at my feet while watching TV or working on my laptop. To his left is my first little girl, Sydney, (squidward). She is my baby girl. She is my knee warmer when we go to bed. She is the queen of the kingdom . To his right is my new little girl, Baby Echo. When I think back and how there was a time when I really wasn't sure if I should get another, those questions were answered within the first 10 seconds of holding her. She is definitely a mama's girl and I wouldnt have it any other way.

2009-02-23T19:34:00.000-05:00

My first introduction will be none other than Miss Mindy. She was my mom's Yorkie and is 16 years old but when the day is warm and the sun is shining, she still has a bit of romping left in her.

2009-02-23T19:09:00.000-05:00

Sitting at work today I kept thinking of what I would say or talk about once I finished setting this up. I suppose it really doesn't matter as long as there are things to be shared. Like the other day when it first started raining, it smelled like the first Spring rain. Now granted it is still early and this will probably smack me in the butt, however, for that first couple of seconds, it made me drift off to a warmer time. I am also gonna try to get some pictures downloaded of the family cuz they are the cutest. Although my friend Louises baby girl, Kindle is really cute too.

So as I sit here in my living room tapping away, the boys and girls and comfortably nested snoozing after their romp and dinner. I forgot to include little Miss Mindy in my profile. She was my mom's dog until she passed last year and I took little Mindy into my herd. She is a 16 year old Yorkshire Terrier and is quite the little queen. When she enters the room, my other 3 part the way so she can go to and from the kitchen. It is nice seeing the respect they give the old girl. Hopefully I can snag a picture or 2 of her to post as well as the others.

Well, I could probably go on and on the babble but I will go for now and wait patiently for my good friend Louise to critique. Always looking for input. So as my neighbors youngest always says to me "Later".
