I could not figure out this commercial. Why were his clothes all shredded? Why would they hit him for Skittles? So I actually had to look it up online...
OOhh, he's a Pinata! Now it seems so obvious. Sigh. And I don't know what to think about chocolate Skittles -- it seems to fall into the YooHoo drink category -- I'm uneasy about it.

A Cardy Tale
After some tough love and not-so-tough love from CG, here is finally the tale of my little Norwich companion. Colleen found the breeder and at 4 weeks we got to choose him.
I could hardly stand the excitement. Everyone knew that while I missed Miss Gibbs terribly, I was eagerly anticipating the arrival of my little Norwich. They had a shower for me at the office because I had been so quiet about expecting him.
Then we got the official notice of the time Cardiff's flight would arrive. He had to fly from Missouri to Detroit and from Detroit to Elmira. So we discovered he had been flying around for two days. The flight arrived, everyone's baggage came out, and we heard nothing about our little package. FINALLY, after about 30 minutes, we go to the ticket counter, and on the floor is the tiniest crate we have ever seen. Colleen and I both let out a groan that was a mix of relief and wonderment at the cuteosity of the tiny crate! I opened up the crate and way in the back was little (3 lbs.) Cardy. Then we realized we knew true cuteosity. He was adorable! I thought he would be traumatized from flying, but he simply looked out at me, and when I backed up from the crate, he came bounding out to explore the airport! Talk about love at first sight! I was smitten. So here are some random shots of his arrival.
He has grown quickly, gotten much more blonde (!) and has been very busy. He has come to work with me many times. Now, no one really cares if I'm at the office if I haven't brought him.
He has been invited to dinner and shown himself to be a polite yet insistent guest!
He helps with laundry.
He is a wonderful lookout.
He also loves his Elmira pals.
He LOVES the snow. I'm almost (very ALMOST) sorry the snow will be going away because he has such fun in it. We had another surprise two inches this morning simply for his frolicking pleasure!
And he wonders what I'm doing with the camera sometimes!
So that's my little guy, and I can't wait for you all to meet him in person!

Happy Easter! (Part Two!)
We've been talking about how Easter wasn't such a big deal in our house, but I found this evidence to the contrary!
Wow. Just looking at the backgrounds and details of the older photos is so trippy!

You May Think Its All About St. Patrick's Day, But You'd Be Wrong!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY OWAIN!!!!
alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178712472923741026" />
Here is a message Owain received this morning from one of his big fans (Dad!). I think it sums it up perfectly:
"As we celebrate our Irish forefathers (and foremothers), let us also celebrate the fact that eight years ago, in upper Montgomery County, there was brought forth among us a Welsh corgi without peer - adored among cats, fearless consumer of mouse poison, bane of UPS drivers, a true sweetheart of a corgi!!"
Owain is two weeks younger than Gus, one of Owain's favorite people!
Owain and more of his fan club!
Good Friends!
My intrepid traveller!
An earlier birthday (before the food allergies!)
Three friends in Baltimore!
Happy Birthday Big Guy!!!
