Happy Birthday, Chaseman

October 17, 2011

Today our Chase (and the rest of the Freedom litter) is four years old.

It is so hard to imagine that the cute puppy in this photo is now the grown dog herding sheep in the post below.  Chase has accomplished so much, but his greatest gift is making people smile.  He fancies himself the anointed ambassador from the Cardigan Corgi world to every human that walks the earth.  I love this dog’s level of joy, his desire to please, his sense of humor.  Thank you Carolyn Cannon, Mandy Katasse, and Jenifer Kramer for breeding him, and thank you Carolyn and Tom for letting him come to my house.  A team of people have helped him along the way — they deserve recognition:  Bonnie Kellner, Sherri Hurst and Lauren McIlwraith, Shelley Camm, Susan Shields and Cheryl Kienast.  Chase is the reason people have Cardis, he is the dog I love.  I also thank the people who have his kids and are doing so much with them.

Happy birthday, my man!

    Molly went for a nice campground walk this morning and now we are heading to the coast so she can run on the beach.

    Happy birthday to the best “kids” ever.
