Can you BELIEVE it!?! It is January again, and time for Mango Minster, the premier Dog Blog Dog Show, hosted by none other than our HUGE friend, Mango the Mastiff! He and his mom put on the BEST Dog show each year, and put in TONS of work on making it fun for everyone. Even if you don’t enter, there are great adventures, contests and games featured by Mango’s furiends, and he has a TON of them!!!
A couple of years ago, OC even got to be one of the judges, and Grammy provided one of the First Place Prizes… a portrait of the winner, which was Clive, a Golden Doodle Helper Dog to his autistic friend.
We JUST found out about this year’s Mango Minster last night when Grammy FINALLY felt well enough to get online and let us visit some of our old friends. One of the classes is “Too Darn Cute!” and when my Dad found out about that, he said that I HAD to enter! That’s what he’s called me from the time I was born… EVERY DAY… SEVERAL times a DAY!!!
Dad says I am cute when I’m sleeping with my toy squirrel,
And cute when I’m out doing “Squirrel Patrol” for REAL squirrels.
He says I’m cute from the front (I was sneezing).
and cute from the back (I was bowing).
He says both sides of my profile are cute, too!
He laughs and says I’m cute when I’m dirty
and cute when I’m clean…
He snickers and says I’m cute when I’m ANGRY (wouldn’t YOU be!)
And cute when I’m angelic…
He even said I was cute when I was FAT (I was in the family way)
and cute when I am thin!
He says I’m especially cute when I do my tricks… Here I am with my "Hands up..."
And here are a few more on this video.
Do YOU think I’m cute enough to win? Are you “SQUEEEEEing” yet?
Here are the horses of Corgi Country. We've had Cory since he was a little over 3 years old, and Tuffy is my son's AQHA Palomino gelding. He is trained to do both western and dressage work, though he is no longer shown.

Proverbs – A Bible Study and A Country Grammy’s Walk With God blogs:
Grammy has 6 kids and 16 grandkids. She worked for 18 years with severely handicapped children, but is retired now, and writes a blog to share God’s wisdom as written by the Bible in Proverbs, as well as a blog that shares the things that God is showing her. She draws in pastels and graphite, and has her own a storefront at: http://www.cafepress.com/GrammysCorgiCountry.
She and Papa have 5 acres in a VERY rural setting. The closest town is a couple of miles away and our nearest neighbor is about a quarter of a mile away on one side with no homes on the other three sides for MANY miles. We are surrounded by BLM land which makes it really nice and quiet. We get to listen to, and watch, many kinds of wild critters.
