Lucy being adorable, don't let the look fool you.
Caleb, doing what he loves best, stalking
Clem, queen of the hill on her throne, the pumphouse.
As you can see, Iris's all time favorite game is keep away.
Hannah and Lucy actually trying to catch Iris and her toy. It's so much fun watching the kids play. Well, it has been around a year since the remarkable Caleb has graced our lives. Caleb is a dog that seems to be overly judged by his reputation, but he easily one of the best dogs I have had the pleasure of having in my life. He is such a mix of traits, playful, silly, then mischievous and ornery, but always so eager to please. He has always been a genuine good dog.
From his expressions and intelligence to his solid build and beautiful coloring, I figured when he entered our lives he would be a wonderful stud for Clem. As often happen with plans, things change. We had Caleb's hips xrayed and those pictures came back not so good. As the vet went over the photos, Caleb sensed my disappointment and I could tell from how he reacted he felt I was disappointed in him. That brought me around and I spend the rest of that night letting him know how wonderful he is.
Mandy came up and confirmed that his hips we not acceptable for breeding. Then as we had breakfest, my mind wandering, she made the statement I half heard "you can always find him a good home." and my reaction sort of stunned.. "huh? he has a good home." Then Mandy sort of laughing at me, she knew Caleb would never leave our home and was playing with me.
At any rate, we had Caleb fixed, I swear that affected me more than him. But, as the saying goes, "know thyself" If we did not have him fixed, well, I might have ended up tempting fate.
Mandy warned me long ago that the Corgis are like potato chips, well, she is right. I am so lucky to have a home that has the room to support our growning family. Soon little Lucy-Girl will arrive and I felt that Caleb needs to be showcased a bit more. Clem and Iris we are going to let mature a little before showing. We happen to live fairly close to Canada so I plan to see whether we can get both gals's a Canadian championship as they dont see the half-mask and coloring as such a flaw.
Lucy, well, from the pictures has many of Clem's features, I think showing her, I will be her largest handicap. So, if you happen to see me walking too slow moving her in the ring, or something else, do say something, your not going to hurt my feelings by giving me advise.
Okay, well, this was supposed to be Caleb's spotlight, I got off track. Without further ado, I bring you Caleb! 
First, a huge thank you to all for the wonderful hospitality! Seeing and meeting everyone in Bandon was great!
This a small sampling of the pictures we took of the kids playing on the beach. From how they acted, this is their version of utopia. I have to admit, watching their antics supplied Jo and I with some great laughs. Especially when they find themselves suddenly standing in the ocean, the look on Calebs face was priceless. It is so much fun to watch them play. One problem we did find with pictures on the beach, most show a wonderful view of their hind quarters, as they seem to be constantly running.
Caleb Surpised by the tide.
Daring Caleb...
Hannah!
Clem!
