It's my Birthday!

It's Izzie here... I'm so excited it's my birthday! I'm especially excited because my family is all together to celebrate as well... when Moxie turned 1 year old, mum was out of the country doing "research" or something... hope it was research on food, that would be forgivable... but anyway... she's here and so is pap and Moxie!




It's my first birthday!

Play time!

Hi all, Moxie here to share some photos of my sister (Juno - the freckle faced corgi), our new niece, and myself... the weather was so beautiful this weekend, we fraped around outside a bit... Izzie was there, but didn't happen to get in any of the pictures... elusive girl she can be...

My good side...

Aw, come on, no more pictures...

Fursister Juno and the puppy's bum....

The more respectable half of the puppy... forgive her raggednesses, she's had a bout with puppy mange that took some of the fur on her face... little bruiser that she is...

Playing is serious work...

Signature tongue shot...

There's something under there...

No really there is something under there... its moving...

I think I can get it!

My new shirt!

Mama took me shopping today and bought me a shirt, it's a birthday present, but she gave it to me early, since I had to try it on and all to make sure it fits! It does!

Here I am lounging in my new digs...

Showing it off...

It says:
"Wanna go outside?
Let's go outside.
Can we go outside?
We should go outside.
Have you been outside?"

I'm sexy.

Swimming!

By popular demand... we present... the Corgi Girls Swim Team synchronized swimming routine.


Okie, perhaps a little less synchronized and a little more chaos....

Otter Izzie

Rafts are fun!

How does my bikini look?

Swimming makes me sleepy...


My sleep number is 37.


SHAKE! Must... get... water... off!

Happy Luau!

An Autobiography...

OK, so in true tagging fashion, we will pass this onto:
Wally! The coolest corgador we know!
Momo! In honor of her 1st anniversary of blogging!

Super Moxie!

So Mum thinks its great because we corgis like to lay like this:


She calls it the super corgi, because it looks like we're flying like super man... we personally just think its comfy way to lay! Any you other pups lay like that?

More posts soon, we've had some requests for some swimming pics... but they would be from this summer and pre-PDF/PFD/PDA days... we're getting mum on digging a few of those pics up for ya'll...

Hugs and Kisses,
the Girls

Bouys anyone?

Hello Friends!

So Papa got us these PDFs... or do they call them PDAs..... hmmmm.... maybe it was PFDs....

Well, supposedly they will make us float... we've become quite the swimming hounds... but we usually swim from a raft, out and about, then back to the raft. I guess Pap thinks we might actually enjoy swimming more and for longer periods of time if it wasn't as hard just to stay afloat. He's probably on to something there... smart guy that he is.... but we haven't had a chance to use them! We can't wait.... but if we don't get to use them soon I think Papa is going to toss us in the bathtub with them on! BOL...

What an Honor!

What a great honor we received from our cute pug pal Oscar!




We don't really have an acceptance speech prepared... but we'd like to thank everyone! We love you all!!!

Ok, we're also going to pass on the joy... to Lacy , The 4xBs, and Noah! We visit these pup's blogs to check out the day's to-do all the time... but we certainly LOVE everypup's blog we read!

Lots of corgi kisses all around friends!
