It was my 2nd Birthday!

Hey there! Murphy here! Mom finally helped me get photos up from my 2nd birthday last week. She apologizes as she had things to do on the 'puter and couldn't share. I told her if I don't get to tell my tale I would not herd for her at the Cardigan Nationals...I think she believed me as I finally got to log on tonight. Good thing she doesn't know I would do anything to herd.

Anyways, I had a great birthday. I got a special dinner and I ate slow for once. It took me almost a minute to eat! Usually I wolf my food down, but due to attacking fries...I had to slow down and be on guard. To understand the fry bit, you need to see the photos from the intimate party held in my honor.

I got to have a birthday cake. Ha! Porter only got cupcakes....I got a real cake! And I even had ice cream at my party. Mom found some beef flavored ice cream treats with colored topping. It was really good! Porter didn't have ice cream at his party. (Yeah, I can be a jealous brother...but it was not fair he got to post his birthday info right away and I had to wait a week. No my lip is not hangin' out so far for a bird to land on it.)

We got to go to PetSmart to pick out presents! Mom was not as prepared as she wanted to be, but she got me some great toys. I was kind of distracted by people and smells in the store. I even did a birthday boy pee on a store display...Mom caught me though...she had good eyes. She got me a bottle monkey (crinkle bottle stuffed up a monkey's butt), a long squeaky snake and squeaky ball with a rope attached for good tossin'.

You will have to see the photos, but the dang monkey attacked me. I tried to get the snake to attack the monkey but they both turned on me! On my birthday! Can you believe it? I showed that snake a thing or two. The monkey felt my wrath! Can't go too far into details...have to see the pictures...not for the squeamish.

I had a really good night and felt pretty satisfied with what my Mom did for me. I didn't think I would get such treatment, but I found out just how much my Mom loves me. I know she has a special attachment to Porter, but she told me I have wormed my way into her heart. But she warned me...if I cause her to pull out any more hairs...she would still love me...can you believe that?!?

You can see all the fun at my birthday album.

High Paw,
Murphy

Psst...I have to report that Porter and I really took on the monkey. His head has been opened up...Mom says he might be saved by the toy ER...but I'm hoping he is gone for good...stupid attack monkeys.

It's My 4th Birthday!

Porter here!

Sorry we have been away. Mom has been kind of hogging the computer or has been too sick to help get us set up to post. I told her that I needed to share the details of my birthday. I turned four today. As usual, Mom went all out for my special day.

She made carrot cake cupcakes. She was hoping it would be simpler for her to do, but I heard her say "Never again! It is a regular cake next time!" I don't care as long as I get my special dinner and dessert. She definitely did her best and it turned out pretty dang good...for me!

Murphy and I got a special meal and then go some of cupcakes--a big one and a mini one. Then she brought out my presents. She apologized to me as the bed she got me is PINK! But it has blue paw prints on it. I don't think she looked at a picture of the pattern--just saw it said blue paw prints. She gave it to me earlier this week and don't tell her---Murphy and I both have taken turns sleeping in it. If she catches us in the act, I think she will be getting one for Murphy's birthday too. Hopefully it won't be pink as well.

One present she got me was these weird smelling chewy things. She told me they were Elk antlers. She heard some good things from others about them. Murphy and I think they smell funny. Murphy tried rolling on one of them. After a little bit, we have been doing some chewing on them. They are not too bad. I am reserving judgment yet. Murphy loves them or so it seems as he keeps chewing on one of them.

I will check out the other presents as I know the family will be trying to get me to play with them. Mom says she will put the video footage together soon. I wouldn't hold my breath for it to be done this week. She has lots on her to do list and will make some friends mad if she doesn't get these things done. However, she did get some photos edited and uploaded. She says I can share them. Please check out my birthday photos here.

Well I have to go. Got some stuff to chew on and others to check over. I feel pretty content and may just go cuddle up with Mom. She says she feels exhausted. I hope she doesn't get sick again. It is a tough job being a Corgi Nurse.

Have a great night,
Porter--party pooped out

Corgi Valentines

This month's featured ImageKind art is THE CORGI'S VALENTINES DAY PARTY by Valerie Brock.

It's that time of year when love is in the air. It wouldn't be right not to have a Corgi Valentine. If Murphy or I knew little Emma, she would not be crying as we would share our Valentines with her.

Murphy was very happy to see some Cardigan Welsh Corgi Valentine designs offered at CafePress. Here is one design on a lovely keepsake box. It is a great gift to give and maybe surprise them with something in the box.

Cardigan Welsh Corgi Valentine

Or get this lovely Tote Bag for yourself to let others know your special Valentine is your Cardigan Welsh Corgi. I think Murphy plans on getting one for Mom to announce that he is her Valentine. I might have to get her something to tell the world that I'm her true Valentine.

I know I am my Mom's Corgi Cupid. So I think this design says it all and it is offered on a rectangle magnet (something my Mom likes to collect.) I think it would make a nice, simple Valentine gift to the Corgi Lover in your life.

I hope we got you started on your way to find a Corgi Valentine gift for your loved ones. If we find more items to share, we will post them here. You never know what we might turn up for great Welsh Corgi gift ideas.

Thanks for stopping to sniff around,
Porter
