About Corgi Tales

Why call it Corgi Tales?   Pembroke Corgis don’t usually have tails (if their tails are traditionally docked).  It’s a play on wording. . . but I’m also sharing some stories.   Years ago, I was in a display/fixture store.   The store was decorated in October for the upcoming holiday seasons.  A well-dressed woman walks into the store.   She was elegant in her stylish hat and beautiful knit red suit (she wore a St. John!) . . . walking with her was a short mysterious dog.   The dog had a beautiful face, amazing demeanor and an air of confidence.

I approached the woman and inquired about her well-behaved companion.     Her eyes lit up and she was more than happy to elaborate about her Pembroke Welsh Corgi and how over the years she’d had many dogs, but her Corgi was by far the most intelligent and had the most amazing qualities.     Up to that point, I had never seen or heard of a Corgi.   I quickly jotted the name of the breed down and had Corgi on my mind for the years following.

A couple of years later a beautiful tri-color corgi puppy adopted and stole our hearts.   Dockers is our ambassador to the Corgi-kind — and what an ambassador he is!    I’ll share more about my noble corgi and the two more (which makes three) corgis that have since adopted us.   So this is Corgi Tales from the past, present and new tales of our furkids.

Who’s Behind The Lens?

I’m just a regular gal married to a very supportive and loving high school sweetheart – the love of my life.   For the last decade I’ve been a programmer, Web applications developer/designer.    I’m also a photographer incorporating my images in my Web sites, Corgi Tales and TeenieCakes (a site about cooking and baking).    My Corgi furkids are a favorite subject because I’m passionate about ’em and attempt to capture their personalities through my lens from my perspective of them.

I started this site in February 2008.   The plan with the Corgi Tales site is to one day have it printed as a personal photo book/coffee table book for me and my husband to enjoy.  When I read back on posts I wrote even a year ago, the stories are new all over again.   Little details are forgotten quickly.   What better way to journal some of our experiences and silly this-and-that’s about our kids than a blog.

Every few months, I’ll be archiving/removing some of the images and entries.

The 52 Weeks of Corgis Photography Project
52 Weeks of Corgis is a personal photography project I started this year.   It’s never too late to start a personal project like this.   Please join me if you think this is something you’d enjoy doing and sharing on the blogosphere.   Read more about the 52 Weeks of Corgis Photography Project.

Flashback Moments
I’m calling this “Flashback Fridays“.    On some Fridays, I’m digging through my collection of archived photos I’ve taken over the years and sharing images of our furkids from years past.    These images may be of our Corgi Boys, our first furkids who were not Corgis, or images taken recently that didn’t get posted but were memorable too.  Many of these photos will be from my pre-digital photography days.    Read more about the Corgi Tales Flashbacks Moments and Photography.

I hope to put a smile on your face and that you’ll enjoy visiting Corgi Tales and my Corgi kids.   Please stay connected by following on Facebook and introduce yourself!

Side Note:  Thank you to the many guests on Corgi Tales that have shared your stories and have contacted me about how much the photography and the Corgi-kids have been a part of your day and put a smile on your face.  I do appreciate the feedback and am so glad that Corgi Tales has been a positive experience.
