Happy energetic dogs, friendly people, great weather---this past weekend was the annual AKC Agility trials in Ferndale hosted by the Lost Coast Kennel Club. There were exhibitors (not salesmen, but dog runners) from all over the western United States, and a bit beyond, with their dogs, and their tents, and all of the paraphernalia that goes along with doing a trial. Within hours, a little community gets set up, and it becomes a world set apart from the things that usually occupy us. Really, it's like summer camp for adults and their dogs, and the lucky kids who get to come along. We corgi people tend to get acquainted right away and it was a pleasure to meet Debbie and Nancy, two sisters from Modesto, California, shown above with their corgis, who, interestingly, are also sisters. Both of them are ranchers, and Nancy (on the left) also barrel races. This is not the kind of venue for sissies. These are impressive women. But I should have guessed that, since owning a corgi is not for the faint of heart.

We had a blessed time. Lots of great people, great dogs, and it was great meeting you. What a wonderful place and very positive experience for my baby's first trial.
XO.....Nancy and Ruby
Kathrin, you are a special person and Nancy and I consider you an "official Corgi sister". We Corgi folks are a rare breed indeed, and there is something magical about those little 1/2 dogs with eyes that see into the soul, that truly does bond us together. Lovely meeting you, and hope we see you and your Corgi loves again soon!
