| Yes, that's you, Chewie! |
This is all really fun stuff! Here is Chewie happily shaking her little nubby backside for you all!
(Sidenote: Next to Mr. Chicken... and Mr. Rope Toy... and Mr. Weird Rabbit Squid Toy... and Mr. Disney-Eyed Lion, Chewie loves, loves, LOVES Mr. Laser Point! Laser Point demands Chewie's total attention which she gives, 150%. Laser Point has the incredible power to make Chewie forget about food! (omigosh @_@))
The award comes with a serious responsibility to provide seven facts about Chewie Chat. This is really hard since I basically blog everything. Digging deep into my brain...
1) Originally I wanted to name Chewie OX (Hugs and Kisses) and JG wanted to name her Io (a greek river goddess). We could not agree on a name until one day, with the help of a scruffy looking dog banner ad, we chose Chewie. (Ok, I think I stated this before in an earlier post but you all probably forgot by now :D )
2) JG just realized that a stray dog which his family took care of when he was young was a corgi! I on the other hand had a close friend when growing up who had a corgi named Willy.
3) I had one other dog in my life which was a chihuahua. He became my brother's soccer team's mascot. He arrived at the games in my coat pocket. Looking back, I'm not sure if he struck fear into the opposing teams. Along with a corgi, Jacob had a snapping turtle, an african gray parrot, cockatiels, a mixed breed dog, a black lab, "some herding dog" and a miniature sheltie.
4) Chewie's a singleton. :) All the goodness and health got absorbed into one super puppy! Although she was the only one in the litter, she was surrounded by other corgis and well socialized.
6) Reserved for that moment when I remember a fact while walking around outside, then to forget again once I'm at the computer.
Corgi photo break!

-------------------
Along with these seven facts, I am to award 15 other stylish blogs. Unfortunately, I do not follow 15 (as of now). I'm not sure I even follow 10. What I would like to do is provide a list of the blogs I do follow and hope you will check them out as well. :) In no particular order:
Fat Sister's Guide to Life
I love her style, her flair for life, her eye for color and seriously... her cooking is to die for. I've died countless amount of times already.
Corgi Addict
24/7 corgis. Oh. My. Gosh. It's like jumping into and wading through a huge corgi pile. The amount of enthusiasm (and obsession) she has for corgis is breathtaking.
The Daily Corgi
Laurie is a super corgi-activist who provides daily highlights of our little furry friends! She concentrates on the humanity (canine-ity?) aspect to bring to light corgi issues alongside heartwarming stories. Her tireless efforts are greatly appreciated within the corgi world.
MyCorgi.com
This isn't a blog but the ultimate corgi community site. You can find everything you want to know about corgis and more. The creator of the site, Sam, is very pro-active and extremely helpful with any questions you have. Really. He's in Canada yet had specific NYC answers!!
The Chronicles of Cardigan
Cardigans!! The very adorable and whimsical Jon Farleigh and Dewi! (Pst, Jon's a fluffy!) Great photos and day-to-day stories of the life of and with these two adorables. Also, Elizabeth's (the owner) writing style cracks me up.
The Briese Moon
Luna is a beautiful welsh corgi pup (a few days younger than Chewie) with an extremely sweet disposition. The blog focuses on Luna and Krystle's (the owner) journey together and Luna's training to be a therapy dog. She is very well on her way!
Walking Ein
I learn so much from this blog. Ein and his owner, John, are Manhattanites who concentrates on the well-being and healthier lifestyles for dogs. John's concern for the planet also carries over into his other blog, Green Hat Studios.
My Dog is Fun-Sized
Angela is a verse artist who plies her trade in 2-D, 3-D and corgi cuteness. Creativity oozes out of every one of her projects.
The Ein and Brian Chronicles
AJ and her two corgis, Ein and Brian are back from a short break. Her photographs are superb and they really highlight the lives of the duo.
A Corgi is My Co-Pilot
Shameless self-plug here. My tumblr for corgi art. :)
Wow, this is a long post. If you made it to this point, time to take a break! Enjoy and thank you!
That duck costume is just awesome! Where did you get it?
ReplyDeleteChewie, you make us SWOON! (dub-DUB dub-DUB dub-DUB) <3
ReplyDeleteJon Farleigh & Dewi
Hi Briese!
ReplyDeleteI bought the costume at a pet store here in NY called Zoomies. I went back to exchange it for a larger size (I picked a M, but turns out she needs a L!!!) but she had run out of costumes! :( There is another store in NYC however which seems to have them (at least on their website). I am aiming to stop by this weekend to check them out. The place is called Trixie and Peanut (http://www.trixieandpeanut.com/)--lots of cute stuff on site. :)
lol, Jon Farleigh and Dewi! <3
ReplyDeleteThat duck costume is amazing. And so fantastically adorable I was expecting you to say it was imported from Japan! Can I ask what size are you moving up to? I see the shark attack hoodie I so badly want for my little pup!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteHi CA!
ReplyDeleteEeee, I know, those costumes are so cute!
I am going to Trixie and Peanut today to see if they have a Large. She may even need an Extra-Large to ensure growth. In anycase, I will let you guys know what size ends up fitting best for this stage. And what other items I end up splurging on. :D
Ok, checked out the store. They do have a couple of costumes but if you would like to order from there, I would probably call or email first to see if they have it in stock. They did not have a couple of items that I was looking for which were on their site. (Like the <3 tank) I saw the shark attack hoodie out on the floor but it was an XS. Not sure what they have in the backroom.
ReplyDeleteChewie is currently 6mos., about 15" from base of neck to nub and I would want to guess about 14lbs. She fits a LARGE ducky costume fine although she will probably outgrow it in a few months. The brand of the costume is DOGO. (http://www.dogodesign.com) The site has a list of stores which carry their brand within the US.
I did purchase some other cute shirts for her--LARGE fits best for her size right now. She will probably need an XL later when she goes through another growth spurt.
I hope this sizing thing helps! There are these other sites too but I have never ordered from them.

Congrats on making it on the Daily Puppy! Chewie looks super cute in her duck costume and her little nub waggins!
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks for the plug! :)
Thanks! Of course, thank YOU for sharing the two with the world. :D
