"Christmas in July"

"A Very Corgi Christmas"

The temperatures around here in North Carolina, have been sweltering to say the least here of late! Just today the thermometer stated 101 degrees! We are melting even in the shade. I thought it was time for a little taste of Christmas and some cool refreshing weather, at least in my imagination. The Corgis are Christmas shopping in New York City...Or is it just window shopping?? LOL :) Freshly fallen snow blankets the ground. I hope you enjoy this breath of fresh air as much as I enjoyed painting it! Happy Christmas in July!

Going for Walkies!

Going for walkies!

Tia just loves going for walks. She loves to sniff out the bunnies that frequent our yard. Her new pet peeve is not being allowed to chase them when they run off through the woods. She would LOVE to be hot on their trail. I think she was a blood hound in another life! LOL

*Life Is Like a Box of Chocolate*

I created this enchanting little painting, taking inspiration from one of my all time favorite movies, 'FORREST GUMP' and that famous quote...

"Momma always said, 'life is like a box of chocolate you never know what you are gonna get.'"

Meanwhile, my little corgi Tia is adjusting to country life. She just loves to chase ants across our paved driveway...seems as if she has never seen them before. Isn't it funny how puppies notice the tiniest things!

ADOPTING TIA OUR RESCUE CORGI

ADOPT A DOG....SAVE A LIFE!
My husband and I have been searching for a corgi to adopt. We specifically wanted a rescue dog, one that really needed a loving home. We have done a lot of searching on the internet and were so shocked at the number of dogs and puppies needing loving homes. We found Tia on 1-800-saveapet.com and fell in love with her smile. She was being fostered by the "Crossroads Animal Rescue" in Charlotte, North Carolina. This was wonderful for us, since it is just a little over an hour from where we live. I knew that the minute I saw her this was the dog for our family. We went for our interview yesterday and finally got to meet Tia. It went so well, that we are fostering her for a week until the adoption is complete.
We could not have found a lovelier dog. She has a gentle spirit and a constant smile. She is always wagging her tail. She just fell in love with our children and the children have fallen in love with her. We have four kids and so Tia will have loads of love coming her way! She just sits and soaks up all of the love we give to her. I love the way her front paws point outwards like a ballerina's pose. We are so excited to add her to our family. She is a "pawfect fit."
I think if anyone is considering buying a dog, I would hands down recommend adoption. It helps a dog in need and these little dogs are just dying for some affection and love. Tia is a Corgi/daschund mix. But you can see by her pictures that she has lots of corgi in her! She is a beautiful color. I will keep you updated on Tia's life with her new forever family! Aren't we lucky?!
