In memory of Maggie

the hardest goodbye

Earlier today we  had to say a very hard goodbye to CH/Fin CH Yardican Diamond Drop (maggie). 

This is a very difficult time right now :-( Losing my best friend and companion.

Paw prints Left by you - 

You no longer greet me,

As I walk through the door.

You're not there to make me smile,

To make me laugh anymore.

Life seems quiet without you,

You were far more than a pet.

You were a family member, a friend

. . . a loving soul I'll never forget.

It will take time to heal -

For the silence to go away.

I still listen for you,

And miss you every day.

You were such a great companion,

Constant, loyal and true.

My heart will always wear,

the pawprints left by you.

Happy Birthday Maggie

Cardigan Bay

I played golf at Porthmadog this week. Annika and Ditto had a great time showing off to many Welsh people who had never seen a Cardigan corgi and often didn't know of their existence. Annika did a book signing and Ditto sang! We then had a pilgrimage to Cardigan Bay and they loved it. There is obviously a tradition to kiss the sand - like kissing the Blarney Stone. Both had an amazing time, paddled, chased the tennis ball and paddled in the Bay. Here are some pictures of their trip. The members of Cardigan Golf Club have invited us there next year; I will do a golf demonstration, Annika will sign more books and Ditto will just show off and charm the people! Here are some pictures with the Welsh mountains in the background.
