I wanted to suggest to you to look into the cardigan welsh corgis as opposed to the pembrokes. They aren't as fancy and cute as the pems but they are great little companions and excellent farm dogs. It's what they were intended to do. The cardi people as a whole are so much more down to earth and friendly than other dog show people. I can give you names of reputable breeders in your area if you're interested and they will welcome you with open arms.<br /><br />I am a 50 something empty nester as well and have a couple of cardis I show and have started dabbling in obedience and agility. It has done wonders for eliminating my occasional "pity parties". Hope you don't mind the suggestion, but when I read your blog I just had to try!! <br /><br />-Carol--Carol-https://www.blogger.com/profile/05954496155020271422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645454613980668198.post-82936881633137649362009-08-09T11:11:45.913-05:002009-08-09T11:11:45.913-05:00Looks like I need to back-track a little.

Like you said, though, you've got a great life and your farm and all it's critters and produce are doing well and content. I'm in awe of that, and admire you, Gail. You've done good, girlfriend!<br /><br />~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645454613980668198.post-30438740507171289882009-08-09T10:15:06.315-05:002009-08-09T10:15:06.315-05:00Lot's of subtext here. Let it go. Now if you...Lot's of subtext here. Let it go. Now if you're meaning to have a gold old fashioned pity party, know the golden rule: you are not allowed to cry alone.<br /><br />There are many things you can do down at that farm that are extraordinary-that is to say, out of the ordinary. Go have a look-see at what this city girl created: http://www.fiberfarm.com/<br /><br />Her community sponsored agricultural farm sells her animal fiber as it's sheared. Indeed, some of her kid fibers are sold before they're born. Amazing and clever people out there.<br /><br />Throw on some lipstick to go with those freshly shaved legs and have a look at the martha's vineyard fiber farm.Rudeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17889298704039071473noreply@blogger.com
