Stump of Fury Heading to AKC National Agility Championships!

We're hitting the road again!

 

Dally & Porter are going to be road tripping buddies once again! Meet the captains of #TeamDailyCorgi

Merinda and I will be hitting the road extra early Wednesday morning to head east to Pennsylvania for a return trip to the AKC National Agility Championships.

I also wanted to share my bio that I wrote for the announcer this year. It's a little non-traditional, but I hope it gets read at some point this week:

This is Dally and Megan's third consecutive trip to Nationals, but every year it's always a happy surprise. For a dog that some said wouldn't be an agility champion, the pair earned their PACH in 2012 and are well on their way to PACH2. Megan knows Dally isn't the fastest, but she knows Dally will try to please her, and that's all that Megan asks for. She's thankful to have such a wonderful sidekick by her side at all times. Dally is her heartdog and has earned many, many miles under her collar. This has truly been a fun ride.

Be sure to tune into the fun!! Here's hoping for some epic adventures and great memories!

Dal-entine & Vall-entine's Day!!!

The Stump Kids got to celebrate Valentine's Day (aka "Dal-entie's Day" or "Vall-entine's Day") a week early with the Bluegrass Barkery's Valentine's Day party last weekend.

Activities included making their own Valentines:

And, of course, a turn in the kissing booth with their (boy)friends, the Brews Brothers:

Stout & LaMesa

Porter, Dally & John (it's a complicated love triangle…)

The girls eve made The Daily Corgi's annual Valentine's Day post: Day Three

Puppy kisses to you this day of love!!

Dally's on The Daily Corgi!

Be sure to check out The Daily Corgi today, as Dally's been featured as the Corgi of the Day!

Dally on the Daily Corgi!

Be sure to head on over to The Daily Corgi to read Dally and Porter's preview for the AKC National Agility Championships! I'm working with Laurie to do updates during Nationals and hope to try to get some other Corgi teams featured.

Right now we're doing some last minute "Corgi Conditioning" with long walks/runs in the park after work. Tomorrow we have a show 'n go at Sandra's (after I run 13 miles, of course) and then I'll start getting things together for our trip West. Dally, Porter, Merinda, and I will be headed to Tulsa Wednesday. I'll try to do a better update this weekend, but I'll definitely be blogging, tweeting, and Instagramming from Tulsa!
