I tried to get some pictures of Agatha in the colorful fall leaves (as pitiful as they are in Texas) for her 10 month birthday, but this was the only shot where she was distracted enough to look up from her acorn hunting.
She’s still very small and seems to have stalled out at around 15 or 16 pounds.  Do they tend to grow in spurts?  I keep watching for a growth spurt but haven’t seen one in a while.
She’s still as goofy and fun as ever.

Kipling is doing very well in school. The other dog owners are really impressed with how obedient and eager to work (for reward) the Cardigan corgis are. He is probably the only Cardi in Slovenia so we intend to set a good example. 
Here he is employing what he learnt from school - keeping his focus on me - in order to get that piece of mandarin.  He is getting so good at this focus trick that you can throw his fave toy over his head or crumble newspaper right beside him and he will not look away. The funny part is he can stare at you on command but his ears will move all over the place to pick up sound.

Bad photo but the only one we could get of her looking at the camera, so when I think of all those super shots Joanna got of the puppies, I stand in awe Joanna- I stand in awe….Daphne also got the “proceeeeedure” done last week and is a little lady now. She wants you all to know she’s doing great and she sends her love and looks forward to more photos!

Daphne got a new house this fall and she likes it a lot. Nice big yard and lots of doggies all around her. She is a country gal now.

I got ambitious and asked Daphne to show me her topline. After 20 minutes and me tripping over her leash (twice) here’s what we have.

It is so great to hear how everyone is doing! We were at the vets this week too and Kipling is 22lbs. Silly little fella started limping this week all of a sudden. We hope he will get better soon after some *rawwffffff-lemme-out* crate rest.
