smarty pants with spongey pockets

Corgis, as with any other herding breed, are very smart dogs – like….. extra strength super absorbent orange sponges. =) Bailey was learning commands on the first day he came home. I remember teaching him “sit” at 8 weeks. Now, nearly 27 months old (a little over 2 years), he knows a whole list of tricks (he’d know even more if I spent more time teaching him). Not that he always listens to me, but I know he knows them. So here’s the grand list of tricks.

Commands he knows: Sit, Down, Wait, Stay, Roll Over, Come, Bang Bang (play dead), Crawl, Weave, Stand, Treat on the nose/paws, tunnel, shake/paw, up (on the hind legs), circle/spin, front (stand in front of me facing me), heel, stop, touch, and …. ?

Does anyone have any new tricks suggestions for us? And is anyone else excited that baseball season has started?? we are!

SF Giants: Dog Days 2009

In 2009, we went to the San Francisco dog days game with Bailey's buddy Catch and his human. This time, it was a night game, and thank goodnesssssss it was nice and cool! The giants won, and Bailey even got to catch up with his friend he went with last year, Bella. However, I did remember that Bailey pooped twice on the warning track during the pre-game parade. How embarassing!

I made this years outfit from scratch using black fabric and some orange fabric ribbon and some fabric paint. :) Catch and Bailey really bonded on this trip! they will be forever friends (and they're only born two weeks apart! bbear is the older one)

SF Giants: Dog Days of Summer 2008

At this point, I stopped counting the weeks. Too old for that now. We switched over to months. A little under over 7 months now (august 2008), bailey just made the cut (6 months) to attend the annual Dog Days of Summer baseball game put on by the San Francisco Giants. Not only do you get to bring your dog to the game, they provide water and goodies as well. ANDDDD…. You get to parade around the warning track before the game starts!!! How awesome is that?!?! This was our first year attending, and if it weren’t for Bailey’s friend Bella the corgi – we probably wouldn’t have went. I REMEMBER IT BEING SOOOO HOT THAT DAY. It was fun, and I believe the Giants won. Thank goodness it was a night game in 2009.




The shirt bailey is wearing was made from a free shirt i got at fanfest that I cut up and sewed back together.
