The Corgi Fountain of Youth: Drink, Nap, and Be Lazy...



Soon Teggie will be drinking from the fountain! For a mom who values the natural child philosophy, our furkid sure is a material girl!

Honestly, I think our first Corgi might have invented this Dog-It Drinking Fountain years ago, when she pawed the water out of her dish and flipped it over every time I filled it... then drank out of my decorative fountain unless I stashed it on the bathroom counter. Now our little herder will have the time of her life licking ever-fresh, oxygen-rich, filtered water. Sure beats lapping out of the toilet bowl!

Check out this doggie drinking fountain, and the cute video of lots of Labs a-lapping. Our baby is small, so she will have to lick up the spillage, I guess. Anyway, it will be fun to watch, and we have extended family with chocolate Labs in case it turns out to be a lame idea for a dwarf dog.

We have finally framed my two new favorite Evie originals, "Royal Nap" and "Bean Bag Blob" by Evie Anderson, who paints her Corgi girls, Chloe and Gwenevere. I think these pieces exemplify why I want a dog's life. If I believed in reincarnation, I'd be working on building enough good karma to come back as a Corgi!

I love her art and have followed it, and bid on it for years. Yours are nice ones to have!
Pupster is adorable!

Evie is amazing. Bought my first piece in 2005, bid all the time but have to let most of them go, which is good for her! Also, there are several prints of Cathy Santarsiero's (The Christmas Corgi blog, of course) I found on etsy and must have, especially the Agility series--adorable!

What a clever drinking fountain! Evie's paintings are adorable. Thanks for stopping by my blog! I look forward to catching up with yours. Give those pups a kiss on the nose for me. Warmly, Cat ^..^ (and thanks for your lovely comments...you are making me blush :) !)

Absolutely, Cathy, your work makes me grin! Just bought "Mad Scientists" from you on etsy, for my son, our own mad scientist. Too cute. :D

Love the Evie pictures - thanks for sharing! Cathy, you have created such fun pictures yourself - they are Corgi All the Way - and the truth can be seen in each and every one of them! They make me laugh as much as my own corgis do!
