"Life isn't long enough to do all you could accomplish. And what a privilege even to be alive. In spite of all the pollutions and horrors, how beautiful this world is.
Supposing you only saw the stars once every year. Think what you would think. The wonder of it!"--Tasha Tudor

A "Happy Birthday Indy" Christmas Corgi Give-Away!


Today is my Indy's 11th Birthday. A sweeter Corgi you will never find. He even answers to 'Sweetie' when we call him. Here he is with his birthday cupcake (he had two!) and his peanut butter birthday treats. He even got a squishy new furry toy, which will promptly be de-squeaker-fied, I'm sure. Besides warming my heart with love every day, Indy is also my little bed warmer. He is entirely snuggly. He told me that for his birthday, even though he can't warm your bed on these cold Winter nights, he wanted to send some warm Corgi (or hedgie) cuteness to one of our lovely blog readers.
I suggested to him that a sweatshirt may be just the thing!


To win Indy's warm birthday give-away, just leave a comment for him on this post from now through the drawing on Monday, Jan 5th, 2009. No strings attached. You don't need to post the giveaway on your blog (unless you want to!), you don't need to stand on one foot and pat your head while rubbing your tummy...not a thing. Whether you are a new reader or an old friend, all are welcome. The winner of this giveaway (chosen by random draw) will receive one sweatshirt in one of the designs below or another of his or her choosing. (Don't be shy, Indy would never bite.)


"Dressed To Kilt" Corgi Sweatshirt


"Fashionista Hedgie" Hedgehog Sweatshirt




"Walk Like An Egyptian" Corgi Sweatshirt



"Potting Shed" Corgi Sweatshirt




"Start Your Engines" Corgi Sweatshirt



  • Winner will choose their sweatshirt size. They range from 'small' to '2x.' If you would prefer a tee shirt or different style shirt or design in my CafePress Shop, you may have one instead.

  • Winner will be chosen by random draw on Monday, January 5th, 2009, late evening EST and announced here.

  • Please email me at christmascorgi@aol.com if you are the lucky winner!

Good luck, tell your friends, and thanks for helping Indy celebrate his birthday! -CS ^..^

Happy Birthday Indy! You are absolutely adorable and your Mom is lucky to have such a wonderful bed warmer.

One of these days I hope to have a Corgi of my own. But till then my own furkids and I wish you many more wonderful birthdays. Enjoy your yummy looking and well deserved cake.

Anna M said...

Happy Birthday to Indy! That actually reminds me to pop into Cafe Press soon as the husband needs some new t-shirts and we have a few of yours that he has worn out!!!

He sounds like such a snuggly boy and that's why I really adore Corgi kids, all the hugs and fun in one small package. With fur. Oy! The fur! The Shedding! Still, it's worth it and the Dyson is happy *lol*

Indy - you are adorable!! I hope your birthday was lots of fun - looks like you had a great party! My girl, Belle, chews the squeakers out of everything too! She just chewed the cover off of her squeaky tennis ball. She's silly like that!

Happy Birthday Indy! Furry red corgi-boy bedwarmers are the BEST! From Cadfael the THANKSGIVING corgi boy in Kentucky and his mom, Ellen.

Happy Birthday, Indy. I wish you wonderful time. I was recommended here by Blueberry Cottage and I am very pleased by the lovely blog I've found. A Happy New Year!

I wouldn't mind a try at the sweatshirt if possible :) My Scottish roots hanker a bit for the kilted doggie.

Larry McCormick said...

A Very Happy Birthday, Dear Indy, and many happy returns of the day!

If our household is so lucky as to "win" the birthday tee shirt it will certainly make Princess Fiona jealous.

I join my fellow Corgi addicts in sending New Year greetings to everyone (especially to you, Indy!).

Michelle ^..^ said...

Okay, I have to ask.Do you pose your corgi's for the paintings?? Ha! Ha! I know the answer to that one - (I have 3 corgi's of my own) they never stand still!

Happy Birthday and eat lots of cake :) Love Michelle ^..^

p.s. thank you for your whimsical paintings that capture the true essence of the corgi spirit.

Indy, sweetie, hope your 11th birthday was the most memorable yet. Your cupcakes and peanut butter treats sounded yummy and your party looked like it was a hoot! Mom had a party for me and invited all my friends but she made us wear party hats for photos...bummer! Glad you didn't have to suffer that indignation. My Mom gave your Mom's new calendars for gifts to her PWC friends...you should have heard the squeals, I thought they had new squeaky toys! Now if we could only convince our Moms that we have 7 birthdays a year so we could get more presents and treats!
Love,
Mazie ^..^ and her Mom Karen

Indy, my Macaulay is my snuggler, too, even here in Florida. He thinks it's the very best thing in the world to do. His mom, Annie, has decided she likes snuggling now that Macaulay has shown her how great it is. She used to disdain it and only lay at our feet!! Happy New Year and many desqueaking adventures!!

What a sweet looking dog. I hope he enjoyed his birthday cake. It looks yummy. My Tiffany and Jem would probably have a blast playing with Indy.

Great to "revisit" Christmas! (Just found your blog.) There's something about Corgis in the snow that's so RIGHT. I've loved your artwork. Hard to believe one might prefer a hedgie over a Corgi, but your Fashion Hedgie is pretty darned cute!
