This is Teddy with an update I hope helps you smile. Our friends, including you all, continue to deliver the most amazing amount of comfort to Mom and me. And at the perfect times. Like now, as we begin our first holiday weekend without my big brother Bertie who loved getting his Easter basket and supervising our annual corgi egg hunt.

This beautiful slate plaque just arrived from one of our wonderful friends (aka Bertie's "birthday twin") and her cool cats who I like to video chat with. Mom let me pick where place the plaque in Bertie's honor. I chose our backyard herb and rose garden that Bertie loved to hang out by. ❤🐾

This is Teddy. 3 things happened this morning that I hope will help you smile. Today is Mom's birthday which we'd planned to ignore because we're still very sad about Bertie recently getting his angel wings. Mom had canceled all of her plans except to take me to the vet to get my pawicure. While waiting for me, Mom was given these. Inside the little cedar box are Bertie’s ashes, and that’s a plaster impression of his paw. So we got to bring my big brother “home.” We also received this beautiful vase of flowers and a card signed by everyone there which was very comforting.

Next, we went to Chick-fil-A. I ordered a biscuit in Bertie's honor which Mom and I shared. Then we went home and opened a loaf of bread Mom had gotten from the bakery yesterday. Inside she found this end piece—shaped like the head of a corgi. Now, as all of you in Corgi Nation know, we corgis and bread go paw-in-paw. We are somewhat shaped like a loaf 🍞, and we never stop begging for bits of it to eat. Despite her tears, Mom couldn’t help but smile as she said to me, “Heaven help us, your brother is now sending messages to cheer us up through the bread.” 🙂❤

We're still sad and Mom says that the word “happy” definitely doesn’t apply to this birthday, but at least these things have helped a bit.

This is Bertie's mom, along with Teddy. Thank you all for such a wonderful outpouring of love this last week. Hearing how much Bertie meant to so many people around the world is helping us during this very difficult time. As such, I hope you don't mind my sharing what I think is the story behind these roses. This morning, after another night of not sleeping all that well, I asked God for a sign that Bertie was ok in Heaven which I know was stupid. It’s Heaven, right? Then Teddy and I went out in the backyard and I saw these roses which somehow had budded and bloomed overnight. Most are from Harry’s memorial garden (Harry was our corgi who loved to sniff roses). And they’re in rainbow colors.

It’s as if Harry (who always ran the show with total corgi bossiness) had sent this message from his Heavenly cloud--“Bertie crossed the rainbow bridge just fine. Murphy, Jackson, Jasper, and I have him. We’re all together and he’s doing a-ok.” ❤

As Teddy and I put one paw in front of the other to walk this path together, we're pondering ways to honor Bertie's legacy of sending love, happiness, and joy out into the world. We know that would make sweet Bertie happy. Once we've figured out, we'll be back here to share it with you all. Until then, we hope you'll send love and joy out into the world because when you do, it comes back to you three-fold. Just like it's doing for us now because of our dear Bertie and all of you.

This is Bertie's mom with sad news to share. Today, my sweet Bertie got his angel wings due to kidney failure, which came virtually out of nowhere, despite having done regular health checks every year. The vet said that this can happen with older dogs no matter how well they are cared for. It took him fast which, at least, minimized his suffering. For 14 years, 2 and a half months, Bertie was the life of the party who brought joy to everyone he met but most of all to me.

In some ways, I’m not surprised he chose to head to Heaven on St. Patrick’s Day. He probably figured there was a big party going on up there with lots of angels holding cameras, and as we know, Bertie never met a camera he didn’t like. His joy was contagious which is why had so many of you around the world as friends. Although Teddy and l are beyond sad right now, I can’t help but think about last Sunday afternoon because it’s as if Bertie was determined to have one more jolly good time with his corgi and people friends at his beloved gathering place, The British Emporium. And he sure did. I was Bertie's "plus one" through all of his adventures and never had so much fun. As I write this now with a heart that's broken into a million pieces, I am grateful for every minute, knowing that this is the price we pup parents pay for such unconditional love. I hope you'll keep little Teddy in your thoughts and prayers now because his heart is broken, too, for the big brother he's never been away from for more than a few hours. Thank you all for loving Bertie so much, too.

Drum roll please...Here's the 2026 St. Paddy's Corgi Costume Parade at The British Emporium. There were a record 42 corgis (& there may have been more but we pups were so busy herding people that the counters kind of lost track), plus some "honorary corgis for a day" pups. That's me leading the parade in my royal carriage with my royal crown trying to fall off. 🙈 https://www.instagram.com/reels/DV7MRv9jEEk/

Here's the special way our Sunday afternoon at The British Emporium began. All of us at the St. Paddy's British Motor Heritage Show and Corgi Costume Parade were serenaded by this magnificent bagpiper! What a perfect way to get 42 corgis (a record number!) ready to paw-ty down and parade in herding union.

Here's a sneak peek at this week's PT session where I remained consistent with 15 continuous minutes on the underwater treadmill (still at a slow speed to prevent any disc inflammation). Plus I added more floor exercises, including rail work. For the first time since my injury during Christmas week, I was able to lift my legs above rails that were 2 1/2 inches high (remember, my short corgi legs are only a little taller than that). At home, Mom and Teddy continue to walk with me every day for 15 minutes through the house to keep my joints moving, and then Teddy and I do our sit/squat/stand exercises together, too.
