The Corgi Puppies Are Here!

They have finally arrived!
Merriweather delivered her first litter of puppies on December 1st.
With five boys and one girl, Mama and "Grandma" have been very busy with night time feedings, nest cleaning and all that this busy new family needs. Merri gets a farm-fresh egg breakfast with plenty of goat's cheese and milk added and just a hint of garlic (a trick taught to me by Tasha Tudor.) She is such a good mother and tends to her children as if she is an old hand at this mothering thing. Her instincts are so strong!
Daddy Mycroft, the cats and poor Cosmo are FORBIDDEN to even come near my bedroom door. She stood watch so astutely that it was all we could do to get her to go out and take the air. Yesterday she decided it would be alright to come to the barn for the morning feeding and milking. She was her old self again chasing the chickens and waiting for a taste of warm milk.
These little guys are well loved, but alas we must find excellent homes for a select few of them.
Let us know if you are interested in a Hearthside Farm Pembroke Welsh Corgi!

I just discovered your site! We lost our Corgi just over a year ago in December. (cancer)
I miss him terribly!
Do you have any puppies left?
