Maris went swimming #CorgiCrew. So hot here today.

Maris had trouble staying awake last night at my mother-in-law’s 95th (!) birthday party, #CorgiCrew

Hot and muggy today in RI, but Maris stayed cool on a sand bar. The tide was way out, #CorgiCrew

Maris and Mabel Grace blew off steam after class today, #CorgiCrew. Maris was smiling through it all. 😁🥰

Scream #Corgi #CorgiCrew

I brought Maris to a new play group today, #CorgiCrew. She really hit it off with cute “Lexi” (right).

Sometimes, I just have to stop and stare, #CorgiCrew.

Look who’s in our veg garden, #CorgiCrew! Looking for a place to lay her eggs. I feel honored. #turtle

Maris wishes the #CorgiCrew a very Happy International Corgi Day! This calls for treats!

My primary care doctor is VERY dog friendly and asked me to bring Maris whenever I have an appointment, so I did! She was such a good girl, #CorgiCrew.

Maris and Riley, lettin’ er rip this morning, #CorgiCrew

Maris is back on the water, #CorgiCrew. She usually falls asleep, so she must find it relaxing.

Duncan is at his new home in MI - and is loving it!

“Maris, have you been digging in the vegetable garden?” Maris: “Moi? Never!” #CorgiCrew

Please join me on a brief tour of my garden, #CorgiCrew. The lawn is never treated with chemicals, just compost pellets. I created the gravel garden 2 years ago. The honeysuckle vine, for hummingbirds, (there’s one at the window feeder at the end!) is Blanche Sandman. #Garden

Maris was laser focused 👀 at obedience class this afternoon, #CorgiCrew. I was so proud of her. 🥰

Lady Slipper orchid, or Cypripedium, growing in our woods, #CorgiCrew. I discovered it a couple of years ago. #orchids

Maris did her pet therapy thing this morning, #CorgiCrew. The residents of the assisted living facility were so glad to see her again and some had even bought dog treats. ❤️

Always by my side, even in the dirt, #CorgiCrew. ❤️🥰

I had a lot of vegetables to plant before the rain began, #CorgiCrew. Perhaps sensing my urgency, Maris frolicked hard.🤪

Rhode Island? or the Jurassic Coast? These were the tracks Maris’s dino 🦖 paws left on the beach 😂 , #CorgiCrew

Maris came to the nursery this morning to help me choose plants, #CorgiCrew.

Maris tried to make a new friend, #CorgiCrew, but he was crabby.

Maris does this 🤪 when it’s hot, #CorgiCrew.

Maris is happy to be home, #CorgiCrew

Maris made a fren at the Two Lights Lobster Shack, #CorgiCrew. His name is Fergus and he is a native Maine corgi.

On our way home. It’s been fun, #CorgiCrew!

Maris enjoyed some Maine haddock bites at “Sea Basket” clam shack in Wiscasset, #CorgiCrew.

Morning, #CorgiCrew! Maris smells bacon!

We finished our day in our dog friendly hotel room, #CorgiCrew. The hotel is so dog friendly that this is the door hanger they gave us at check-in to let staff know there’s a dog in the room. 😊

We stopped at one of our favorite spots, #CorgiCrew: Kettle Cove!

Frens, Maris is already enjoying whole belly clams! #CorgiCrew

Maris’s road trip begins, #CorgiCrew!

Maris slept hard 😴 after yesterday’s obedience class, but she still made an effort to keep her back paws together, 🤣#CorgiCrew

Maris for attention with some RI trivia, #CorgiCrew. The food in the 2nd photo is longfin squid 🦑 aka calamari. Often served with mild peppers, it is our state’s largest fishery. Chances are, if you see calamari on a menu in the US, it was caught here. I even saw it on a menu in Quebec. #squid

Maris and Mabel Grace met Pumpkin the Shih Tzu, #CorgiCrew. Pumpkin was not sure!

Maris this morning, on the front porch. So chill #CorgiCrew

After obedience class, Maris and her BFF Mabel Grace get to blow off steam with a good play sesh. We just sit back and enjoy the vibes, #CorgiCrew

Frens! Look at the paper I wrapped my mother-in- law’s gift in! #CorgiCrew

This week’s obedience class: Maris did off- leash heeling work with Karen the trainer, whom she LOVES, #CorgiCrew

Maris flaunts the floof after a grooming this morning. #CorgiCrew

Maris deserves her own 😎 travel tote bag, #CorgiCrew

Maris likes to pop out between the car seats when we are stopped, #CorgiCrew. She doesn’t interfere with driving. She just likes to monitor 👀 front seat activity, and I can grab some floof while she’s up there. Look familiar, Taco’s person?

Time to harden off the seedlings: tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, and zucchini. They’ll stay out on the porch until planting, unless we have frost. #garden #CorgiCrew

No training today! 😁 Maris enjoys Sunday sofa time with the male human, #CorgiCrew

Maris enjoyed a break from training, #CorgiCrew. I took her to the beach. 😁

Maris earned two more obedience titles today: AKC Community Canine and AKC Urban Dog. The 3-minute down/stay was the hardest (the tests were in a busy Home Depot), but she did it, #CorgiCrew.

A nap on the sand. This happens every time Maris goes to the beach, #CorgiCrew.

Maris trots down the hall of the assisted living facility with confidence and purpose, #CorgiCrew. I love how she pauses at every door, in case the resident wants to meet her. 🥰

Maris is resting up - or blepping up 😂 - for another pet therapy visit tomorrow, #CorgiCrew.
