I asked my son what he was doing this weekend, and he said he’d be attending Corgi races on Sunday. What? This is a thing? I looked into it, and it’s a yearly fundraiser for the Humane Society where he lives. They also have Weiner Dog and All Breed Rescue Run categories. Free admission, $2 corn dogs and $2 beer, and bets can be placed on the dogs. This sounds like such a fun way to raise money for the furry friends who need it at shelters. He said it was a good time, but his dogs didn’t come in. Guess there’s no early retirement for him.
Hubby and I are late to the party with this show, but we blew through Ted Lasso on Apple TV+ last week and got caught up on the couple of episodes that dropped in season 2. We’re Jason Sudeikis fans, and when I read that the show involved sports I knew hubby might enjoy it. Amusing storyline (he’s an American football coach hired to coach a professional soccer team in England), the writing is outstanding, and the actors are perfectly cast. Give it a try if you have a chance.
Signups for Bad Moon Rising started last Friday and half the spots are already full. If you’re an author of horror, thrillers, or paranormal/supernatural and would like free promotion for your book in October, click HERE for more info.

Corgi races, what fun. Our first dog, my son’s dog actually, was a Corgi. So cute.

That fundraiser sounds great.
The Ted Lasso commercials make me think the show is hilarious, but I just canceled my AppleTV subscription. Jason Sudeikis is funny in everything I’ve seen him in, but I think I’ll always associate him with Horrible Bosses.

I love the Horrible Bosses movies and We’re the Millers. He also writes a lot of the episodes – I wasn’t aware he was also a writer. Does a fantastic job. We split the AppleTV subscription with the oldest son. We’ve watched a few things on it, so I guess we’re keeping it. For now.

I’ve been eyeing Ted Lasso. I’ll have to give it a go. And Corgi races?- it’s such a playful breed that I could totally imagine them stopping mid race just to start playing with each other. Lol.

Exactly – playtime! So adorable. It’s so hard to get hubby to watch anything, but with Ted Lasso featuring sports plus an actor he likes, I gave it a shot. Problem is, now I have nothing on the backburner with him because we plowed through those so fast.

Don’t they? Such fun, happy smiles. And I’m completely against dog fights also, Sophie. How anyone could do that to an animal is beyond my comprehension.

My brother and his wife have had Corgis for as long as I can imagine. The thought of Corgis running on their short, stubby legs in a race is comical but also heartwarming. I bet it’s a blast to watch!
