Does anyone have the recording of 4 corgis singing HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the Queen Mother?

Chip's Mom · 11-01-2006, 12:07 PM

Congratulations Deb - excellent costume

Wonderful Costume Deb,

You look so much like the queen - and thanks for letting me know the hair really was not yours

He also wrote one called Ace the Very Important Pig, maybe a "prequel" to Babe. A very snotty little corgi (she considers herself of royal decent) is one of the characters in it.

Great costume Deb and congratulations on the win. Was your prize a "royal holiday?"

Couldn't bring in the real dogs, but I keep "Hamish", my Douglas Cuddle Toy Corgi in my office, so he was a standin. I did have two medals on my sash with photos of Rupe and Jemma in them. (FYI - I am wearing make-up for aging purposes and that is a wig!)

Deb, you look great!! Like the real Queen! And your Hamish is cute. Too ad you couldn't bring your real corgis there!

I love all these corgi tidbits and all. The Queen can't be that bad if she loves and cares for her dogs that much. And she's really loyal to the corgi breed. All her corgis are descended from the very first corgi she had.

Her dogs are well fed and taken care of with daily exercises and many minerals and nutrition fed in their diet. Sounds great!!

That is AWESOME, Deb...what a great costume. Too bad you couldn't bring your real twosome with you. (BTW, I have a stuffie just like that one!)

Did the kids get to share your winnings (if there were any)?

Thanks for the complements folks - it was quite a hoot dressing up. I did get a lot of double takes even though it was Halloween.

My Douglas Toy Corgi Hamish, sits on my desk at the front of my cubicle. It's really funny how people will start stroking his back without even realizing they're doing it. It's a stress release.

The Queen just had her real birthday - her 80th on April 21st of this year. Her official birthday was celebrated on June 7th. Here in Canada, we celebrate it on May 24th and it is a long weekend - yay Betty, thanks for the day off!

I saw that one of the ladies on the View dressed up as the queen for halloween. She was escorted out to the show with 3 little corgis. They are only on for a few seconds, but here is the link.

Corgis are very camera friendly

turkeylegs: Thank you, that video is so cute, and I would have totally missed it if not for you.

Also, to add to the list, best-selling author Lisa Scottoline has a Pembroke.

corgimom · 11-02-2006, 09:43 PM

Deb,

I think you need to do a "virtual picture" of yourself in front of Buckingham Palace

Turkeylegs; thanks for posting that.

I saw where they were getting ready before the show, but I had to leave and never got to see the Corgis.

Jespah · 11-03-2006, 10:36 AM

I didn't win a royal trip or even tea with the real queen. I did win a new hands free phone though and it's really great!

Mmm, maybe a virtual trip to see the other Queen is in order. We'll see.

sweetlychee · 11-03-2006, 01:29 PM

For the Queen's 80th birthday, someone got an inflatable corgi during the parade/greet. Look at the inflatable corgi! It's the same size as a real one...well, almost!

Here's another one:
