Here’s what else to know about Meg:
Last summer, there was an auction at a corgi breeder. No one bid on the littlest puppy so she was scheduled to be euthanized.
Meg’s family adopted her and named her Lulu.
Lulu, shown with Meg’s husband Pete, just graduated level one obedience!

And to celebrate Nevada and Minnesota becoming part of our fundraiser, here’s two pictures of Minnie!
If we hit goal—and I’ll say we’re still $1,000 away—I’ll randomly select a donor and read a poem of their choice during the stream, just three days away!

Wow. Can't say much else. The overhead corona was unbelievable. The most intense reds and greens. ❤️💚😍💃 She'll be dancing until sunrise.
I visited Franconia Sculpture Park over summer and it has been on my aurora photo bucket list ever since. That's where I went last night.
