Hi,
Your dog is 3 days older than mine. I am going through the training and housebreaking thing right now. We had a good day yesterday as she rang the little bell my the back door on her own. Every time I take her out I use her paw to ring the bell. I hope she is "getting it". Good luck with the Gibster.

Hi Kelly and Gibson! Your puppy is soooooooooooo adorable! I enjoyed looking at your pictures. Our Jillie is 10 mths old and she is precious! Corgis are the best.

Gibson is a cutie allright! He was brave to challenge the Pumpkin too. Piper was so interested in the movie that she wanted to climb on the table to get a closer look at it! But no puppies on tables. Arf!

I love the close up picture of his "nub"! So cute : )
I have a feeling that my Midgee looked a lot like Gibson when he was a puppy.
Aren't Corgi puppies the cutest?!

Hi Kelly, I had hoped we could schedule another day to go, but my boyfriend says it's getting too cold...especially for a lil' pup like Gibson! Do you want to try to meet at a dog park in or near Chicago instead? The one in Hinsdale does have limited hours, but it's so pretty and it's fun to play with all the unleashed dogs. Do you and Gibson have other favorites that are more schedule-friendly? :)

Cindy & Jeremy & Caden too!

Thanks for the add Kelly. Gibson is a cutie. Let us know when he loses his first tooth, so we have a heads up for Caden. I feel like it's going to happen soon, because housetraining was going so well, no accidents in 15 days, and then all of a sudden he had one. Our breeder said that is usually the first indication, and the endless chewing, but I can't tell any difference. Caden chews all the time.

Cindy & Jeremy & Caden too!

Caden lost his first tooth! Don't know when but we checked his mouth and there was one missing. Just found out from the breeder that one of his litter mates lost one too. I'm so surprised it happened this soon. Keep an eye out on Gibson.

Awww!!! Gibson looks SO cute in his pumpkin costume!!! The pictures of him as a little pup sleeping underneath a sofa are really funny too. You can tell from his sparkling eyes that he's such a happy corgi! :)

Thanks for the comment. Her tail was just itty bitty when I got her with just a tiny tip of black. Now it is getting longer and it turning really black. That is the only black on her!

thanks for commenting on kaley corgi agilitys blog---- she is a bundle full but loads of fun! cool you finally got your dream pup-- a corgi kid!

sandra

yes,kc, aka kaley corgi does it out of the blue too, like when i am in the store ---i guess she is bored1...so i let her a lil bit and all i need to say is .....leave it----- and she stops!

sometimes when i walk her, if she sees grass, she gets the frap mood and runs circles round me...so i have to be quick to change hands and let her run around me or trust to let her frap free

I wish I could! I need to get a new camera...our camera stopped working and all I have now is my camera on my phone...which isn't so great...

Might I suggest "Corgi Butts Drive Me Nuts" for a tshirt on your new site? My husband and I throw that one around as a joke every day

Hooray! You can count me in for one!

Hey!
If Gibson ever needs someone to run with let me know! Lucy loves to run and play but we haven't encountered any four legged friends at the dog park in months! We usually go to the Batavia Bark Park off of Main but any wide open place is fine with us!

hello! sorry responding so late, i wish i had a real reason, but it's just faulty memory....

no, not a photographer, just love taking pictures, but that's a huge compliment that you even asked. wouldn't mind being one, though. ;)

and gibson is adoorrable! i saw your profile picture in the calendar finalists and picked him as one of my choices. bentley is on there too! he's the first one on the right on the first row. sleeping away. his head looks huge. hahaha.

no one would know that you didn't have a membership since there is no one there to tell on us! :) Are there any places near you?

Hi Kelly, your Gibson reminds me very much to my Jerry. The face look as cute!! Very cute Corgi, specially the puppy pics. Jerry looked like his brother when he was a puppy!!!

Kim & Nellie

I agree . . . .comparing dogs is a good way to share information. Is Gibson your only dog? Nellie is our only dog, but we have 2 cats and 2 birds. We are enjoying Nellie so much, I have been considering getting another Corgi. I'm just not sure.... . . . think I'll wait a while longer on that one!

Dec 3, 2008
Kim & Nellie

Glad to hear you say that getting another dog would difficult . . . . I agree! I would hate to short Nellie of the time she needs, especially since my husband and I work full time. Grandma comes and lets her out during the day, but otherwise she is crated 6-7 hours per day. Not ideal . . . . but we make up for it when we are home! She is much loved!
I was looking at some of the great photos of Gibson you have posted . . . . . did I see a martingale collar on him? I just ordered one for Nellie and am hoping she will accept it. If it is a martingale, how does Gibson like it? Is it a side buckle or over the head style? Just curious.
Have a good day!
Kim

Kim & Nellie

Oh thanks for letting me know . . . . . we have a similar situation in that our trainer wants us to use the choke collar (which is half chain and half fabric) and I don't like it as the metal seems to be discoloring her white chest fur. A minor thing really, but the martingales are so pretty! I ordered one from 2hounds design. Where did you get yours? Also, how did Gibson do with the over the head style . . . . .did you have trouble getting him to accept it? Good talking with you!

Dec 4, 2008
Kim & Nellie

Thanks for the info! I can't wait til Nellie's comes in the mail. I'll take some "fashion show" photos and post them.
Thanks again!

Ha=ha:) Tod - yes, but we named Lady after the musical "My Fair Lady" ... We love 'The Lady and the Tramp" too.

Gibson totally rocks! Oh and don't be afraid of him becoming a 'man'...He'll always be your baby:)

The corgi card's on sale at Barnes and Noble. I nearly shrieked with delight when I saw them! (I then, of course, immediately purchased them...)

Kim & Nellie

Congrats on the cover Gibson and Kelly! I was just going through some of your videos and I have to say I am so impressed with Gibson's tricks! Nellie is no where near that proficient . . . . . we are still working on sit/stay! I am hoping we'll get there too.
Happy Holidays,
Kim

Kim & Nellie

I'm so glad to hear that it took some work! We have had 3 Training sessions and I am just now beginning to see some results. This little gal is so darn cute, but . . . . . she tests us every step of the way! She does make me laugh though and so it's worth it!
To answer your question; I haven't received my martingale collar yet so thanks for asking as it prompted me to call 2hounds and ask them. She's going to call me back.
Have a Happy Holiday!

Ugh, bully stick....i stopped calling it by that name. I ask Freya if she wants her peepee stick, lol.

*shudders* kind of gross but I'll roll with it if she likes to chew so much.
