I love my Bonni and Faye.
Welsh Corgi Breeder?
No
About My Corgi(s):
Bonni is a 6 year old Corgi Pembroke. Bonni is the spunkiest of all the puppies at the pet shop when I picked her out. Truly a wonderful companion and my best friend. She loves belly rub, and gives you kisses right on your lips! Extremely intelligent too!! Truly a joy in my life!

Faye is the most cuddly Corgi ever. She is a 4 year old and is growing to be a very expressive and spunky character. I wanted to give Bonni a playmate while I study, so finally she has a sister! They got off on a rough start, but now the two of them will play together and miss each other when the other is not around. Faye can be quite feisty and stubborn. But she is truly a sweetheart. Will follow me everywhere I go and always sit right by my side.

Bonni and Faye have been a true joy in my life and I am happy to have shared them with my family and friends. My sister has fallen in love with Faye, and I will be giving Faye to her when she goes off to college so she, too, can have a companion for all those long studying days! After graduation, I plan to have a 3-Corgis family!
I have:
Pembroke

    Thanks for the compliment! I actually have never heard of Miami ad school since I have been limiting my searches inside of California, but I am majoring in advertising!

    The whole puppy mill thing has my heart torn, I know the puppies are in a bad place and often in a bad environment, but at the same time, I want to take them home and show them some love.

    I read that you got your corgi from a pet shop, and I think that's awesome really. :) I always wanna take the corgis away! And, being very honest, that is a beautiful dog; I would not even think came from a shop by looking at her! Her features are sooo soft and beautiful, I hope to see lots and lots of pics up! :3

    The Furminator really works, it is not the flat metal wire ones that you mentioned, I have those too, but once you've used the furminator, you really don't need other brush. I wish the peanut pic was mine, I've been trying to hunt down the owner, too cute :)

    Currently I am instructing at a dog club in Clearwater, FL. May I suggest that you find a good dog training club in your area. Dont be worried just be proactive. Think socialization, exposure and good training.

    Hi Candy! Round belly is because of parasites. It is totally common! I see it all the time in puppies, especially if they've not been cared for (properly wormed after birth). Don't sweat it. It just needs treatment. Patti (corgiholic - my partner) says the Droncit should help. She'll check with her employer (she's a vet asst.) on Monday. In the meantime, check with friends and family who have pets and ask them for recommendations for vets. The vet doesn't have to be the biggest around. Many small vet clinics give more personalized, excellent care. As for Petland's vet, I don't know. But our vets at the PetSmart where I work are wonderful. I actually bring our puppy to them (I get a free animal health care program since I'm the trainer there.). Not all pet store vets suck. Some are quite good.

    Hang in there. Worms and parasites are very treatable. But it's important that you stay on top of it. Use the Droncit. Find a different vet - quickly. And continue care.

    And don't forget to give that baby some great lovin'!

    Hi Candy! I just realized you left me a message here. Anyways, I think when your dogs started fighting a little bit. It's ok to let them be. But do keep an eye on them. If the fight goes overboard, you then step in to interup. Because if you interup whenever Bonni starts to dicipline Faye, in some way, Faye will think that you agree with her and she should continue doing what she does. Little fights once in a while is natural. I mean, even human will disagree with eachother once in a while. So, just like being a mommy, watch over them until you think things are getting too hot. ^_^ Don't worry too much. I think you're doing just fine.

    Hey Candy! Hope you had a great weekend! We don't have pet insurance on Mocha or Vienna, we know some of our friends do.

  • Avyon

    Not a problem :) hopefully one of them will become the top dog around the house. Once they figure out the pecking order its allot easier but dogs sometimes take their time on it haha.

    Because of the aggressive behavior from the husky. Chris isn't going to bring down Roxi when he visits next week just because I'm scared something bad is going to happen :/

    That's a great idea! What type of calendar do you have in mind? 12 photos for 12 months or up to 365 photos? I wonder how many copies would people be interested.... hmmm.... any suggestions just let me know :)

    Oct 14, 2007

  • Ivy & Bryson

    Hey Candy, Bonnie and Faye, thanks for checking out Bryson's pix! Your corgis are adorrrrrable! :D I like the idea of a calendar too, I've seen someone made a really nice monthly calendar with their iMac. I'll suggest it to Sam.

    And you know what's funny? I'm a Pharm.D. too! I graudated from Univ. of WA in 99 (too long ago)... Feel free to contact me if you need any career tips (I've worked as a clinical pharmacist and am now in the industry).

    Hey Candy,
    Well, our 3 corgis were born and raised for 2 years in sunny California. We took them to Colorado and they LOVED the snow, they think it's an incredible wonderland, tunnelling and trying to eat the snow. We don't let them wander around for more than an hour at a time. But even after and hour, you feel their paws and they're warm. They're just running around so much that they don't get cold like I would. God made them to adapt much better than me. :)

  • Ivy & Bryson

    Hey Candy, good to hear you're interested in going to WA for a residency! I actually went to UW for my Pharm.D. in Seattle but came to UCSF for my residency, and end up staying here in CA after that. But if you need any info / contacts about the UW residency program, let me know, I still know some people there. Good luck with rotations! They're fun (but of course not as fun as hanging out with our corgis :>)

    Please don't feel bad about getting Faye from Petland. Ein is also a Petland puppy. I do not wish to directly reply to your thread about worms, because I get so so tired of feeling like I have to be defensive because people comment about where he came from. I would like to speak with you more, regarding my experiences with Ein coming from Petland. Would you be willing to email me at corgimom@gmail.com? I can't find a way to email you or send you a private message through this page.

    Hey Candy- http://www.flickr.com/photos/deadvideokid/

    As far as my camera- I shoot with a Canon xti, and in most of the shots of kiki on here and my flickr, I used a f4 70-200L IS USM canon lens.. but I also use a 17-40L IS USM canon as well when we're out and about.

    Your Bonni and Fay are so sweet I can feel the sweetness
    jump off the page! I love your site, too. You describe them
    well, helps me to pay attention to my 3 1/2 months with me (about 16 months old at least rescue) corgi, Court.
    I found you by searching conjunctivitis. Court has something similar, and he didn't have it except very rarely before he started going to a doggie day care place about 1 month ago (he loves it so, he loves water and they have baby pools and play games with the hose water stream (hard to stop!...anyway, his eyes get red and sometimes watery, occasionally a colored discharge but that stopped. I'll treat him (i have a cream for conjunctivitis, can I ask what they gave you?), after a couple days they get lighter,
    and then sometimes really light, or sometimes back to red...
    his spirits seem okay, i mean it's been hot and we've had a lot of thunderstorms and after trying many herbal remedies for his
    barking out his fear even all night storm behavior, he gets
    ACE occasionally, and then his mood gets more mellow.
    that's just background as his eyes may be watery or even colored
    a little green...but it's wierd that they will clear up and go back to red...would you mind sharing what you ended up doing and if it is still recurring?

    How do you ski with a dog:
    1. Stay away from groomed nordic ski tracks (dog tracks do wreck ski tracks)
    2. Choose conditions with firm crust so the dog doesn't break through (even so, a corgi may need to walk in the ski tracks).
    3. I now carry the Pawz(TM) booties in case of sore feet (snow chafing between pads).
    4. Bring lots of treats.
    5. Don't get ski wax in their fur.
    :-)

    >Do they get cold?!?!?!

    That fur is warm.
    We rarely get snow in Seattle, but once we had an unusually heavy snowfall, so much fun I walked the dogs in it for over an hour. Their backs got covered repeatedly; they just shook it off. In summer weather in the mountain snow, they'll curl up and rest on the snow. I'll sleep in a sleeping bag; they just sleep on a pad beside me, sometimes with my jacket over them.
    Cascade mountain weather is often rainy, wet, cold, soaking. Doesn't seem to bother them.
