hahha!! I think Bailey is finally figuring out that having his tongue out in pictures makes him look so cute, so he does it. =P if you look at his older pics, he hardly "smiled" haha. im lovin that tongue! =P

ooooo bailey weights 20 lbs now. and hes only 4.5 months. Crazy, huh?!!?

lol! doesnt mei have that same kennel? (i think i saw it in the picture) basically i was in a fetal position ... =( hahaha

No im not a breeder. We decided to have only 1 litter just because both our dogs are so wonderful and people around us always commented on wanting dogs like ours(size, temperment etc.). But the dad has already been fixed and the mom will be also once the puppies are situated.

hey~ i was wondering who do u use to ship your dog and allen said something about giving the dog allergy medicine so it will sleep? thanks! :D

i am just hoping its some major growth spurt and he wont get any longer or taller and just fill out. lol. he has 10 lbs to do that, then im going to start freaking out!

Because I'm a girl! I wouldn't wear skirts if I was a boy, though that would be funny.

It's ok, a lot of people aren't use to Charlie as a girl's name!
Sorry to hear about your pups broken toe! :(

yupp hes on puppy wellness. you think we should switch over to adult food? maybe another question to post in the forum!!!!!

yepp! ive heard people transition to adult as early as 5 months. im going to see what his weight is after were almost done with this bag of food, and then decide!

=P

TAKE HER HERDING. It is so uplifting, you won't regret it. Don't worry about her listening to you -- the Herding Instructors we went to said it isn't about listening for beginners -- its about building her confidence and NOT telling her what to do, hah. Sounds complicated but this is what they recommended/how it worked at our facility: You bring your dog into the ring, on leash. They tell you to removed the leash and then you run at the sheep/whatever she is herding and get REALLY excited about it. You can push the sheep around and run with her in training, to encourage her. She will feel like she's on a team with you. One thing they said is that dogs are always told, "Don't chase the cats, don't chase the squirrels, etc." and so sometimes its hard for her at first. They also said they do not want you telling her what to do or even freaking out if she bites the sheep! I also might look for a place that does allow off-leash training (some make the dog pull the leash on the ground) because sometimes the leash can get caught and pull the dog, causing an unnecessary correction and the dog may become scared to herd ever again.

Hope this helps :) You can go to www.ewetopia.com for more info on herding.

Good luck!! JUST DO IT!

haha im afraid if i let him try it - he won't go back to dry. lol =P and i prefer him on dry!

oo thats a good idea (almost like a healthy treat!) - but its a'ok to store that stuff in the fridge? how do you store your wet food?

i wonder if there are other uses.. like spreading it out on a baking sheet and making crackers in the oven? LOL.., have you tried baking it?!?! what happens??

Thanks for welcoming us!!!

haaha, thanks for the welcome! Lilly says hi! And yes lilly is quite the party girl...one crazy corgi i should say..:)

Hi, I wish I did. I didn't teach Buster, he taught himself. Since we adopted him a month ago I have taught him to do "the wave" on command. Everytime I chop up vegetables, he automatically does the wave to get my attention. If he stops waving his feet, I say "do the wave" over and over and I bend down and wave my hands; I find he watches and will start waving again. When he is sitting, I say "do the wave" and hold a carrot out. He will keep waving till he gets the carrot. I don't let him wave too long because I am not sure if it is hurting his spine or not.

One important thing is to first get your dog to sit soundly. I notice that when Buster does the wave it is 2 part process, he sits firmly, then rises and puts his weight soundly on his back haunches on the floor. HE can stay in this position for a long time....the former owner told me it takes a lot of coordination and muscles and balance. I notice if I walk to close to him, he can lose his balance and fall towards me.

I am certainly not a trainer but I would try to kneel beside your dog, both facing the same direction, and maybe try to get her to sit and stay and then help her to rise up. Mimic what she is doing or is supposed to be doing. Let me know how it goes, I would be interested to know. Good luck!

I was just looking at your pictures of Mei, she is sooo adorable!

i thought kaijuu is pretty crazy .. at least after he showers, he knows hes clean so he sprints around the house! hahah

hrm he gets really excited to meet new people, he jumps and wants to play with you, then he's calm and wants to follow you. :]

Yes the crates are bigger IRL. All but the small black one are for medium dogs. The big blue one will be his crate when he is full grown. Just ask Sam T he has one for his corgis too.

You didn't offend me at all! Pictures can be deceiving. I have noticed with my camera that things don't come out the way that they are.

yeah, he is pretty active except when he sleeps all day; like today, haha
Yes, sometimes I think the Pembrokes look like Cardigans. Which have the bigger ears, I wonder?
Mine weighs 47 lbs, how much does yours weigh? I love him to death but kinda wish he had been born smaller because I can hardly lift him...I can't hold him in my lap, that is for sure!

Unfortunately no. They have seperate places in the house. I give equal yard time to all of them. If i knew a solution. I would share it with the world.

Mei looks just like my Bentley! Their markings are identical! What good-looking corgis!

Thanks for the compliment on the "Beautiful Dreamer" picture; it is my favourite too. I want to have a little sleep when I look at it.

PS Buttercup has started digging on his bed....what does this mean?

thanks for your comments, oo yes, kaley and rani the macaw.....they are cute together!

your lil corgi kid is soo cute, love the fact she is soo clumsy....??? soo adorable she is---you gotta love a corgi!


oook, kaley ~corgi----go that way!

clumsy...just for rolling over and hitting the table???kc does that all the time, roll over and hit what ever is in the way....no matter, just being corgi!

kc will chase the ball, and soo fast, soo determined, she will run to the pole, etc.

she will stumble down or up the stairs, cuz she is too fast....

geee, kc runs into things, now an then, but no matter, she does not skip a beat!

smiles : )

Thanks but i have been in the family of corgis for like 7 years ahaha just found out about this site though!

=)

i was totally just kidding don't worry about it i do it all the time
=)

Mei is adorable!!!! Thanks for your comment on our page. Yes, it does look like Spencer would love some wine!!! :-)

hhahah thanks! his mini home! well.. i just got the idea one day.. and i had big pieces of cardboard laying around.. so i figured, why not!

yea i love to do artsy things... have to get back into scrapbooking too. =T =P

Heyyy I might see you and Mei at Corgi fun day. It will be fun~

oo yes, the awards....she is pretty good i guess...deal is we work hard at it and you can get ribbons in agility even when you do not qualify...it just meant there were very few entered in her class!!!!!!!!!!

she does get some legit ribbons though and we are working to get titles!



smiles : )

thanks for all of the feedback!!! Really appreciated. I just added a new video of Buttercup called the Butter Butter Song...

I love your photos, I have looked at them many times. Mei is so pretty and so are you. What kind of birthday cakes does she have? Are they for dogs? does she have a little muzzle on in some of the pictures? I think I am like you....spent way to much time on this site... i have to go and get ready for the day but can't tear myself away.

o yes, trading cards, hey, i think i will try out greeting cards, blank with pics of kaley corgi with rani or playing etc..think that would be a good idea?

and yes, kaley corgi cards would be cute ---- playing, agility, jumping, wet, with the macaw....etc!

smiles : )

hehe, full color card!

what is the name mei mean??? i have another asian pal, with corgi and her dog is mei mei-----------okay, i am chinese too, but i have no idea what mei or mei mei means....a cute name......hehehe, maybe it means cute or sweetheart??? i am Cantonese, so maybe this is mandarin, or am i just making too much out of the name here?????

smiles : )

Thank you, mikonami! I, too, will never understand someone who abuses a dog. I love your pics!!!

Thank you so much and Happy 4th of July in a few days. Thanks for your comments, I am behind in correspondence, sorry....I always enjoy reading your stories, particularly about the tic tac toe game. I have never heard of anything like that. I wish I could go to a Corgi get together.

I live in Canada's smallest province (sorry, typing without glasses on leads to typos). There are only about 140,000 people on Prince Edward Island. No one around here has seen a Corgi before. Everyone thinks they are sausage dogs or hound dogs. I spend a lot of time explaining. Also, everyone thinks he is a puppy because of the short legs. It is too funny.

THe place you were in CAnada was probably Windsor; no I would never bother going there either; an industrial city. Canada is very beautiful and very big (i think the 2nd largest country in the world). We have every climate except deserts and tropical. There are so many beatiful, diversly geographical places to see. Also, where we are bilingual, you can go to Europe, in a sense, by seeing the city of Quebec (French spoken); it looks like an old city in Europe.

Where I live there is a lot of farmland, very pastoral. I was in England and it looks a lot like the countryside in England. We get a lot of American tourists here to get away from it all (cities) and also we are famous for Anne of Green Gables; ever hear of her?

Thanks for telling me about the broken nail...I am even more careful when I cut Buttercup's nails now. These vet bills are outrageous. Is Mei's new nail growing in ok? PS If you tired of taking pharmacy, why don't you consider being a vet...I bet you would be good at it. Take care. I'll check your messages later and see if I missed telling you anything. Oh, yes, the heat. I can't believe that you can stand 100 degree weather. I really feel for your poor family. I think I would die if I had to live through that. I start feeling sick about 80 degrees. Buttercup and I live by the airconditioner; he has about the same heat tolerance as I do; not much. I took him for a little walk this morning and at about 8 minutes we were both fading...I didn't think he was going to make it across the lawn. It was approaching 80 degrees.

That is cute that you show your friend's Buttercup's waving video. My neice, who is in university, begs me to send more videos so she can watch them while she is a work in the evening. I had another man tell me he was watching them at work to cheer him up. I am glad that they make people laugh. I can laugh at myself and I often laugh when I watch them.

Did you see the latest 2 I posted...me singing a song (I think you may have seen that one) and I figured out how to cut 5 mintues from the Tweety Video and posted about a minute or so of it...it is too cute; mya favourite.

I was playing Tweey yesterday and he did the same thing again (only the 2nd time), rose up and started waving at her. Too cute. He is waving so much that we are concerned that it may be hurting his back. the last 2 times he almost lost his balance and fell over backwards. Also, last night he was trying to jump on the sofa and smashed his chest into the side of the sofa (he couldn't make it). When he tried again, he smashed into it again and started to fall over backwards..he gets tired at night. We got these little stairs out for him and are trying to get him to use it. Where he is so heavy, I worry about his back.

How is your on-line course going; I would find that very hard to do...do a course being that close to MyCorgi.com IT is an oxymoron. See yeah, Joy :)

PS The cakes...that is really cool, I've never seen doggie cakes. Let me know what you are going to do for her b'day party? Too cute!!!

Happy 4th of July!

Thanks, I was hoping that you were ok. Don't rush. Take care, J/B (Joy & Buttercup; my new abbreviation)

thanks :) can't wait 2 get her in only 2 short weeks!!!

Hi Lydia, sorry I am getting back to you sooo late. We are OK, still struggling with the allergies. Haven't figured anything out yet!

I loved the pictures of Mei's b'day party and cake. Wish I could have been there. Came looks yummy. She is such a sweet little thing!!
How is school going? Are you in year 2 of 4?
I can't imagine being without your baby!!! Will she be coming to join you? or do you have to wait until Xmas to see her?
Good to hear from you, take care, Joy

hahah i snuck him in a gym bag!!! just kidding!!!

Every year, the local Major League Baseball people set aside one game a year where u can take your dogs! It's been going on for 10+ years, but this was our first one! Going to make it a tradition! Anyways, they had volunteers with jugs of water to refill free bowls they gave out, and we were segregated to the bleacher section of the stadium so cleanup would be controlled. =P We had a blast! I know other teams do it too besides the SF Giants, for instance the team across the bay, the Oakland A's - has a dog days of summer event too! It's great!

oohh and yes! bailey is a big big boy. im guessing around 27 lbs but hes REALLY lean and long. hahha. =P i asked some people at the last corgi meetup on how big theyd think hed get, and i got responses around 35 lbs, since hes got those enormous (yet very cute) paws. =P

Hi, Mei is so cute! I just saw a post about Mei digging in her bed, it was so wierd out of the blue a couple nights ago, our corgi started digging in his bed, he has never done this before! Then the next night again, not sure why he is doing this, have you figured out why Mei was digging in her bed. The only thing I can think of with lance's bed is that the fluff was not right in the bed like maybe it shifted too much or I felt like maybe he was trying to get to something under his bed, lifted the bed and their was nothing.....hmmmm....dont know! Natalie
P.S. Lance is 2 1/2 now and hasnt done this since he was a puppy but this time it was definately more intense than his puppy days!

Hi Lydia!! How is school, how are you and how is Mei? Good to see you back on your addiction site! haha Joy

mey birthday pics are so cute!!! =)

How long have you been in Baltimore? Have you gone to Paper Moon or the Visionary Art Museum? You have to go! My Dad is from Baltimore, and I lived behind Pimlico Race Track for a year while I was in college. It is a really awesome city... I wonder when Hon-fest is....

Hey! Since the MD corgi group's leader has let the group fend for itself, we've created a new group so that Corgis in the DC/ MD area can meet up and stay in touch! Come join us!
