Chester is very handsome and he was born 1 day before my dogs! Corgis are the best!

Welcome. What a cutie.

Welcome!

Thanks for the comment on Fern. I love this picture, it is such a contrast to the one on the Rescue website from when we got her. Such a happy girl. She did have the surgery. We had to take her Iowa State since it is not a common surgery and my vet didn't want to practice on her! They were great and the surgery went well. She still drips a bit, but not from the extopic uretur. Probably spay incontinence. It is nothing compared to what it was. We will be starting her on meds soon, but still doing some investigation on her urine. She has very high ph so we are working to bring that down. She is a delight. Interesting that you had the same thing. Her kidney on that side was questionable because of the back up of urine, but after the surgery it was perfect.

How is Chester doing with his diabetes? I know what you mean about having nice pictures of your babies. I lost my first Corgi suddenly and didn't have nearly enough pictures of him. He was my best friend. How many children do you have? I have two girls 19 and 22.

Corgis are the Best! My daughters laugh at me! Sounds like we are the same age...although I turn 46 in two weeks...ouch!

Happy New Year! I just posted on your Diabetic Corgi blog, we had a dog with diabetes, it is very manageable. Do you have to give insulin shots?

I have had one other Corgi, his name was Basil. When he was five (three yrs ago) I was taking him, Lizzie and our other farm dogs for a walk near our farm acreage. A trapper had set a trap in the road ditch, Basil found it and was killed. I worked to get a law passed prohibiting trapping int he road ditches. It was passed and they named it "Basil's law" Every year there is one senator who tries to repeal it. I expect to see a bill when session starts next week. I'll probably be posting on it as a reminder. It is hard to lose one of these furry little angels. They sneak their way into you heart. My profile pix is Lizzie and Basil--he is the red and white. I can understand why you would do everything you can to keep Chester with you. He is a lucky dog!

It must have been hard to find Zorro. You are right. All they want is to love you. We have four Corgis right now. Can't imagine life with out them...Life without the corgi hair that would be nice! You can't have one without the other so I'll deal with the hair. Should have invested in Lint Rollers and Swiffer Sweepers!

Meant ot ask...is your son still at home? My oldest is off in Florida and my youngest goes to school about an hour and a half away. She is home for the holiday break. I'm so glad. Not handling the empty nest very well. Love to have my girls around.

I would think it is terribly hard to raise a son by yourself. No one to take the pressure off. Kudos to you! Give you an opoortunity to focus on yourself. Something I bet you haven't been able to do. Will he graduate this spring? In the long run the old high school GPA is meaningless. I would think a Community College or satellite campus would be an ideal way to get back into the traditional academic environment. I think it is always good to talk to college admissions counselor--they can offer good advice on making the transition. My youngest goes to a small state college--Division II school. Perfect for her. Her graduating class in high school had 52 students and I think going to a larger college or university would have been overwhelming. Her school has an outstanding Teacher's program. She is majoring in elementary education and she plays on the Wayne State College softball team--short stop. good position for her--she is only five feet tall!

Thanks for the info. My 14 1/2 year old has some liver issues, and I have been under the assumption that her increased water intake is because of that. BUT, I think I am going to have her tested for diabetes too, because she drinks and pees, drinks and pees. Oh, and eats in between!!!

Thank you! Chester is a very cool dog, I hope he is feeling better (and Zorro is pretty snappy as well!)

Wow, so sad. I understand the money situations, so don't worry about the plates. I think the Rainbow Bridge is a great concept.

I'm actually developing a similar site but the theme is more focused on an after-life for our Pets. I do believe they continue on.

So glad Chester is still by your side. I know too well how heart breaking it is to watch your "babies" suffer in ANY way.

Love all your photos, the "bed hog" t-shirt cracked me up! I need two of those shirts!

Thanks, we're planning on having it done this month, probably around the 15th. We keep checking it for any sings of change. I've been thinking about getting pet health insurance since we have Bunny and two cats. We're thinking about adopting another corgi about Bunny's age from a corgi rescue group I'm familiar with. Do you know anyone that has pet health insurance and their experience?
Glad to meet you! Cathi

Thanks for the friend add! The mystery picture is up....which one is it? LOL Natalie and Lance

Hi! Good Morning! I was going through my comments on my email and saw you posted a message to one of my pictures that said, thats a scary movie! Cant find the picture with the comment, do you remember which picture it was? I am going batty trying to figure this out...hehe

One of our other dogs, a lab/dane mix, is also named Chester.

Thanks for the add!!! Your little one is adorable!!!!

Hey Chester from Indiana! This is Chester's mom from California :) It's funny that your pup's wearing a hat in his profile picture too! This photo was taken this halloween. Chester was dressed up as a "mutt mail man". hahah. How is he doing with the diabetes? I hope all is well. Best wishes.

Hope you are having a Super Sunday too! Thank You!!

Its pretty cold here in Chicago, it feels like -8 and schools are shut down because of the extreme temps tommorrow!!
Hopefully my work will be shut down too! Lance is ok, last night he felt like being outside and stayed out a bit too long because he wouldnt come when I called him in!! He finally started coming in and collapsed right before the door, cause he was soooooo cold, poor baby. But as soon as I opened the door he came right in!! Oh wow, that is alot of snow to get.....sorry about your back that cant be any fun!! Maybe you could get a neighbor to help out?? Hope so. Lance did enjoy laying in the snow earlier today though, like he used to, yay!!! I took pictures, of course, lol. I was looking through some cds of pictures looking for a certain picture and came across his puppy pictures....awww!!!

hi chester and chester's mom! =D thanks for checking out our pictures! Yes, its super warm here in San Francisco right now, VERY unusual - . It was freezing two weeks ago, this week has been t-shirt and shorts weather... who knows - next week there might be thunderstorms!!! I doubt that, but it'd be nice - we have not even hit half of our average rainfall for Jan yet, and it's almost over.

I hope the weather gets better for you on the east coast! Wish we could send a warrrrmmmmmm hug!

Corgi hugs sent your way.

-Natalie and Lance-

Hey everybody! I just called a few places to see who we could do a meet up with and I was only able to find one pet resort that would let us. It is in Castleton, IN. We would basically rent out an area for a couple of hours and let them run. I will get more details on everything tomorrow. The manager has to call me back for pricing and times and such. I was thinking 1-3 on a sat or sun? It would probably be around a month from now. Please let me know if you are interested and what would be best for you. I will do my best to get the most popular day and time.

Hello! Good to hear from you! Yes that is Lance on the credit card! : )
Thanks for the compliment. : ) Ive been thinking about you and Chester too. So our Walmart is finally open and I am able to get my garlic bread pizza there whoo hoo!!! Cant wait for the parking lot to be finished though, it is a mess! Hope your doing good, hope to talk to you soon! Natalie and Lance

Hello Hello, Come out, Come out, wherever you are!!!!
