Welcome Wynne, Gus and family!

Thanks!

hello, would you like to join the group, Party Corgi's, we would love to have you as another member!

Im located near Niagara Falls abt 1/2 hr away.

Thanks my four are cute but sometimes they are a real handful!!

thanks for the link to the cooling bandanna, i think i might just invest in one! its so affordable, just curious what size did u get? (how much does ur dog weigh?)

I think I got a medium. Gus is pretty big for a corgi-about 35 pounds.

maybe Gus will get to like the bath more..Chester doesnt like to get in but he sure likes to stay in!

i think you're right (ppl have too much time) but having all that time to put down someone else's pet is just absurd -_-

What cute pictures! does our dog really like yogert?

Haha! the other question i meant to ask you: is that i noticed on Gus's baby pictures he almost looked like a tri colored, did you know he was going to to be a red and white? I am trying to figure out the puppy coloring subject.

The 5/18/08 photo of Gwynnie is on Mt. Catherine, a little (5050') peak at Snoqualmie Pass in the central Washington Cascades. I-90 goes right through there. There are some downhill ski areas, and a great little Nordic ski trail system, where we were. I was up there 5/4/8 with Al, and there was more snow than I'm used to seeing in midwinter. Most of those peaks are easier to climb than they look.

What was that about a "cooling bandana"? Our tris get hot above timberline, and I have to find snow and make a corgicicle.

Hello and welcome ... just realized you had joined the Upstate Corgi board.

Eric, Lincoln (the Corgi), and I live in Clifton Park.

Saw your Saratoga photo ... we don't live far from there at all. Hope you stopped at Sloppy Kisses just up the road from where that photo was taken. It is a dog's heaven!

Hi. I am doing research on Corgi's becuase me and fiance go crazy over them. I want to make sure it will be a good fit for our home before I get one. I've heard that Corgi's shed and bark alot is that true?

Thanks for the warm welcome!!!!

So I was just looking at your puppy pictures of Gus, and I realized that his ears were about the same size as Kiwi's...and by that I mean ginormous! Her ears are doing the same thing that Gus's ears did, where they flop to the side and look like wings instead of ears. Did you eventually have to tape his, or did they just go up on their own? Just thought I'd ask b/c we've been a little concerned about Kiwi's ears. Gus is a cutie!

Loved your slideshow Wynne! Gus is a lovely boy with alot of character! The soccer video is awesome. I love pictures of corgis in the snow too. We don't have that opportunity!

Hi, your dogs are cute! We have a corgi and a mix too! Daisy (the corgi) is eight monthes and Chappie (the mix) is five and a half. I love to watch them play! I enjoyed looking at your pics of your dogs! Lisa P from WV

Thanks for the comment, yeah, my doggie loves all sorts of raw veggies. The breeder said they prefer raw because of the crunchy sound. :)

Thank you! I do have everything ready for him. I also got a gift, in the mail, from the owner of Banzai's big brother Indy! She sent me a cuddle pal that I can use to comfort Banzai.

Thanks for the nice comment :o) He is precious I am absolutely in love and he isnt even home yet! LoL

Thanks for your "Amen""; I was still in the process of writing it...if you care to go back you can see the finished version. Do you know if there is a way that you can add a picture to the blog? Thanks

Thanks so much for the compliments. My name is Easton by marriage but my husband can trace his ancestors (and not that far back) to England. Have you tried tracing you Easton roots?

Hello, Wynne! The other corgis in my photos are Gin's family. The kennel we bought my dog is really nice. I ve been keeping in touch with him, and sometimes I have a chance to meet up Gin's family that the kennel have kept.

My husband and I went to England to visit my sister in London....we were going to go the place where the Easton's were from. He has a slide that his parents took when they were in London...it had "Easton monuments" so we know what some of them did for a living. These would have been relatives of my husband. We thought it wouldn't be far from London but it would have been an overnight trip and we ended up not going. We still have the slide though.

^^ thank you

thanks for the comment on the pics...catch the video too, of all the coaxing.....

i love your videos of your lil corgi pup...come by my youtube club corgi and would love to see your vids there too.......club corgi, youtube style!

oooh no, not again.......

hi wynne! gus is super sweet looking. i was wondering if you could recommend the breeder you got gus from...i've been researching corgis for a while now but haven't had much luck locating a reputable breeder. any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi! Thanks for commenting on my video! I can't believe I didn't think of "yes they can!" as a title for it!

Hi back to you...how are you doing? Thanks for the compliments. By the way, I love your page colour...one of my favourites and purple, of course!!!
Congratulations on Pearl, she is really pretty and it must be fun to have a 10 week old. Joy and Butter

Another hint....for fun, easy photos go to photofunia.com You can paste your own photos into pre-existing ones and you'll be amazed. I did some of Butter when he was campaining for Canadian Prime Minister. It is really fun. A few members are doing it now. Have fun...you're on your way!! Joy :)

Hey, how did you know Redeemer was one of my all time favourite pieces (did I have this on mine, can't remember). I sing How Beautiful as a solo....love it. Never heard of the last one, I'll have to have a listen. I always view with my speakers off because I find it easier to concentrate. I guess I am missing a lot. I just did 2 new photofunias....fun...let me know if you need help with those. JJ and BB

Thanks for the photo comment. Do you get much snow? Joy

I see you are enjoying PHotofunia, fun isn't it? Joy

Surprisingly no, they pretty much ignore the bunnies and the bunnies do their own thing. They like to eat rabbit poo though!

Your Corgis are absolutely adorable!!!!

I will be looking for a pharmacy tech job in NY.

You wouldn't be willing to look after Kota while I'm looking for a job/place (prolly a couple months), would you? I have everything he would need. :D If not... no biggie. Just thought I'd try.

Hi Wynne and Gus! I noticed that you posted about Hip Dysplasia and unfortunately my dog just got the same dianosis. He's only a a year and half old. I was wondering if you have any tips for me and Grover. Thanks!!!! And I hope Gus is in top form!

Long time no talk. Thought I'd pass along some information to you regarding treatment for the displastic hip. Recently I started to go to a vet that uses alternative methods in addition to standard treatment protocols. She recommended accupuncture treatments every 4-6 weeks for a few months. She also gave me some hyaluronic acid (HA) to give Timmy in addition to the Glycoflex III he was getting. With the addition of the HA he hasn't had a bad day in months. Even with hard exercise two to three times a week. I've been pushing it to see and it definitely is the one thing that has really helped him. With only the Glycoflex he was still coming up lame a couple of times a week. Now it's been a couple of months!!!! I found out that Hyaluronic Acid is also used by a lot of people doing agility and it has helped their dogs continue to be competitive. Currently I buy it from KVvet.com. I have no connection to the company or the site. I'm passing the information along and perhaps you can discuss it with your vet or other friends.

After I started using it, I discovered that Lab and GSD forums and networks have been using the stuff for a couple of years.

Hope that Gus is doing well and enjoying life as only a corgi can.

Yes, forgot to mention that we are doing the accupuncture, too. I didn't think Timmy would do well either. Must be the setting, people, not sure, but he did really well, even fell asleep! She has an assistant feed some really good treats to keep the front end busy. The needles are really fine and shorter than those for us. Of course since she's done this for years, she was quickly able to get them in and he stayed calm the whole time!! It was remarkable, and I couldn't believe it. Timmy has had three treatments now and only once did he even notice. So I felt like a fool, since I mentioned how he probably would be reactive and have a hissy fit. Sigh...........

She also mentioned that at this stage (managable) she wouldn't recommend any surgery. She is a proponent of stem cell injections. (Much less invasive and very good results). Company is called VetStem (down in San Diego, CA). What I like about her, (Dr. Sarah Green in Arcata, CA) is that she is progressive in her approach, and really listens to my concerns and babbling.

Before I tried the HA, I was contemplating surgery now, to avoid further deterioration of the joint which would mean pain, etc. Knowing what the future holds, I wanted surgery while he was still healthy and younger, since the joints hold up for many years (10, I believe), instead of waiting until he is severely affected by the degenerating joint. She calmed me down and said that she was open to continuing that conversation, but that it was way too early. Give her a chance to work with us using the HA, accupuncture, and if there was no improvement, then consider further drastic measures.

My mainstream friends think I've gone over the edge, but if it helps him stay active, I'll do it. Timmy lives for every day adventures, ball chasing and helping any way he can.

Give Gus some belly rubs and butt scritches from both of us and keep us informed.

I use Hyaflex. It's a heavier molecular weight and only use a small amount. It's pure HA and costs about $25 for a little more than a months supply. Timmy weighs about 37 pounds and we use .75 ml (3/4 of the eye dropper) once a day. The bottle is 30 ml.

There are other HA's out there. Timmy started with "Trixsyn" which is a lighter molecular weight, but we had to use it twice a day and more of it. Cost was about the same, but I opted for less and less often.

Great, that you can find it without going online. I put the dropper directly in Timmy's mouth and empty the dropper under his tongue. With the Trixsyn I still put it directly into his mouth and not on food or a treat. For some reason I remember that there is a higher absorbtion rate this way. Just IMHO, I'm not a medical person.

Please let me know if you see any improvement. Here's hoping!!

Hi Wynne,

The Pupsters thought they had their own tent but we all slept in my SUV. . .glad we did cause Sid went ballistic when he heard a bear come into the campground. . . .whata dog!!!
