I have a 12yr old male tri -Wrangler and a 5 yr old tri-Nicky. and a new female puppy gracie, she will be 2 on May 14. And one we miss our Ginny who is over the Rainbow Bridge.
Welcome Rebecca! First let me say how very sorry I am of your recent loss! I can only imagine the pain! What a terrible shock! So young! and heart attack. Do you know of Rainbow Heaven? That's what gets me through the losses I've had! My dogs are my heart & soul!
I was born in Tusolca IL but have lived in IN forever. Not sure where Manhattan is? Anyway all the best to you and your three babies...Lori, CAllie & Cooper
Welcome Rebecca and the three corgis! I'm sorry to hear about your 3 year old corgi. I don't think I've ever heard about a canine heart attack. That must have been horrible for you.
I know what you mean about the joy and laughter that comes from having Corgis. Sometimes I just sit in the floor and laugh myself silly just watching the two of them together. Nothing better! look forward to seeing pics of yours. Take care & have fun...L
Welcome Rebecca and her 3 corgis. I am so sorry for your loss. We lost our precious Odie 4 years ago, and it is still difficult, they are so much like our children. I am glad you were able to adopt so soon, good luck, they bring so much joy into my life - I don't think my spouse agrees! Carol, Lucky and Sonny
Rebecca, i don't think you ever get over the loss - I still grieve Odie, and he has been gone over 4 years. Cannot replace him, but I have 2 that I dearly love as well, just not in the same way (does that make sense, I am sleep deprived) I would not worry about pictures, except that we all love to look at them, it took me forever to get the 4 up that I have and who knows when I will get more up! Enjoy your pup and your older children too!
Hi Rebecca so sorry for your loss-- i feel ur pain, lost my Riley 3 months ago and still feels like yesterday.... I try to remember the good times he and I shared and all the happiness he brought to me over the years..... We have a new puppy now Toby and we look forward to many happy years with him now...But the one's we lost will always have a very special place in our hearts.......
We're back, Rebecca! Little misunderstanding on the site, we have a family page that we post on together and Ana did some posting without me while she was home sick on Friday. I appreciate the site's concern about kids' internet safety.
Rosie had her stem cell treatment a year and a half ago. We are very pleased with the results. She injured her biceps tendon when she was about 7 months old. It would seem to be better and then flare up. We got Rocky when she was a year and the bigger he got and the harder they played, the worse her limp became. We took her to Iowa State Vet school after our reg vet looked at her. The diagnosed the damaged biceps tendon in her rt shoulder. We tried conservative management for 6-8 weeks. She was confined to an z-pen in the house and out only on a leash and leashed potty walks. It improved. I had spent a month in GA during this time with the dogs and when we got back to Iowa there was lots of snow. After her first run through the snow, the limp was back with a vengence. Back to Iowa State. They did a biceps tendon release in Feb of 2009. Rosie was 2 years old. She had 8 more weeks of confinement and leashed potty walks. Not fun during that icy winter. During that time, she came up lame on the left knee. Local vet thought it was an ACL tear. Back to ISU. They said luxating patella but not serious enough for surgery. The shoulder limp never improved and the knee limp was off and on. I had her at our local vet for her shots and we were talking about her joint issues. He recommended a vet in MN, we're only 8 miles from the border, who was really good with ACLs. We went for a second opinion on the knee. She felt it was a partial ACL tear and was talking surgery since we already had one iffy leg. Then she mentioned that she was just finishing up her stem cell treatment training and thought Rosie would be a good candidate for that. She contacted VetStem and they agreed. She gave us a good deal on the cost and we went for it. They harvested the stem cells, processed them in CA and injected them in Rosie's shoulder, knee, and an IV just bcause they had plenty. Within 2 days, the shoulder limp was much better and the knee limp has never returned. See next comment
The vet feels she is not in any pain from her shoulder since she can manipulate it and not get a pain response from Rosie. The knee is stable and the x-rays are good. There has been no further growth of arthritis in either joint. She does have a bit of arthritis in the shoulder and knee but no new advancement of it since the treatment. The vet said at some time she might have to have another treatment but since we have banked her stem cells, they will just have to grow new ones and won't have to harvest them again. Rosie runs like a maniac, wrestles with Rocky, plays, has gotten her Rally Novie title and does what she wants and enjoys. We are very happy with the treatment.
No problem. We paid just the costs to the vet from Vet Stem and the cost of x-rays. Total came to around 1700. We haven't had to pay for any of the follow up visits, just the cost of x-rays.
We are just north of Louisville KY so Salt Lick is a couple of hours away...my mother rides in in competitive trail events in the state - she lives in Bowling Green KY and would be interested in going to Salt Lick. I am sure it is great riding. We go to the Mammoth Cave area to ride just conveniently located for us. Any info you have on trail riding at Salt Lick we would welcome! Thanks!
No he is much older almost 2 months - he is just so small there were only 3 males left 1 of them was twice as big the other male was just a little bigger... he is a smart boy though!!!
Congratulations! Gilligan looks like a sweet little boy. I just heard about him late last night and glad to see he is heading home on Thursday. I almost stopped to check him out on the way home, since I work in Springfield, but didn't have much time since animal control closes at 4:30.
The shelter has Saturday hours too. We picked up our cat from them 11 years ago. Did the shelter mention how Gilligan arrived? Was he found or dropped?
They are very easy to get to from the highway too.

Hi Rebecca, thanks for the compliments on Lance and the pics. Lance is a Pecan Valley Dog. We lucked out and found him not too far from where we live in Illinois!!!!! Im thinking we got really lucky finding him so close to us.
Het! Lost track of this. Sorry. I think everyone in Nokomis is a senior, except me! I used to live in the western burbs and dated a girl in Kankakee. Drove down 53 to get there, I think.
Hi Rebecca, thanks for your comments! Baxter really enjoys agility. He just seemed to take to it so quickly. It gives us both something to work on training-wise too. We try to go back home to Chicago once or twice a year. I live on the northwest side in the city, about 20 minutes from Wrigley Field.
In February you asked me a question about where the waterfall is... I feel so bad that I didn't see it until now! It's the Cascade Trail in Giles County, Virginia. Sorry it took so long to respond!
