yay! more gorgeous Corgi puppies! Yoshi is so cute!! please come to the Redondo meet up this weekend -- Sat or Sunday 8-9am... i know it's early but it's the best time for our furcoat-buddies :)
Yoshi is adorable. I hear he is a trouble maker like quixote? We get new suprises everyday. Friday it was a torn up empty pizza box. Today we found she was trying to chew up her cone (that she had to wear after getting spayed). and an old sandal of mine was found torn to shreds in the living room. hehe (Luckily its one i dont wear anymore). Its funny all the things they can get into, somehow she figured out how to acrobat her way to get up on the computer table, and the kitchen dining table. So we have to arrange the chairs in a manner that she cannot get on top of them. lols but she is sooo much fun and brings a smile to our face everyday.
Love the picture of Yoshi falling asleep on the shoes. So precious! I do not own a Corgi just yet, but a friend of mine near Chicago is getting ready to breed her female tri-color this spring, and I have dibs on one of the males! My husband and I live down in Texas, but we are going back up to the Chicago area the end of August, the first of September to pick up our little one. Our friend only releases the babies when they are 12 weeks old. Until then, I live vicariously through all of you who own a precious baby!
Yoshi is still young so it could be a lot of things. Is Yoshi eating? How is Yoshi's poop? Is it normal? Hopefully Yoshi is doing well. We are typically at the dog park on Sundays between 8 and 10. : ) I will admit that most people with Corgis don't show up until 9:30! Hopefully we meet you and Yoshi soon!
Cool photo! Be careful about those flying leaps though. Our breeder was quite firm with me: "no big physical challenges until 1 year old" (how old is Yoshi?). You want to avoid injuries to the cartilage growth plates at the ends of the long bones, mainly the wrist I think; if one of them gets damaged,the bone stops growing and the wrist will curve as the other bone continues to grow. It's good that you have carpets; we have smooth floors and I worry about the dogs slipping when they land/take off, so we have ugly nonskid throw-rugs at landing zones. We have a step for the bed and try to discourage those flying leaps, and keep the fur trimmed away from their pads.
Gosh he's cute.
Get him a volleyball or a Nike Jr. 7" childrens' basketball.
Just teach him to use the step up to the bed. He can learn that. It is a useful habit; a lifetime of jumping off the bed might be bad for his back. Ours did not learn it early enough and they'll often ignore the step.
Check out the "Emergency Recall" or "Really Reliable Recall" idea; I posted it on here somewhere.
Be very methodical about training. Keep a logbook. Make a plan. List all the commands (vocabulary) you want him to learn. Make sure everybody in the household is on the same page with the program. That's what I'd do if I had it to do over again.
Ditto everything John says X10...you'll be a much happier first time dog owner, believe me. Sometimes I wish I had it to do over again. Sophie was my first dog - and looking back, I made a lot of mistakes. We survived but next time it'll be a lot easier. MyCorgi.com is a Godsend...keep reading and asking questions...we know-it-all corgi fanatics are always ready and willing to offer advice!! LOL...I mean that in the nicest way!!
They just get better and better over time. Mine is going on 11 and he's one of the greatest joys I've ever known. Yeah, he was a handful as a pup but that taught me a patience I never knew before, and am grateful for now. Love my boy! Give him time, he'll settle down :)
In my house (or anyone else's for that matter) it's windows and blinds. Petey just cannot hold back from barking wildly at or even biting blind and shades in motion. Even opening a window will set him off. Even motioning toward a window! Never been able to figure it out and now after 10-years of it don't bother to try. But, it's a daily ritual if he's in the house when a window needs adjusting!
heyyy i figured out how to make a survey to get everyones preference on time and location for corgi meet ups, and even which park you prefer. Click here to take the survey. Just two simple questions : )
Hahah, that's funny. I've watched it at least twice and I made my husband watch it. He only mildly snickered. Men! They just don't get it. LOL Yoshi reminds me of Ein with the red and white and his thin physique. Ein was never a pudgy little rolly polly like most pups. She's a lean mean silly machine who's too smart for her own good... or our good. LOL Keep the videos and pictures coming. They grow up too fast.
Aha, thanks! What you don't see are the pics of her struggling with her clothes. ;) I think I tortured her with clothing at an early age so she can tolerate them *just enough* for now.

Yes, all Corgis should come with the disclaimer, "caution, Corgis are known to be addictive!"
They grow up fast! Enjoy this time with Yoshi and take lots of pictures! Fortunately, they are just as cute and adorable when they are grown up!

Random question, but how much does Yoshi weigh so far?
