Thanks for the congratulations:P We haven't really picked out a date yet, I guess. Just know that we do want to be together.

So I don't know if other people would count that as an actual engagement, but we do:P

Hi Natalie! I think Lance and Tucker are adorable! I started with one cardigan, and it just wasn't enough, so we (my husband w/o my knowledge) got the 2nd one.  We have 2 other dogs, so can't add any more right now, but eventually, I can see us with more corgis-pembrokes or cardigans. I would like to do a rescue next time, although my husband really loved having puppies to raise.

Thank you for the welcome!

Beautiful Fam! Love your Christmas pictures. Can't wait to see what you guys are up to on New Year's Eve and Day.

Wishing you lots of love, health and happiness.

xoxo Wendy, Jack, Lucy, Ricky/Rafa, Cali & (3) 2-legged kids!

Thank you for your post.  That's awful that people have lost their corgis to snack bags!  I am aware of the dangers of bags and I was watching her closely as I wrapped my presents just above her.  It was just so cute at the time, I had to snap a picture before taking it away from her!

Oh guys. Our play date was wonderful. I'll send you photos next week. Thanks for remembering the play day. Send me photos of New Year's Eve and Day if you get some good ones. Meantime, know that we wish you all the best in 2012! xoxo

A tab (or at least that's what everyone in my class calls it) is just like a really short leash that you keep on them. It can be a cut off leash with a knot in it, one gal uses one of those twisty shoes laces that stretch. You just make sure it's short enough that they can't step on it, but it gives you something to grab onto if needed.

Thanks!! Omgosh your dogs are adorable!!!!!

Thanks, he is actual a defective colour, called "Pink". It is a recessive Red gene. Plus he has a long curly coat, so that is why he ended up with me. Not show quality, but we love him to bits. He sure loves the cold snowy days. Which we have lots of lately. So funny to see him hopping through the deep snow with those short legs. 

He was born June 1st so he is 7.5 months, got him when he was 7.5 weeks. 

I'm a bad mother because I didn't take any pictures or video of Noodles licking the snow or catching the snow balls I made him. Sorry. He did have a wonderful time playing in the snow. We had ice and snow this morning and he pulled me down the driveway. I let go of his leash or else I would have fallen, but he had fun running in it. They are calling for more snow and ice tomorrow night in to Wednesday, but I won't hold my breath. Noodles will be thrilled if it happens and I'll be thrilled watching him play in it.

We got more snow last night and Noods had a blast running in it this morning on our morning jog. When my husband and I left for work, we had 2 inches and it was coming down like crazy. Per our weather guessers, we might get another 2 inches tonight. Noodles is loving it. You can just tell he is having a blast. When we went jogging last night, his tongue was flapping around and his eyes get this bright look to them. He is too cute! I'm hoping we still have some by the time we go home, so Noodles can play in it. I did make snowballs for him this morning to catch. If I remember, I'll try and get some pictures of Noodles in the snow.

thank you :) gladys is my corgi and the chocolate lab is her buddy, memphis. we got him on father's day 2 years ago.

I can't seem to upload the snow picture to my page here at work, but I'll put it in this comment. We still have this much snow after it had been raining cats and dogs for over 6 hours (taken yesterday). Everything is still covered, including the streets and we've had heavy rain and wind now for 12 hours. Apparently we got quite a bit for us. Oh, you will die laughing. Noodles hates the slush. He found himself in the middle of a big slushy mess, froze and looked up at me for help. I had to go in that slushy mess and carry him over to the snow. He also avoided walking in it and if he had to, he walked very slowly lifting only one paw at a time. Too funny!

Hi Natalie,got your message about your parent's. I do have friends on My Corgi from Murrel's Inlet around the corner from Pawley's Island . There name is Jeff and Jacci they are retired and have two corgi's a boy and girl. Look them up ,I sent them a message but not active lately. Maybe you can message them by e-mail? Dogs are allowed on the beach there especially now before beach season!

Thanks for the welcome. Your Tucker is pretty cute, too!

Thank you for the warm welcome :)

We did print out the Christmas card family picture and that is hanging up right before you go downstairs. I loved the picture and the colors turned out well. Noodles has an orange bandana, but my husband wouldn't allow him to favor one team over the other, so Noods had to wear his black and white one. He is a Beaver at heart though since he is a mama's boy. Our snow is all gone, but Noodles is happy no more slush. We are just dealing with tons of rain and that means flooding. Yuck!

awwwwwwwwww,they are so cute!

may i add you and your corgis of course as a friend?

I haven't heard from you in ages. How are you all doing? How is Lance doing? I miss hearing about your boys, but I'm sure you are all very busy.

That is wonderful to hear about Lance. Yeah! You can always use a bright spot like that, right? I'm sure Lance is glad he is feeling better in order to play with his brother. Nothing like brotherly love, right?

Noodles and I are doing well. I can't believe my baby will turn 7 in June. I've received 2 compliments just this past week that they couldn't believe he was 6.5 because he looked so skinny and young (yeah!). I still haven't made the appointment to get Noodles teeth cleaned. I work up the nerve to call and then I don't. Noodles had all his shots updated the end of December, so he is fine with them. I want to get bloodwork done to make sure he is okay before I agree to the cleaning though. I was curious to know if Tucker had his done because I was going to ask you how it went. Well, which ever of us gets it done first, we will have to tell the other.

Happy Valentine's day to all of you!

Hi Natalie! Thanks so much for your welcome. :) I've been roaming around this site to learn more about corgis, different breeders, and what to expect. I hope to find one soon! :D

Hi thanks for your kind welcome, I've uploaded some pictures of Jack and Max

Thanks for the welcome! Day 1 has been great, he slept all through his first night and has been so much fun today. Eat, bathroom, play, sleep repeat! haha

Congratulations on the hitting the year mark since Tucker joined your family! That's crazy!:) I can't wait to brag about the year mark! Lol

Thanks! Are you able to see the post it's

sometimes im not sure if people see them or not.. :P 

Thanks for asking Natalie. Wynn is doing well and even though he doesn't like me doing the back rubs on his bad part of the spine he doesn't show any symptoms of his back hurting or lameness:)

Hello back. I'm sorry I haven't been on here that much. I hop on for a bit and then I'm off and running. Worrking really long days at work and working Saturday's, so that doesn't leave much fun time. Noodles is doing well and is currently enjoying our spring snow storm that hit us. My flowers aren't happy, but Noodles is having a blast. We went jogging yesterday and then we took turns chasing each other in the snow down at the park and I threw snowballs for him. It snowed more last night, so this morning on our jog, he got to basically hop through the snow because it was too deep for him. I think he might be the only "person" enjoying this snow. How is everyone doing, including the boys?

Hello! Ok, so here's how it started. Around November I noticed she had a red welt on her left ear and the vet said it looked like she was stung by something. So she gave her steroids to bring down the inflammation. By that time, it was already hurting her and I could tell the inside of her other ear was starting to look swollen. Well, the steroids made her go cushinoid and she started drinking/panting a ton and gained about 8 pounds in 3 days. Luckily that was only temporary and she dropped the weight once we stopped the steroids. But then her ears both got worse. To me, they look like swollen glands at the base of her inner ear. The ears themselves are now shriveled-looking and have flopped over. They're painful for her but all the vet was able to prescribe was metacam (pain killer) and told me to take her to a dermatologist last week. After going through so much with this, I really find a hard time believing it's dermatological. I'm going to have to just take her to a second vet, but I was really hoping to have some sort of idea of what was going on, and I just can't find anything anywhere. 

Hello! I haven't been on here in ages!  Back then, you were just called Natalie & Lance! We used to talk on chat for a while before I became scarce, and I was just wondering if you remembered me and Shippo. =)  Also, the music on your profile rocks! =D

Thank you! When I saw it I laughed out loud. Had to share :-D

Thanks :) Haha, yea it's cute!

I think you have to go to where you change the background and there is a "transparent" part. There you can change the transparency of your page so that the picture shows through.

Natalie,  Is Lance doing fairly well now?  What is his condition?

Natalie, I don't know if you are interested in natural things for health.  One of the natural anti-inflammatory things that I have used for Reese to protect her when the worms die is: Super Bio-Curcumin (http://www.lef.org/Vitamins-Supplements/Item00407/Super-Bio-Curcumi...).  I take it myself as it has helped me get off of a steroid that I take for a weird type of colitis, which results in diarrhea.  Anyway, this is something that you might consider for Lance.  I give Reese about 1l2 capsule each day plus various other things.

Thanks, Natalie. My husband is heading home today, but I haven't heard an update since 9 last night on how his friend is doing. They want to do as many surgeries as they can in Boise, ID before they move him to Portland, OR (we all live in Salem). The doctors said don't expect him to be home for 4-6 months. Now the big project is finding a home and getting it fixed up to make it wheel chair accessible. That will be all of our project until Chris comes home. My uncle had surgery at 9:30 this morning. I don't know how long the surgery was supposed to take, but I'll check in on him in a little bit. Thanks for your prayers. It has been an emotionally draining weekend.

Natalie, I think it would work for auto-immune but will search for more info later.  The colon condition that I have is not understood but the only things that work for it are anti-inflammatories so I wonder if it as an auto-immune component.  I will write more later.

Hi Natalie,  I just googled curcumin and autoimmune disease.  Indications are that it is beneficial in multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease in human or animal models.  If you wanted to start in a cautious manner, you could give him a little turmeric every day and gradually built the about up to 1 teaspoon per day.  If there are no problems then you could consider the Super Bio-curcumin.  Beware, it provides the yellow color of curry and many Indian dishes.  I dropped a capsule and Randy grabbed it and ran over to the carpeting and made a mess.  If you do try, let me know how it works out.  For myself, my colitis required treatment with a customized steroid (Endocort) which is supposed to be safer because it stays in the GI tract but the cost would be over $1,100 per month and it kept knocking me into the medicare gap, so I found I could get it cheaper from a canadian pharmacy and also found that they even have a generic.  That is one of the main reasons that I wanted to try curcumin and for the first time in about 3 years, I was able to phase off the Endocort. I got too smart and phased off the curcumin also and had to go back on them but am down to 1 of each a day, so I expect to go off Endocort in a few days but will continue the curcumin. ttyl, Lois

Hello Natalie and thank you from Travis (the four legged stinker) and from me, John (the two legged dork--I'm always kidding about myself).  Beautiful dogs you have.  I'm relatively new to the Corgi world (never married, no kids) so having someone around (Travis) who's constantly at my side makes me smile!  Thanks again!  John (AKA SEADOG) and Travis!

Thanks again...now that I'm officially a "landlubber", I forgot how good it feels to have a dog by your side (kind of hard keeping any type of pet always on the move).  Thank you again for the kind words regarding my service....I'm very humbled. 

You will be proud to know I finally made Noodles teeth cleaning appointment. It will take place on June 6th. I'm sure Noods isn't going to be too happy with me, but I'm glad I made the appointment.

Hoping Lance and Tucker are getting ready for the summer!

My health is really tanking.  Passed out...stopped breathing...spent 4 days in ICU in isolation with a central line in my neck and on a breathing machine two weeks ago.  Haven't been online much.  I love looking at your pictures though.  The boys cheer me up!  So do Rainy and Calvin.  But I am afraid my body is just finally giving out.  Enough of that though....I hope you guys are looking forward to the summer.  Do you have anything fun planned?

I thought maybe Tank and Tucker would be brothers but I see that he was born in 2007!

Hello! Thanks for the welcome! :)

thank you! your dogs are adorable!
