Sudden trouble walking

Posted on December 2, 2013 at 6:47pm 6 Comments

It's been a really long time since I posted, but could use some help.

This past weekend, Camber had difficulty walking. It started when I looked over to where she was sitting and it looked like she was having some sort of spasm. I went over, touched her, and it felt like all her muscles were quivering. I stood her up and she sort of just quivered then collapsed on the ground. I put her on the kitchen table and started rubbing her legs and back and she didn't flinch or yelp or…

Camber stepped in gum

Posted on July 15, 2010 at 5:24pm 7 Comments

Hi,

So, I took Cam out for her walk today, and she stepped in gum. I took off a large wad of it on the street, but couldn't get the rest off at home. It's stuck to her paw pad. I tried icing it and the snipping it away with small scissors, but couldn't manage to get the rest off.

I know that gum is toxic to dogs, but can anyone recommend how to get the rest of it off?

Thanks!

Can we get Camber to like other dogs?

Here's the dilemma. Mo and I want to bring another dog into our family. We've been doing our research and have been establishing contacts and all that stuff. However, I worry that Cam may not acclimate to another dog.



The confusing issue is that Cam came from a house with 7 other dogs, yet when she meets another dog on the street, she could care less. We already know that our new dog must have a calm demeanor, so puppies are out. We want an older dog. Part of the reason is that we… Continue

Dog Shows are a ripoff!!

Posted on January 31, 2009 at 9:41pm 18 Comments

Alright. It must be a conspiracy. So, Moses, Camber, and I are watching the Dog Show on Animal Planet tonight and I'm quite upset. Now, all dogs are wonderful. They are all special. But. why hasn't a corgi won one of these dog shows? Now, if a corgi has won, well, that's great. Please let me know. But, we watch these dog shows almost every time they come on and corgi's never even place.



Know what won in the category the corgi was in (not a breed category)??

New Year! New Camber.

Hi, everyone!



It has been a very long time since I last posted. I have missed you all!



Things have been going well with us and Camber. She has been loving the snow lately, but definitely has a time limit in the white stuff. Moses and I have been considering training Cam for agility. There are kits that you can buy and set up in the backyard. I think she'd really like it. Time to focus all that FRAP-ping, right?



Other than that, all has been well. Looking into… Continue

Oreo does too! I wonder if it's a corgi thing? Oreo also likes to tunnel through it...lol. All our snowed melted though. :o(

LOL sounds like Oreo and Camber would get along great! They sure seem to act a lot a like.

LOL I am very lucky that Oreo is a very mellow dog! He just likes to lounge around the house. He loves to run outside but once he's inside he just likes to find a nice quiet spot to lay down. That is if Chesney will let him...lol she's quite a terror. And Oreo hardly ever barks! It's so nice..lol. He only barks when someone comes to the house or tries to come into the yard without our ok. But as soon as we tell him it's ok he quiets down. He's such a good dog. Hope he teaches Chesney some of those traits...lol.

Chamber is a beautiful corgi! Sadly I don't think Toby will keep his black mask, but I'm excited to see how his coat will change in color.

Wow...it's been a while since I've written anything! Lots o'drama over Camber today. For more info, check out Moses' discussion. It's worrisome, but judging from Cam's face this morning, I think everything will be ok.

I am a elementary Special Education Self-contained teacher. It is nice to find another corgi/teacher. :)

Cam's been off her eating schedule. Last night (this morning), she decided that she was going to eat at 2:30am. She made such a racket! Then, she came to my side of the bed, looking for head scratchies! Being the sucker I am, I gave them, but I need to stop this little habit.
