About Me:
A relatively new corgi fan. I work with ornamental plants and the people who grow and sell them. Growing up on a dairy farm fostered my love of all things living, and I especially like working with animals. I am outgoing, adventurous, and active, so corgis seemed like a great breed for my first dog. My husband grew up with coonhounds, and was skeptical of a "small" dog, but he finds corgis to be as neat as I do!
Welsh Corgi Breeder?
No

About My Corgi(s):
I have two corgis: Junebug and Elvis
Junebug is my first corgi. She's now 3, and we have had some serious fun together. I love corgis, and am thrilled when I see another one. However, Junebug is very small....16 lbs! But her personality is not limited by her size. She's all corgi! Fetch is her favorite activity, but we also walk, swim, rollerblade, and hike. She's a good student, having successfully completed her first obedience class and is now working on a repetoir of tricks. But mostly, Junebug is nuts :)

Elvis is much like his namesake: relaxed, handsome, self-confident, and good with the ladies (maybe when he gets older he'll develop a fondness for sequins and polyester??)

On a visit home, we were out on the horses. June was riding in the cart, but she wanted out. She kept up with my horse for a bit, but clearly wanted UP! I stopped and put her in the saddle with me, and she rode there like she was born there, even though it was her first experience with horses.
I have:
Pembroke

Elvis and Junebug pass their beginner's obedience test!

Posted on April 28, 2009 at 11:33am 1 Comment

Last night was test night for our beginner obedience class, and thankfully both dogs passed! They had to successfully complete the following:



Heeling with loose leash and minimal corrections

Sitting at the halt

sit stay for 1 min

down stay for 2 min

stand and stay for inspection

polite meet and greet

sit, stay, recall, and finish on command



About half of the dogs passed the test, and now we can go on to other classes! Junebug is going into… Continue

Success at last on the treadmill!!

Posted on January 5, 2009 at 2:53pm 1 Comment

A couple of years ago, I tried to teach Junebug how to walk on the treadmill. It wasn't ours, we don't own one, but I thought I'd take advantage of an opportunity. In short, she hated it, was afraid of it, and would no longer go to the basement where it was. We haven't approached one since.



This Christmas at Mom and Dad's, I thought I'd give it another try. I would use food, this time, and see if it helped. I had the chicken in hand, and just asked her to step on it. Each small… Continue

Corgis on Animal Planet's Dogs 101

Posted on October 27, 2008 at 4:45pm 7 Comments

On Saturday night, the AP miniseries "Dogs 101" profiled another group of breeds, and the PWC was one of them!

They did a good job of describing the history and notable characteristics of pems, and showed an array of cute corgi's. It was nice to see them get a minute of the spotlight!

Barking bothering the neighbors--help!

Posted on September 19, 2008 at 10:24am 5 Comments

Dh and I last week moved into a new apartment. The dogs seem to have adjusted well, for the most part, however Junebug is sensitive to noises outside, and gives an alert bark (1-2 barks) when she hears cars pull in, shutting doors, people talking outside, or other dogs barking. I have been working on desensitizing her to these noises but this can take a little time. I usually spend a few minutes with her right after work when I get home knocking on the door (which affects her the most) and… Continue

What kind of frontline did you use? Which Advantix do you use now? We're taking him in 2 days to the vet where we're going to get our 6 month supply - we just used a basic, emergency frontline dose yesterday - and we still haven't decided which flea med to get him for the long haul. Very stressful. I've heard the shelf flea meds like Sentry are a gamble, though they're only like $7 for 4 months. So any info about Advantix would help! Online testimonials, I can never believe.

thanks again for the help! i hope it works! Training him to sit, if i remember, didn't take very long at all. i hope it's the same way for getting him to stay.

elvis!!!!! i love it!!!! we were thinking lucy and ricky for my 2 but we didnt want to stray too far from their pound names. elvis was definitely an option- especially since we had a trip planned to graceland- but Astro stuck when he responded.
they are adorable!

It's not too bad, about an hour and a half. Do you know where Kanawha Falls is?

Lance can sit pretty still.....but still just look away from the camera....its not that he cant sit still he just doesnt want his picture taken! He just turned 3 so he doesnt have as much puppy energy....but still has enough. He has always been on the calm side though! I've heard cardis can be calmer than pems. Gotta love em all.
