Camden, my ever social loving 8 month old, is normally well behaved and if not, is easy to correct. Except for when it involves trimming his nails.He's always been a drama queen when it came to his…Continue

A friend of mine regularly takes her German Shepard, Mila, walking on some trails locally. She used to go with another friend with her Pitt Bull, but the dog was diagnosed with arthritis. Since she didn't want to go by herself, Camden & I got an invite.
I have to say, I am pleasantly surprised how well Camden has taken to hiking. On our normal walks, which are maybe 20 to 30 mins long, he'll lay down and force me to stop or even pick him up to take him home. Tonight we hiked for…

Funny story time!
Since I live in an apartment (and it has been so hot- stupid drought), I regularly take Camden to the local dog park in the evenings. This particular evening, Camden & I stayed on the little dog area of the park since Camden didn't seem to like a particular dog. He definitely was the big boy in comparison to the Yorkies and dachshunds.
At one point, a stuffing free toy was added to the mix. Initially, an eight pound dachshund named Bella had the…

Camden was thrilled to be at the vet as usual. And no, that is not sarcasm, he really does love going to the vet. In his excitement, Camden actually forgot about his leg. He was pulling on his leash as hard as he could. Once we got him calmed down, the doctor did a physical exam. Camden was quiet all the way through it until the doctor made him spread eagle. He didn't like that much. We also got some x-rays.
Thankfully, Camden has no damage to his ACL or ligaments. His hips and joints…

So, in the last month Camden has celebrated his first birthday, came down with some sort of eye infection that the doctor could not figure out, but the meds did fix the problem. I thought everything would be good to go until September for his yearly vaccinations... Guess not.
My poor puppy started limping late Thursday night. I checked his rear left leg, and he showed no signs of pain on contact. I restricted his movement through the weekend, and he was recovering when I took…
ContinueI canceled the Illinois Corgi Picnic due to the weather.
I wanted to make sure you knew so you did not drive to Freeport on Sunday.
I wrote the statement below and added it to the event's discussion....
Yes, we need to cancel the picnic. :(
The shelter manager wrote me yesterday and again today and stated that it is supposed to rain all weekend and that she just assumed that we would not be having the picnic this weekend. So I wrote and told her that we will cancel.
The weather now says.... Occasional showers and possibly a thunderstorm before 1pm, then a chance of showers. Temperature rising to near 64 by 10am, then falling to around 56 during the remainder of the day. South wind 10 to 15 mph becoming west in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.
So it will be windy as well as wet.
I like Stephanie's idea of sending a donation to Friend's Forever Shelter. I was thinking of doing that myself last night. Then the dog food, treats, and the paper towels I have purchased will go to my local shelter next week.
Sorry, guys. Mother nature did not cooperate this year.

Amanda, Matt and Oliver said… Haha oh my gosh it sounds like Ollie is just like Ted too! Such a ham!!!!
I wish I could have gone to Sally's to pick Ollie up. We had him shipped to us! I thought it would traumatize him completely but Sally told us that if any puppy in his litter could handle it, it was Ollie. He was apparently the most dominant of all of the pups, and it definitely shows today! And she was right, as soon as I got him off the plane, he acted like nothing had happened and was ready to play and explore!
Camden is certainly growing up to be such a handsome boy! They grow so stinkin' quick. :( And I definitely understand the withdrawals, it's like every time I leave Ollie and go out of town I feel like I can't wait to have a break from him and his antics, but as soon as I'm without him I start missing him like crazy. I've boarded him at the doggie daycare I worked at and still would call 4 times a day to check on him. They steal your heart without any mercy!!!!
Hope to see you at the Illinois Corgi Picnic! Last year was great fun and lots of good food. We got lots of donations for the shelter there as well.
I noticed you are from Normal , IL. Next year you should come to CORGI-CON. We had the first CORGI-CON May 19th this year. It was at the Urbana Dog Park. That is not too far for you. We had 23 Corgis, so I plan to do it again next year. Here is the link to the details from this year's flyer... http://www.mycorgi.com/events/corgi-con-in-east-central-illinois
Hope to meet you October 14!

Amanda, Matt and Oliver said… And about the chewing, I know your pain! Ollie was a SUPER chewer up until he was a year and a half old. He couldn't sleep on a bed or he would tear it to shreds if we looked away for a second and had to sleep with blankets for so long. He would destroy every and any toy we gave him in a matter of minutes. We even spent like $30 once on one of those fancy "tough toys" thinking he could keep it nice since they are hard to destroy, and he managed to chew it to pieces in only a few days. Thankfully though one day he just kinda stopped. Now, he treats his toys like babies and carries them around with him and cleans them and brings them to bed. We finally trusted him enough to buy him a nice bed, and he's had it for about 6 months now without so much as a rip to it!! Hopefully Camden will grow out of it too! I know it was a nightmare not being able to leave Ollie alone out of his crate without coming home to everything being destroyed. Now the crate is non-existant! :)
Amanda, Matt and Oliver said… Haha so funny!! Ollie actually tried to be friends and play with my mom's cats, and ended up with a big scratch on his nose, so he too isn't a huge fan of cats. And he's smart and willing to learn, but about as stubborn as a donkey. Usually when you call his name he'll start walking over to you like he's excited and then quickly turn away and ignore you. I bet they'd get along so well together!!
Amanda, Matt and Oliver said… Aww I knew it! They look so alike! It is so cool to see one of Oliver's brothers. I bet they are very similar in personality too!! Oliver is VERY smart and sweet, but he is a brat through and through and always gets his own way!
Amanda, Matt and Oliver said… Hello! I see that you got your beautiful Camden from Denning Farms in Iowa! That is where we got our amazing boy Ollie! He is out of Polly and Ted, could they possibly be brothers?? They look an awful lot alike! Would be cool to find Oliver's siblings!
