Hometown:: Saint Louis, MO

About Me:: I am a 26 year old new Corgi owner. My husband and I married June 29th this year and Corgi ownership was first on our list! I grew up with other breeds in the house all my life, but the first time I saw a Corgi I fell in love! He grew up in a home with out a dog, so with the Corgi's intelligence and even with their personality quirks, I know he loves her already!

Welsh Corgi Breeder?: No

About My Corgi(s):: Our Pembroke Corgi Lola, is a 6 year old rescue. We brought her home 10-12-12 from her foster family and it's been love at first lick! Right now, she is exactly the opposite of a Pembroke (almost Cardigan like) in how she acts, but a lot of that can be attributed to being in a new home. From what I know from the shelter, she was a puppy mill "puppy machine" and was severely mistreated. She had earmites as a puppy and it was never treated, so her left ear doesn't stand up as it should. We're not sure if there's any hearing loss, but we're taking her to the vet this week. She was found abandoned on the side of the road in Camdenton, MO this summer (how she survived the summer with these conditions is incredible! She's definitely our little survivor!). She was found with a belly full of worms but her previous vet seems to have helped get rid of them. She seems to be terrified of stairs, squeaky toys, and starting petting sessions above her head, so we're just showing her as much love as we can on her own terms. I can't wait for her personality and quirks to show up. She's just learning how to be a real dog. Sometime soon we're going to be looking at bringing her home a playmate (either Pembroke or Cardigan).

HELP!!!!

I need some advice... My husband and I brought Lola to my parents house for the weekend to visit. They have a Tibetan Terrier (about the same size as a Corgi, just a bit taller) female that is 12 years old and very friendly named Madison. We were trying to figure out how to introduce the two without any issues. Lola's been so calm with other dogs at the park and with humans I didn't think there would be an issue... I was really wrong.

Any time Madison gets within 5 feet of…

I know I'm a worry wort, so I should have known it would all be OK. Lola came back Heartworm Negative! I almost cried harder in joy about that than I did when they were trying to take her blood. Took 3 syringes and both front legs to get it done.

We found out she DOES have Hook Worms, but that seems to be easy to treat. Three packets of medication over 3 days and then her heartworm/intestinal worm/flea preventative. All in all, a VERY healthy girl!

She has a…

Lola seems to have adjusted fairly well to the family! I'm a little anxious for tomorrow. I emailed back and forth with Lola's foster mommy and found out a little bit more about her background. Apparently she was more of a stray than a "puppy mill" dog like we were told. It doesn't lessen our love for her, but it does concern me a little bit. We have a vet appointment tomorrow morning for a basic checkup and for her heartworm test. I wasn't worried about this before now, but I'm getting…

Welcome home, Lola!

I must say, I thought I would have made this sooner, but new dogs really do make you wonder "where did all my time go?"

Brian and I brought Lola (formerly known as Sweet Pea to the lovely ladies at the Blue Moon Sanctuary in Camdenton, MO) home from her foster family on Friday last week. It was wonderful to get…
