Ludi replied to Melinda (Penny's Mom)'s discussion Meeting the baby"That is awesome! I am glad she's coming around. The sound of a baby crying is pretty distressing for dogs (and humans alike!) so yes, just give her time to adapt. And if she needs a quiet area to get away from the noise, make sure it's…"
Melinda (Penny's Mom) replied to Melinda (Penny's Mom)'s discussion Meeting the baby"Thanks for your insight guys! Last night went a little better. Penny wasn't allowed to sit with me or pester me while I was holding the baby. I told her no/down and she was pretty good about just sitting at my feet…"
Jane replied to Melinda (Penny's Mom)'s discussion Meeting the baby"I wouldn't let her on your lap while you're holding the baby. Tell her "off" or whatever your command is, and if she's too riled up I'd put her in her crate or an xpen. She needs to understand that the baby…"
Chris Payerl replied to Melinda (Penny's Mom)'s discussion Meeting the baby"Keep a blanket or something that the baby has worn that has her scent on it and put it where Penny can sniff it. She sees the baby as an intruder into your pack. She needs to get familiar with baby's scent and sound. Video tape the baby crying,…"
Ludi replied to Melinda (Penny's Mom)'s discussion Meeting the baby"Ask her for quiet, calm behaviour. Handling an infant is a very delicate scenario that can turn awry whenever a dog, particularly one who is misbehaving and hogging space, is involved. If Penny is crate-trained, ask her to stay in her crate while…"
Amy & Rubi Rae replied to Melinda (Penny's Mom)'s discussion Meeting the baby"I vote for not letting the dog compete for attention w the baby. She can easily hurt the baby or trip you up with her "space invader" behavior.
In dog language physically competing for space/attention is a social no-no. Here is…"

Penny met my grandaughter for the first time last night and she was very freaked out...especially when the baby was crying. She wanted to be in my lap when I was holding the baby...which I tried but it was pretty tough...and got all riled up everytime I moved around with her. When the baby left and she could sit with me she sat in the corner and pouted. Does anyone have any tips on how to cause poor Penny the list amount of stress when the baby is with me? I want both my babies to be happy!See More
Beth replied to Melinda (Penny's Mom)'s discussion Won't go up the stairs or jump up"If she were limping I'd be less worried and wait a couple days to see if it improved. But not wanting to do stairs or jump with no obvious soreness would make me worried about a back injury. It's entirely possible it's a minor little…"
Jane replied to Melinda (Penny's Mom)'s discussion Won't go up the stairs or jump up"I would take her to the vet personally. She must be in pain if she's unwilling to do her normal activities."
Melinda (Penny's Mom) posted a discussionWon't go up the stairs or jump up
This morning I found Penny waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs (she always sleeps upstairs). Then when I let her out she wouldn't come back up the stairs. Then when I sat down in the chair she wouldn't jump up to sit with me. I laid her down and felt around the inside where her back leg meets her body and she yelped when I touched the left side. She is walking normal and when I took her for a walk last night she was fine. Obviously something happened in the middle of the night but…See More

- About Me:
- I saw my first corgi about a year ago and just had to have one of my own. I am single and having Penny to come home to is great. They have so much personality and are so much fun! My daughter has two corgis and I often babysit/play grandma to them as well.

- About My Corgi(s):
- Penny loves to snuggle up in your neck and give kisses, and likes sitting on the recliner with mom watching tv. We get together with my daughters corgis Puck and and Penelope and they are maniacs when they are together! She loves the water and jumps in her kiddie pool everyday (in the summer) even if it's raining out! She also loves going to the dog park when we can get there. She is a very vocal girl...sometimes I call her barky!

- Pembroke

Continue Inactivity after spay
Posted on March 12, 2010 at 12:20pm 11 Comments 0 Likes
Penny was spayed on Wednesday and did very well. They tell you no running, jumping, playing for 7-10 days after and I'm concerned because in order for me to do that with Penny I'd have to glue her to the floor! I have tried to keep her off the couch but she sneaks when I'm not looking...and I bought a stair to help her off the bed...which she ignored and just jumped off the normal way! How did your corgi's do after their surgery...any advice on how strict I should be with the activity…
Continue Small growth
Posted on November 12, 2009 at 5:14pm 10 Comments 0 Likes
Last night when Ron was petting Penny he felt a small growth on her side. It is below the fur, is about the size of a pea, and you can move it around. Has anyone had experience with this type of thing. Should I bring her to the vet or watch to see if it will go away on it's own? Any advice/ideas would be great...thanks!

John Wolff said… - Just saying hi to the Duluth corgis. I left there in 1976 -- I'm sure nobody had ever heard of a corgi then -- my bro still lives there, on Park Point.
Not surprised that the toad passed easily -- we fed our first corgi a raw meat diet including raw chicken wings and small thighs; the raw bones just disappeared.

- Hi Melinda and Penny!!! Giving you a friendly Mn Hi!!! I noticed you were on the to dock or not to dock blog and mentioning how hard it is to find Corgis here in MN. We found Gemima and Phinneas in Waverly, MN. the website for their breeder is Dahlhousekennels.com. Waverly is 40miles west of Minneapolis. We got Edward in Lime Springs Iowa just about 6wks ago!! drop us a growl!!
