<p>Maple is a good sleeper lol... it was so funny last night because she must have been in her REM sleep and having an exciting dream! She was growling, barking and kicking in her sleep! She'd wimper, and then back to growling lol...it was so cute and funny :) I have never seen her in such an active sleeping state but it definitely was adorable. </p>
<p>Is this normal?</p>
<p>Tell me about your experiences with this! I'd love to hear them. Thanks for posting!</p>

<p>Hi everyone, </p>
<p>I noticed today that Maple had what looks like filaments, or long thick hair growing from her two back paw pads. First we thought it might be a fungal infection and after doing some research online and looking at some pictures, it sounds like she might have Nasodigital Hyperkeratosis, an ailment that occurs in dogs paws and nose. Apparently excess keratin grows and creates a fuzzy hair like growth on the paw pad. </p>

<p>Have any of you experienced this with your dog? If so, can you give advice on what you did to treat it? Seems like it will be a condition for life and can be treated at home. In severe cases, doggy will have to go to the vet to have the doc shave off the excessive keratin, but it does grow back. Any words from you would be of great help! Thanks a lot!!!</p>My puppy is all grown up!

<p>The day I brought Maple home, I was so anxious to have the excitement of a cute puppy running around the house. She was rambunctious in every way but I totally loved it and her. She would tear apart anything I would give her in minutes! She had never ending energy, always wanting to play with others or herself. She never had a problem keeping herself entertained! Boy, I miss those days!</p>

<p>Maple turned 3 years old last month, and her bday gift was a new chew toy. Which is still intact...say what?!?! Yes, she has not ripped it into shreds yet. She was happy to receive it, spending a whole 5 minutes laying on her back, holding up her new chew toy with her itty bitty arms enjoying each bite lol...as I type I can see it laying in the hallway (still intact) and she elsewhere. </p>
<p>I miss my crazy pup! She is so mature now. Is this how it's going to be? For those of you who have adult corgis, I would like to hear the transitional stories of pup to all grown up that you have experienced. I look forward to reading your comments, thanks! </p>Do you believe Corgis actually smile?tag:mycorgi.com,2013-03-28:1150197:BlogPost:17257942013-03-28T03:36:34.000ZMaple (owners Alicia n Orlando)http://mycorgi.com/profile/AliciaNOrlando
<p>Because I do. I love dogs, always have, but I have never come across such a happy and cheerful breed such as the Corgi. Most all vets/doctors/anyone who studies dogs will say that dogs aren't capable of smiling (or so I have read and heard; someone please correct me if I am wrong), but there is something about this breed that makes me feel otherwise. Maybe it's because I love my little (actually BIG) Maple so much and I am hopeful :). </p>
<p>For those of you who agree, please reply and…</p>

<p>For those of you who agree, please reply and let me know why you feel this way. I would love to know that I am not alone!</p>
<p>For those of you who do not agree, I'd like to know your scientific reasoning. This may give me a reality check lol</p>
<p>Thanks my fellow corgi lovers!</p>My corgi is too fat!tag:mycorgi.com,2013-03-23:1150197:BlogPost:17238762013-03-23T02:02:24.000ZMaple (owners Alicia n Orlando)http://mycorgi.com/profile/AliciaNOrlando
<p>As per the vet...I prefer to use the term "big boned". She went in for an update on her vaccines and during her physical, we were informed that she is 37 lbs...which is apparently 10 lbs too much...you can't feel her ribs, she has no waist, etc..Ouch! Needless to say, when I left there I felt like a bad mom. So now Maple is on a strict diet, going on brisk walks and is only allowed 1 treat per day. Basically, she has been enrolled in doggy boot camp! So I am just wondering, for any of you…</p>

Basically, she has been enrolled in doggy boot camp! So I am just wondering, for any of you out there who has/had an overweight corgi on a diet, how quickly do you notice a change? It has been nearly a month and I don't see much of a difference. Your opinions are definitely appreciated! Thank you!!!</p>
