Happy New Year everyone. We had a nice holiday at home, always best. Hope you all had a great Holiday season.

Cracker Hat is to be worn around ones neck.…

A friend of mine picked up a bag of peppermint sticks to give to my horse Red. It was a treat for him since he had moved to a new barn.  I decided to take the corgis with me, since it has been a long day, it was very cold and they would enjoy a walk around the new barn.  As we were driving to the barn, Tigs got closer and closer to me. 

"Awww, he wants to cuddle." NOT! He was doing recon work on the yummy smelling peppermint sticks in my purse that was under my car…

I'm having my 16 week old pembroke corgi spayed on the 19th of this month, and I had a long talk with a vet friend of mine about the procedure and now I'm a little paranoid. She told me that her office does the following for every single spay surgery:

physical exam before the surgery

blood panel work up

iv fluids during procedure

continuous pulse ox and blood pressure monitoring during procedure

pain meds for after, and to take…

I don’t know what a year is, new or otherwise but, so far, it’s going great!  We stayed up late on New Year’s Eve.  Mum made us pointy hats that had polka dots and our names.  She did this in a hurry (she said) so she said she didn’t have a proper way to…

1/8 - UPDATE: The licking has begun. :(  Cone of shame is not going to cut it; headed to Petsmart to find a donut (because Petco doesn't have any).

Jon Farleigh underwent the "procedure" yesterday. This is how he looked last night:

Can you say "grouchy"?

(He was determined to show Dewi that he was still higher in the pack and…

A local artist offered her services for a fundraiser so an assistance dog could have surgery. Here's Sidney's masterpiece!

Hello all my corgi friends!  It's been a while since I have checked in.  I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and enjoyed time with family, friends and fur babies.  Isabella was spoiled rotten with new toys and treats.  She loved chewing up all the boxes and wrapping paper.  It was great fun!  Oh, right before Christmas Isabella went to her first grooming appointment.  I am great at baths and have no problems there, but she developed a few mats behind her ears that I didn't want to…

We had our first Christmas with Winston. We drove up to Virginia with him and he got to see snow! He took to it quickly. Even on our first walk around the neighborhood, he decided he'd rather hop about in the snow than walk along the asphalt with us. We wrapped some big snack chew treats in paper and let Winston unwrap them. He did pretty well for his first time, but after he had some help, he kept trying to look into the wrapping paper for the bone. It was cute.

What was…

I have noticed recently (last 2 weeks) Roslyn has started a new behavior.

I have always been quite proud that she is hardly ever destructive (except for the time when she and a friends dog decided that ripping each leg off an octopus toy during tug of war was a good idea), and has always known the difference between her toys and my things.

until recently

Suddenly I find her sleeping on my slippers every morning. Each morning my husband wakes up first to…

So not to show favorites my wonderful boyfriend has completed this masterpiece:

My baby came home for the first time on November 11, 2009 at 8 weeks old. She was just a tiny little thing, but has already grown to about 25 pounds. I can't believe it's already been over a year since she's been home: I actually had to double check the date, because it feels like our time together has been so short.

I have another dog, Lady- a German Shepherd, and if the weather permits, both stay outdoors. I'm in California so Mango likes to be outside at night, chasing all the bees…

Well, it has been just under four months since Sidney underwent FHO surgery for his hip dysplasia.

It has been a tradition for me to take Sidney and whichever kids I could drag out of bed on a New Year's Day hike on one of our local trails. I was sure that Sidney would not be able to join us this year due to his surgery. But he has been healing so well…
