Hi

I need help to upload my profile picture as it doesnt seem to allow me to do so.

Thanks

I want to thank you all for your suggestions and offers...however, when it comes down to actually making the decision to do this, we find that we cannot.  We cannot imagine being without our little guy and have decided to keep him and just work around any problems that arise.  Those Corgi lovers out there...all of you...know exactly what we mean.  Thank you though.

Shippo and I have been away from our regular website for quite some time now.  Life got in the way, and I was going through some super personal stuff.  I lost all motivation to do my normal activities, including visiting my favorite sites on the internet. But we're back now.

 

Alas, my camera also recently died, so any photos I post of Shippo between now and when I…

I wanted to invite any Corgis in the Portland, OR area to join our Corgi Meetup Group at this years OHS Doggie Dash May 12. 

We are going to form a team of Portland Corgi Low Riders and welcome all Corgi and Corgi friends to join us in the walk. Here is a direct link if you wish to join our team:…

Hi all,

Coby broke his tooth by chewing nylabone dental dinosaur on Tuesday night.

I visited several vets with this photo, and they were saying that either taking tooth out or root canal are the options.

and... regular vets…

The view between the ears is hilarious!! Gwynnie and Al - ask Dad to get one!!

i've called 7 of them this morning. i left messages for 5 of them and spoke to one who had a receptionist who said they weren't planning on breeding any time soon. i also spoke to a breeder's crotchety husband. the conversation went like this:

"NO she's NOT here she's at a dog show in fort worth. she comes back monday."

well can you leaver her a message for me please?

"are you in houston?"

no i am not right now..

"it would be better if you just called…

Mozzie's first day home went really well.  He peed outside every time we went out and pooped outside twice. This morning was a different story.  He pooped in the living room twice.  My husband took him out for a 15 minute walk before leaving for work and he peed outside, then pooped inside right before he had to leave. This was at a quarter til 6am.  I let our son wake up before feeding Mozzie and then taking him outside to pee and poo and that was about 8:30-9am.  I had him outside twice…

Does anyone have this? It seems like a bit of a scam, but I am not sure! Thoughts?

It seems we've skipped spring here in New York.  We had spring-like temperatures for about one week before skipping right on to summer!  The temperature has been between 75 and 80 for the past week and Ellie has been enjoying every last minute of it.  We've been going out for daily walks and she loves meeting new people every day (though she wonders why none of them stop to pet her!)  She has become quite fond of a really tiny park near us and gets very excited once she notices we're walking…

Sunday is the big day! Sidney and his team of low riders (30 corgis!) will be walking in the Paws in the Park fundraiser for the Escondido Humane Society.

We make quite a sight at the event.…

I've been working outside the past several days. The weather has been beautiful, though a bit warm for Illinois in March. I've had plenty of weeding and cleanup in all the flower beds. I'm not done by any means, but I have a great start for this early in the spring. The down-side has been the loneliness. This is the first spring in the eight years we have lived here that Stinky WInk hasn't been out there helping me. Every time I come around the house, I look for him to be lying in one of his…

thanks to a wonderful member here at mycorgi, i got a lead on a breeder in tennessee (6 hours away) who is selling red and white pems for $350-400 (much cheaper than the $1500 i was told yesterday from another breeder!) it was apparently an ad in the newspaper, so there's not much info that i know except that both parents are akc registered and so are the pups. i'm going to call today and get more info and hopefully this will be the one! the ad says the puppies will be ready in april. the…

took Angel voting for the Illinois primary today.  She was as impressed as I was over the choice of candidates.  She managed to entertain the increadibly bored election judges with a few tricks.  just a few words of warning,  make sure you adquately walk your corgi before voting, she might want to drop dookee on the whole election process.  end of line

My dog, like many on this list, was not a leash-puller from in front but from behind.  I was very inspired by this video:

dog leash video  

My puppy had become extremely leash resistant, it was a struggle getting him to the corner.   Putting treats down as the woman in the video does helped a lot to break that dynamic.  I also took a hint from a training book and…

and it was the scariest thing ever! it only lasted about a minute because she said she was in a meeting and would call back. i was so nervous! i'm anxiously awaiting her call back. does anyone have any advice on how to make a good first impression to a breeder over the phone? what are the right things to say? what do they like to hear in a first conversation? i have my list of important questions i would like to ask her, but i obviously can't start off by bombarding her with…

I walked Bartleby to a park today, and there was a ledge maybe 5 feet high between where the grass started (it was on a hill) and where the sidewalk was. Bartleby was walking along the ledge on leash, I was right next to him, and didn't perceive that he'd be dumb enough to jump off the ledge onto the concrete. I was wrong. He ran a little ahead of me and jumped for the sidewalk. He didn't yelp out at all but I made a loud shout in fear he was going to break his bones. Mid-air he seemed to…

Meet my new puppy!…
