Yet another post from me and Chase.

I was going to include this in my previous blog post but I decided to make another instead.

My fiance and I adopted a cat last year and named her Daisy. She was in a shelter and needed a home. When we adopted Daisy we made sure that she was good with other cats and dogs. I knew that I would want a dog in the future when we had the space for one.

We discovered that the information that they gave us on Daisy was completely wrong. She hates…

My 6 month old Corgi, Chase, has a serious issue with the windshield wipers...

One (rainy) day while going to the vet for a check up, my fiance and I discovered that Chase hates the wind shield wipers. He barked and barked at them while following them back a forth with his head.

At first it was a little funny. I took a video of it and then made Chase quiet down. All was well.

THEN days or weeks later, my fiance thought it would be funny to turn the windshield wipers on and…

as most of you know, i got ravioli about 2 weeks ago. at first i had some of the usual puppy-in-a-new-environment problems, but after a few days he was doing really well. i taught him how to walk on a leash and he learned his name and everything. the first 2 days i had him at my boyfriend's apartment, then i moved him to mine where i live with my roommate. this is where it gets sad.. =( not long after i brought him to my apartment, my roommate started complaining about her throat itching and…

Today we started to officially 'master the walk'. Miles is doing very well, and so is my 12 y.o. daughter Julia.

Hi MyCorgi friends Edward is 3 years old today!!!

Where do the years go?  My handsome boy is five years old today!   Happy birthday, sweet little man.  He's my dog of a lifetime and I absolutely adore the stubborn little thing. 

...because Saber is obsessed with removing any sort of bandage from me. Any one else have that problem?

In other news, Saber seems to really have fetch reliably down, knows sit, lay down, ding the service desk bell to go outside, and stand up and touch my hand. I went to a convention for a weekend and left her in the care of my mother.  Her new thing is to climb into my lap anytime I sit on the ground.  I think that she thinks that I can't leave if she's in my lap.  It's kind…

I rarely write here anymore and I was actually going to see if I could wait until the middle of May for an update because that will have been Poppy and my 6th month anniversary together! But the last few weeks have been kind of up and down and I feel like updating today. I actually can't believe it's been so long since my last update!

To start off good, things have been going pretty well. Hardly any barked and whining when I leave. Even when I have to go out at night or run errands on…

Just got done giving Chase a much needed bath, he did not enjoy it at all. It may seem weird to some, but sometimes bathe him with me when I take a shower. He seems to handle that much better. I think maybe it's because he's in there with me? He's such a mama's boy.

So I was just wondering...

Who hates bath time and who loves it?

Also if you have methods to making bath time more fun I would love to hear them.

Chase and I play right after bath time. Tug o' war with the…

     It has been a while since I have written anything about Stinky Wink, but he has been on my mind much of the day--not that he's ever very far from my thoughts. We have been having a new deck built across the back of the house. Wink would have loved it because he could have viewed his little kingdom from a higher vantage point. When I look out the kitchen window above the sink, I can easily see his grave between the spindles of the railing.

     I was planting some annuals beside…

I received a very fancy e-mail today from the AKC, saying that Ace has been registered in their books. :) So, he's now officially Pynewoode's Ace of Hearts. Isn't that a lovely, perfect name! I can't wait to frame his pedigree when it arrives in the post!

In other news, Ace now has a steady girlfriend (a Border Collie puppy named Gaia) and they have been dating for a week now! Every day for 2 hours straight they zig and zag in a huge, 11.5 hectare park in the heart of my city,…

This really doesn't have much to do with corgis, but I felt like writing something today.

We will be able to move into the house we are buying in probably around 2 weeks!  This is so exciting, since I decided no puppy until we have the house and a fenced in area.  The first project will be a deck out back looking toward the woods, then we will get some sort of small decorative fence for part of the yard. 

Need to make sure we have plenty of money before we actually get the…

Invited the two "boys" from next door over, my daughter's lab/newfie mix and Shima to play with Sebastian and Chloe. They are going crazy in the backyard with my Corgi, Sebastian, is keeping tabs on all of them.  He definitely thinks he is in charge. Just wish he didn't have to bark while doing it! He is so vocal!

Well, Jack has been here for just about 24 hours now. And I can honestly say, I love this puppy!

Jack was a show prospect before he came to live with me, so he's never learned any of those "silly" things like "sit" or "stay". But he's one of the most polite puppies I've ever met! He doesn't try to eat everything, and if he does, a stern "no" will usually deter him. He does lick... kinda a lot though. Not sure if this will be a problem or not, since I'm not a huge fan of dog…

April 27, 2012

            Mum was at work and Daddy was getting dressed to go out so he let me out the deck door and I ran outside into the cool spring air.  We had been napping most of the day in our cozy, warm huddle on the TV room bed.  Mum has lots of pillows and soft blankets in there and Daddy is one of the best blankets there are – he rumbles and vibrates like a dirge and I drift away. 

            The cool, brisk air hit me full in the face as I bounded off the steps;…

Just a little post to share that this has been a strange weekend for us. We homeschool and there was a big convention that started Thursday and went through today (Saturday) that we needed to attend. Even though it's local, we made the decision to board the dogs (all three of them) because we had to be gone such long hours. So now we're done and home and the house is sooooooooooooooo empty! We can't pick the dogs up until Monday because they don't do Sunday releases. It seems so strange not…

For a math class on symmetry in 6th grade, my son had to use a photo of a symmetrical animal and draw in one half.

"What immortal hand or eye/dare frame they fearful symmetry?"

My fiance and I have been working on basic training and behavior with our 6 month old Corgi, Chase. So far he has learned and responded well to "sit" and "go to bed" but the real issue we have is his mannerisms with strangers. This may be (and probably is) my fault because when I first got him I would not let strangers in Petsmart or Petco touch him. I am not a huge fan of exchanging germs with other people and I did not want them to make him sick or pass their germs on to him. But now Chase…

Hello everyone! Chase and I are new to the site and this is our first blog post.

I finally decided to join because I often found myself coming here for answers to my "Is this just a "Corgi thing?" questions. I like MyCorgi.com because it is full of experienced Corgi parents and new Corgi parents, like…
