where's the parenting?

So I took Henry out today to meet a friend, and we were standing outside talking and a couple came by with their son who was maybe 4 or 5 at my best guess. I was holding Henry in my arms and the kid was standing there pointing and smiling at him and then I felt him hit Henry on the stomach. And then I looked down at him and he hit him again, this time harder! And I said, "Uhhhh, don't hit the doggie, you have to be nice to him and pet him nicely." And what were the parents doing this whole… Continue

Adventure at the Dog Park

Over the weekend we took Finnigan to the dog park to burn off some energy after being cooped up all week while we were at work. He had a great time and met some fun dogs including two huge Great Danes who slobbered all over him. Once he finally seemed worn out we went to leave and as my husband was putting him in the car he saw something from the corner of his eye dart under the car. I got down on the ground to investigate and sure enough there was a tiny baby Quail under the car. He was so… Continue

Change in living arrangements...advice welcome

Hi all,

I don't blog much but will likely start doing it more now that I am single again. My boyfriend and I have decided to part ways as we don't want the same thing right now. Unfortunately this means I need to find a new place to live. I want to stay in the DC area but the only area I can really afford that is part country/part city is Frederick, MD. I tried looking for a townhouse but my price range means there is not a lot available that allows pets. I still have hope but might have… Continue

Calling All Prayers & Good Thoughts

This is not Corgi related but I wanted to reach out and ask that you send your prayers and good thoughts to my father Eli. He was diagnosed with cancer and the odds are stacked against him. He is currently trying to recover from two surgeries and become well enough to leave the hospital and start chemo. He's been in the hospital for a month now and it's been difficult for him as well as the rest of my family. The doctors have given him a year or two to live and the chemo will help but cannot… Continue

Yard Work

I just had to talk about how funny it was to watch the dogs yesterday while we were doing yard work. We rototilled up about half of our yard to plant some grass seed and KC and Levi thought it was so nice to have some nice cool dirt to stretch out on and cool off. Taz surprisingly was not involved at first; he was hiding in the house. Then he came out and you could just see him looking at all that dirt going "oh boy", he is the digger in the family. We haven't figured out where he puts all the… Continue

Welcome Home

So over the past days I have welcomed a furry little angel into my home. I thought I had my puppy proofing sealed tight, but I quickly learned otherwise.

Sweet little Lola was my birthday gift, and what a wonderful gift she is. She even came with an additional present, fleas! I can't be too upset because she came from a farm and is healthy overall. Called the vet and was told to try a dose of capstar and frontline. She seemed to have improved greatly. It breaks my heart to isolate… Continue

Our decision will be made this Sunday...

Well, I thought I'd update the Mycorgi community on our decision to get a new pup. After a long back and forth talk with the breeder, she has finally made it evidently clear that she'd really like us to take this pup. So we have decided to bring Kiwi down to her house this Sunday to meet the little guy. Sunday, we will have our decision made. I'm a little nervous, not about how Kiwi will be, b/c I'm sure she'll be great, but more about re-doing the whole puppyhood thing...sigh...but you can… Continue

Everything happens for a reason...even if it's everything at once...

So to make a long story short my boyfriend in on vacation to the Philippines and he decided it was a good idea to get a girlfriend while he was there thinking I would never find out, but I did and now and moving out. Apparently 5 years means nothing to this jerk! haha Anyways I'm over it and I have until he gets home Wednesday night to move out so I never have to see him again, because he is pretty crazy! I am trying to run away and leave him a note saying you made the choice please dont try to… Continue

Wow!

I just wanted to say thanks to all the folks who welcomed me here, I already know that this is a great site!

Miso Soup actually hasn't come home JUST yet. She'll be here on Saturday! I've waited a long time to get our girl (been waiting 2 years to get a dog!), so obviously I'm excited!

We had to wait to bring her home, as we just moved into a new apartment (with no pet deposit)! I have everything prepared for her. It's very nice, because we live in short distance from… Continue

So . . . . . he figured out how to open his crate!!!!

Yup, two nights ago, Simon figured out how to open his crate. I found this out when he barked at 1 a.m., and I turn on the light, and there he is, standing by my bed, all proud of himself! :)

So now there's a LOCK on the crate -- and he's all mad cause he can't figure THAT out!

I can't get over how SMART my puppy is! He's already going to the door to let me know he has to potty! He's only 8 weeks old!!!!! He doesn't do it ALL the time, and does still have accidents, but he… Continue

1 year and counting.

Fargo turned 1 year old on Friday May 8th. I can't believe how old he is. Having him in my life can sometimes be a challenge, but it's one of the best decisions I've even made. He's such a good boy and is really a happy dog. He could be better trained (hangs my head) as his listening skills are lacking at times and he tends to be a bit over zealous when he sees other dogs and just wants to hardcore play, but he's so smart and such a lover.

He loves to fetch, though he hates to give… Continue

Six Week Visit!

My boyfriend and I met our puppy Starbuck today. She's about 6 and a half weeks, and we bring her home in less than two weeks! She's awesome. At first I was nervous because she was the only puppy not jumping around and stuff. She just laid quietly in my arms. My only thought was, "Please don't let her always be the puppy alone in the corner!" meaning please let her not be antisocial and scared of everything. After just a few minutes, she livened up and gave lots of kissies-- my favorite scent… Continue

My Dad passed away this morning.

I am just destroyed. He was sick for the past couple of days and refused to go to the hospital. We finally got him to the doctor on Saturday. We just don't know what happened. It started out as a cold, but grew into a chest infection of some sort. I just wish I could have convinced him to go to the hospital. He was only 61 years old. I have lost my best friend. :_:

Tigger the man killer

tigger is OBESSED with people. ANYONE new he MUST meet. it's kindof cute but i just wish he was that enthusiastic about meeting other dogs. at puppy class he sniffs aroufn for about 20 mins and then lays down in the middle of the floor....lol. kindof embarassing.

on another note we MIGHT be adopting Tiggers mom. =] I'm exciting but we're still waiting to hear back. I think it will be good for him to grow up with another dog given hes so shy around his own kind...maybe its because he… Continue

Gotta Love My Lemon!

Sky, my Mini Australian Shepherd, has a propensity for needing veterinary attention. If there is an illness to catch, a disease to inherit, or an injury to get, he is there. I affectionally call him my "lemon" dog because everything seems to go wrong with him.

Well, Friday was his 1st birthday so he decide to go big (Sky never does anything halfway!). I had 3 kids over for the evening and we were letting the dogs out before we went to dinner. We were all standing on the patio and I… Continue

Almost one week...

It's been nearly a week since I brought Teddy home. He's adjusting to life without his two sisters and mother. He has taken to his crate with ease and is doing fairly well on the potty training, only a handful of accidents. He's even made friends with one of my cats, little Miss Mooch. My other cat, B, is still a little bit nervous and unsure but he'll come around.

I'm having a lot of fun with him, learning about him and his little quirks, like how he tosses his bone into the air… Continue

Corgis on TV

Last night I got to watch my favorite episode of NCIS...of course the one with Corgis. The Medical Examiner's mother (they are British) has 4 Corgis. The Corgis get a lot of screen time and dialog about them. I love when Gibbs tells Tony that the dogs are not hounds "They're Corgis". Also the ME says that in Wales the Corgi is the protector of the farmer and in his house they protect his mother. The Corgis really make the episode for me.
