We almost lost our dear Joey last week due to vomiting and diarrhea.  He's an old guy and older dogs can go downhill very quickly when this happens.  Fortunately our doctor in Marina Del Rey California helped us over the phone with a diagnosis and a perscription for an antibiotic.  Joey has recovered completely!

But we believe his gastroenteritis was due to drinking pavement water that was sitting in the sun and had parasites.  Also Joey is a scavenger and will eat anything…

What do you mean, this was a  difficult photo shoot, look how well I am laying now....after I calmed down, and there was possibly something good for me.  I can't help Lance has had many more years of practice than me.  :)

I found this article and I thought I should share it to other corgi lovers =)

GO CORGIS!

We are using the photographs of our fabulous 2011 Corgi Walk in the Pearl into a 2012 calendar.  The calendar features photos from the Walk and includes the Corgis and their owners.  The calendar will be available in late October and will sell for $12 in pet stores throughout Oregon and Vancouver, Washington** and for $11.25 if purchases are made through me.  Make check to: Corgi Walk in the Pearl and send to:

So we visited the Wagging Tail Dog Park today!

Zombie's first visit! She's been everywhere else with me, disc golfing, the lake, etc. But I was nervous to take her to the dog park, just because I know quite a few smaller dogs that aren't so…

Our 14-year-old dog Abbey died last month. The day after she passed away my 4-year-old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey. She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her. I told her that I thought we could so, and she dictated these words:



Dear God,…

Today it was time for me to say good bye to Sweet Boy, my nearly sixteen year old cat. As this picture shows, Teddy was afraid of the little ten pound cat and B honestly despised the noisy corgi. This is the only time I caught them together on the bed. Usually B would growl slightly and send Teddy scampering away.

However, Teddy is aware that…

Today we picked out our first Corgi.  I've named him Brian after being a long time fan of the Family Guy.  This will be my first small dog ever!  I am a stay at home mom to 2 gorgeous German Shepherds.  They've been wanting a small dog to call their own.  

I've read many blog posts on food and other things, but I'm so overwhelmed with trying to find out about a breed that I know nothing about... other than I've always wanted one because they are cute.  SO...  after much…

Harrison will be 4 months tomorrow (happy birthday little guy! )  So i got his his last set of puppy shots last Wednesday and on Sunday we made our way to our local dog beach and he loved it! Well.. he loved the sand and all the other dogs, but he didn't like the cold water. lol . We also took our chihuahua who despite being kinda anti-social had a blast as well!

As for my brothers corgi-poodle, Elly, she is doing fine and dandy. Her and Harrison have a great time playing…

 I did not make it, but I thought someone making a war corgi cosplay for Halloween would be deemed epic by fellow corgi…

So Friday my brother and sis in law got the keys to their new house (well duplex LOL) and Sunday we helped them move~

Allisha (lisha) asked if i could help bathe scrappy their pittbull i said no problem ace needed a bath also so they both got one :D

Suprisingly Ace has been a naughty boy.. I mean not VERY naughty he just is so over stimulated he cant listen i guess lol either that or he feels Uncle Scrappy is around so he doesnt need too.. well anyways we went to their house and…

Emmy got spayed today. I went to a really nice vet that let me take her home the day of. My heart is broken for my little baby. She just seems so miserable. I'm trying not to feel sorry for her because I know she can feel my emotions, but I can't help it. She is moving so slowly. Her mouth is so dry but she won't drink. She just wants to lay on the floor. I don't know if she's hurting because she doesn't cry. I just want to help her, but I don't know what to do. I am hoping she bounces back…

Today a group of twelve corgis from two countries successfully circumnavigated Lake Padden in Bellingham, Washington without war breaking out.  Could this be the solution to world peace.  Maybe all owners should  take their corgis for a walk to promote peace and harmony.  We must try this soon in Vancouver, BC.

There was no discrimination in regards to breed, colour, age, height, tailed or non, able bodied or not.  Just a pack of dogs out enjoying the day.…

10:30 - Went out for a potty break.

10:50 - Sat scratching her nose on the carpet.

11:00 - Her head was an inch wider on all sides

11:01 - Called vet ER, crying, thinking she was going to die.

11:15 - Why do they always have to stick a finger in her butt?

11:30 - A shot and a treat.  Puffy face for 6 more hours, but…

Little Miss Ellie went in for her spay on the 17th.  What a trooper she's been!  She was her usual self from the moment she returned home (the Vet kept her overnight for observation, which is standard practice at their office) and was as playful as always.  I, on the other hand, was a total wreck about it last week. 

I knew she wasn't in pain and all would be well, but I felt absolutely horrible about keeping her confined to her crate nearly all day long.  Why not…

I've started an actual training schedule for Baxter, with a bunch of different exercises we can do to keep things interesting. We will competing for the first time in November and I want to feel more prepared. So I'm going to post about our training sessions here so I can chart Baxter's progress. Last night's drills:

• Weaves - 6 closed poles, with guides (the last guide was missing because I miscounted although the missing guide…
