That time of season is here again, and may I say that here in Iowa, we are CRAZY for our Hawkeyes!  This year we are totally ready...as you can see, we have some of our team in tip-top shape and ready to play!  Seanna is our linebacker, and Jackson our quarterback. 

GO HAWKS!!…

We adopted LeeLoo through a rescue.  The amount of time, gas, patience and work that went into getting me my dog is incredible, especially from people who rescue or foster for no money or recognition. 

I have been a volunteer for the Vanderburgh Humane Society for about 6 years now.  On Sunday, I'll be helping with my first transport since adopting LeeLoo and it finally makes sense to me why this is so important.  I have no plans for Sunday and an 8 year old Brittany Springer Spaniel…

So it seems like its been forever!!! lol

as i type ah jai is sleeping next to me, breathing gently in and out, totally undisturbed by the turbulence caused by the flickering of my fingers. he sleeps so peacefully, so comfortably, and so full of trust, that it's as if nothing is ever going to harm him as he shut down all his senses to the outside world, because i'm here with him.

and i'm suddenly…

If anyone is looking for a cute Corgi door mat, Amazon has a few - I ordered this one--

Corgi door mat

Many in the pacific northwest are obsessed with the search for big foot.  We, however, spend our weekends trekking the trails in search of Al, the Great Mountain Corgi.

This weekend we bagged our first peak.  So, Al, if you are out there, watch your tail (oops) I mean, little corgi butt.  We could be right behind you.…

It's been awhile since my last blog post!  My laptop decided to burn out (literally!) and I don't often have time to boot up the 'ol desktop system.  Luckily, I'll be getting a new one soon!

My little Ellie girl is growing fast!  She's up to 10 lbs. already (averaging about a 1 lb. gain each week) and is just a little bundle of energy.  She has learned how to sit, lie down and shake.  She has one more booster shot to go before she's finally done for the year (I think!) and…

Whenever I pull up weeds from my lawn (which is often), or overgrown pacasandra, Pippy is convinced I'm going to throw it and tries to chomp on it. She is always expecting me to throw it, as if it were a ball. Sad thing is, Pippy still hasn't learned to retrieve.

Another thing Pippy likes to do is "help" us out in the garden. However, she doesn't know much about gardening, and frequently sits on the flowers, cracking a big smile and looking satisfied with herself.

She can act…

Today Derek and I had to say good-bye to our little boy. Roscoe caught a very strong string of Parvo, and passed away within 36 hours of being diagnosed. He had 2 of the 3 boosters for Parvo, but he was just wasn't old enough for his last one. We were very careful about contact with older dogs, and are floored that this could happen to our little one. The vets said that we did everything possible, but the virus was just too much for Roscoe's body to handle. He was only 10 1/2 weeks…

Hey all.

Just a little update about Derek's and I's little one. We took him to the vet yet again this morning, and his Parvo test came back positive. Roscoe and I are back home with every method possible of helping Roscoe fight this virus. Support and advice, per usual, is always welcome and very much needed. Thanks y'all.

Katie, Derek, and Roscoe.

Morning all!

I have to share, because I think only corgi owners can appreciate this as much as I do.

Mitzie has made herself the lifeguard of the dog park.  She doesn't go there to frap, sniff, or make friends.  She has a higher calling.  Now, when we get there, she climbs on top of a picnic table and polices everyone.  If anyone is playing too rough, barking too much, or making a child squeal, she launches off her table and flies over to investigate.  If…

My 12 week old puppy is still having trouble with house training.  Does it take some pups longer to learn the ropes or am I doing something wrong?

We took Buddy and Chase to our local dog park this afternoon. We don’t do this often; in fact, it has been quite a long time since we took them to a park to roam free. This is probably why we are having a problem. Buddy (8yrs old) was socialized a lot as a puppy and he could really care less about other dogs. He will go up and sniff them but will lose interest quickly. Chase (7yrs old) is another story. He didn’t get socialized much as a pup. He is pretty good with other dogs about his size…

My vision of the perfect life is to live in a countryside cottage surrounded by trees and flowers and grass, with a narrow stream of water flowing gently by.

The neighbours will be friendly, and there will be a lovely local pub where people hang out and chill.

And i will keep three Pembroke Corgis who're lively and playful and perhaps a golden retriever (though I am afraid being a pushover breed he's probably gonna be bossed over by the corgis), and there will be a field for…
